TEAM LIST Round 3 vs. Bulldogs

[Camel2281]

Word is AD is out, so whats that mean for the team?
Wakeham 7
Brooks 6

Who gives Api a 10 minute spell?

Rua?

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

Yoss nailed it.

Interesting team. AD and Brooks still named as our starting halves but Wakeham on the bench. I really hope they play Wakeham as a 7.

To'a and Tupou in are big pluses.

The pack looks pretty good but look at that backrow. It's a bunch of kids.

No way we can score 3 tries and keep our halves pairing. One of them should be dumped

or brooks can slot into 9 to give api a breather, doesnt do anything in the halves may aswell just pass the ball off the mark for 10mins

Or moved at least. Wakeham is named on the bench though. He might get plenty of time in the halves.

 

[Telltails]

Absolutely but at least I think CS will try and catch on the full, unlike Laurie who backs away.
Hopefully plenty of practice this week with Doueihi trying to emulate Burton and Staines and wingers catching.

I think any full back is suspect under bombs if the chase is good and the higher in the air the better opportunity to get to the FB. It could be a long afternoon for Charlie.

Sulking or injured ?

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

A 1 , 2, 4 & 5 of Bula, Staines, Naden & Tupou is a seriously raw but FAST backline . hope it happens sooner than later.

Maybe we can run em off their legs ! The old quick hands to the winger, Sounds like a plan, print 35 copies and get down to training tomorrow.

1. Bula
2. Staines
3. Naden
4. AD
5. Tupou
6. Brooks (playing for a contract)
7. Wakeham (until a recruit arrives - hopefully one from left field sooner then later

that would be a backline with new dimensions

 

[Alltheway]

Wakeham to 7, brooks to 6. Doueihi to 4. Stefano to bench, twal starting. Bateman to bench

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Matt Burton bombs heading Charlie Stains way with JAC and Kikau chasing them down ..

I’m more comfortable with them going to Staines than Laurie.

Great now have out the KOD on Staines he will drop them all.

Must be still recovering from the dropped ball caused by leg cramp.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Sheens said Bateman had only been in the country a few weeks and was still learning the plays, what bloody plays. If we have some, then all the other players are still trying to learn them too, especially our halves

Exactly their is zero science or set moves happening based on the 1st 2 rounds.

Maybe he is only up to 100 of the 200 ways to drop a football basics at training

We'll see they all fluff em even the best of them - Latrell got plenty of errors in his game but plays in a winning team. I think Laurie to date has been mostly safe under the high ball but continuous losses and a few labelling him unsafe he now carries the tag.
Hope for his sake Charlie steps up and has a beauty

 

[old_man_tiger]

I was really worried about the Bateman signing. Now I'm scared he is on the extended bench, I'm not convinced he is ready. Is he truly bad enough to make our 17 this soon?

Agree main issue is no cohesion ,everyone doing everything ad -lib and individually
We seem like an uncoached rabble Yes No Bloody Plays !

 

[KingRobbie]

Is that for real or a polite excuse for being dropped ?

Think it’s real as Bula wouldn’t have been allowed to be included in the 22 if there wasn’t an injury.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

My trepidation to the line up this week is based upon the premise that all the changes for the next game are genuine as a result of performance and not the obvious - injuries. Aside that its a bit of relief. Change is always good.

 

[upthetigers]

Stef needs to step up. Been really disappointing to start the season.
