Round 3 Team You Would Pick

[JC99]

What team would you guys pick? For me I would have them run out like this:

1 Laurie
2 Nofa
3 Roberts (if fit, Talau if not)
4 Mbye
5 Talau (Kepaoa if Talau at centre)
6 Doueihi
7 Brooks
8 Ofahengaue
9 Liddle
10 Tamou
11 Garner (much improved defence)
12 Luciano
13 Twal

14 Jake Simpkin
15 Musgrove
16 Stefano
17 Mikaele

Should fix that left edge defence

If Brooks is to stay in the team - i would swap Douehi to 7 and Brooks to 6.

We need someone in 7 who is a confident leader that bosses this team around the park.

Everyone knows Douehi is the boss out of the two.

 

[AL The Tiger]

1. Laurie
2. Nofo
3. JTJ
4. Mbye
5. Talau
6. Doueihi
7. Brooks
8. Tamou
9. Liddle
10. Mikaele
11. Leilua
12. Garner
13. Twal

14. Simpkin
15. Utoikamanu
16. Musgrove
17. Joe O

One of the starting props (Tamou or Joe O) has to be dropped to the bench, because we seem to be getting torn apart as soon as they come off the field and our rookies come into the fray

13. Simpkins

14. Brooks (this time he must not come into the halves but play in the middle)
15. Tamou
16. Stefano
17. Musgrove

 

[old_man_tiger]

Enough is enough

Mbye
Nofo
JtJ
Talau
Kepaoa (no options)
Doueihi
Laurie (or swap with mbye)
Tamou
Liddle
Twal
Luch
Garner
Ofa

Simpkin
Uto
Mikaele
Musgrove (ideally I'd make him play reggies for being an idiot)

I should say I have 0 confidence in Madge doing this. He already dropped Brooks last year and it achieved nothing...I don't know where we go from here but the season is over in a couple of weeks if he doesn't find an answer soon.

I agree with this team except I think we give Kepaoa a week off regardless as he looks injured and slow. Maybe hoffman a run or Cini.. BJ 100% needs to be dropped as he is offering nothing.. It will be very very unlikely the team option is taken up on his contract.

 

[Needaname]

For those that aren’t aware. Hoffman is not eligible this year or at least the first half.
Cini is out only backup option.

 

[Speed2burn]

BJ 100% needs to be dropped for Talau

IDC what anyone says, I would promote both the Simpkin(s). This team needs players that actually want to play for the jersey. And from what I’ve seen, these two have what it takes and are hungry.

I’d give Brooks 1 more week (yes I get it, broken record)

We’ll see

 

[TIGERPOWER]

Talau plays with so much energy and should be in the 13. Mbye should be in the 13. Drop AJ and BJ and have Talau and Mbye in on that side. Simpkin on the bench. Wouldn’t have Brooks in the team but that’s not going to happen.

 

[Tiger_Steve]

Reserve grade lost but apparently Simpkin was good. Maybe bench spot?

Laurie
Noffa
Mbye
Roberts
AJ
Doueihi
Brooks
Tamou
Liddle
Stefano
Leilua
Garner
Twal

Simpkin
Musgrove
Ofahengaue
Mikaele

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

- Worst Leilua simply has to go. He SUUUUUUCCKS.
- Mbye can't play hooker. He was horrible. Like really, go back and watch the game. Watch him at dummy half. Our attack fell apart before the first pass was even thrown.
- Jake Simpkin has to come on to the bench.
- Talau and Roberts are both right side centres. That is an issue. Maybe Mbye will go left centre.
- I think Stefano has a huge motor and with him on the bench we only need him and Mikaele to make up front rower minutes.

 

[Fade.To.Black]

Was going to post with seriousness but TBH, 4 or 5 blokes need CC time.
Brooks, BJ head the list. We are awful.
Throw 800k at Tupou for starters. We were getting out-jumped by 80 year olds like the Morris bros today, that is beyond embarrassing for our outside backs.
