Should we play 4 forwards again

I see the logic at times with having a back on the bench but don't understand why the bench warmer can't get a run…Maybe brown on the winger with Beau on the bench because Beau (knows heart )can replace Heino for 20 in the forwards at least.. he has done that not that long ago so you then get a full working bench.
 
Sheens will probably keep the same team as this week, if Lote was due back and Idon't think he is, then things would change. What is the go with Fifita is he injured or something else does anyone know?

Fafita = needs heart transplant!
 
Would Mitch Brown prefer to sit on the bench for 80 minutes or play in State Cup?
PS. I wouldn't put Ryan in at lock against the Dragqueens…......pummeled!
 
Have a feeling we may see Fifita back for this one.
Saints have an awesome backline thats probably why Sheens used 4 forwards last time, so that we could win the ruck and cause havoc up the middle.
Wouldn't be surprised with the same approach.

Last time we played the Saints we played four forwards . Will Sheens go with that option again ??

i hope so but doubt it. 3 forwards on the interchange were enough against manly but if we had an injury in the forwards during the game then 3 forwards might not have been enough. we dont really need a back on the bench when we have fulton in the side who could easily play in the centres or halves

use the same line-up as in match for manly.

bit reluctant to change winning combo

true you wouldn't wanna do anything to disrupt Brown sitting on the bench getting splinters for 80 mins
definatley a contributing factor to the win

i would rather moors or murdoch on the interchange instead of brown.

It was interesting to see Moors and Waters warming up with the team before the manly game.
 
Yeah I would have 4 forwards.
Moors
Pearn
Fifita
Woods.

Ellis, Fulton & Farah can shuffle into the backs if struck by injury there.

You wouldn't give Groat another run Bug?
 
Groat should get starts against some lesser sides in the last 5 games. But I would give Pearn a 'taste' as the Fonz says.

Dragons will try and bash us. Pearn needs to be put to the test. He will come up trumps. Groat is not ready for the big games.

Fifita needs to be put in. Fifita's mental application and commitment needs to be put to the test by the Fonz in this game.

If Fifita wants to play in what might be his last semi finals campaign for a while, he needs to toe the line and start performing like we know he can. So the Dragons game will be a good challenge for him.

No room for Groat this week in my opinion.

Fair call. I thought he stood up fairly well against Manly excepting the two penalties he gave away, but he wanted to get stuck in which was great to see. Fifita should only get a run if he has pulled his finger out.
 
My bench would be Woods, Groat, Payten @ least he runs straight & Moors, Fifita worries me as he runs to much side ways. If Fifita ran straight i would pick him but Sheens will know what to do.
