4. Tommy T
5. The Hoff
6. Douhei
7. Grub
8. Aloiai
9. Lidsy/Simpkin
10. Shrek Packer
11. Blore
12. Luchie
13. Twal (if out, Blore 13 with Garner to 11)

14. Mbop (only to give young-uns a breather)
15. Big Mickey
16. Sheisenhuth
17. Macca
Sheisenhuth lacks sting in his runs, he seems to just jog it up, which is getting frustrating. Feel like if he's in the side, it's in the prop rotation. Like dude, do you realise how big you are?! Felt the same about Siro when he was with us.
Didn't mind Hoffmans debut. He's a big unit like Tommy T. Souths targeted their kicks at him and I think he only spilled one. His inside men did him no favours that night though, so I reckon he should get another crack.
Shrek has to start and lead with his agression in the softening-up period.
Mbop is really just there for utility value and to give whichever young hooker a spell.
I'd possibly start Twal on the bench and ease him back, but either way, he's a lock, alot more athletic than Sheiso.
If any back-rowers are unavailable then Garner would come in.

Does anyone recall a captain (of any team) being dropped for poor form? I can't think of one.

I reckon if Mbye is dropped (I don't think he will be) the media will start (undeservedly) going after Madge.

When Benji was dropped some clueless media commentators just couldn't believe it. If he drops Mbye too, who really deserves it, they'll carry on that he's lost the plot.

I’m not into picking sides BUT as long as the side doesn’t have mumbie Marshall brooks in it I’ll be happy liddle madden and Reynolds in

 

[Hangonaminute]

The dogs pack will destroy us.
I could argue that they have better backs too, got more speed than us.
Not confident at all

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Two matters, why has Taylor been forgotten? If Grant is out and Liddle playing, don't we need relief?

Secondly, why dies Leilua deserve a walk up start? Seems to me he should be filling sandbags and carrying them up over sandhills for the remainder of the season.

Taylor isn’t NRL standard anymore in my opinion. Just isn’t good enough to be in the 17

 

[Aceshigh]

No to Garner , maybe ET to play hooker when Liddle needs a soell

 

[Curly_Tiger]

Nofo to fullback, Talau back to the wing, Mbye centre
Brooks at 6 and Douehi at 7
JRey at 9 for the 80 so we can stack the bench
Pack: Twal JRey Packer Luciano Garner Aloiai
Bench: Clark, Mikaele, Eiso, Blore/McIntyre

I like it. Brooks needs to be properly dropped, although I'm not sure how he comes back from that with no reserve grade to play in and build out of. His move to the bench hasn't had any impact whatsoever and in fact it looks like he's regressed even further.

 

[Blocker1963]

Was it just me or did M'BYE look disinterested and was just going through the motions, its time for him to go and have a look what he needs to provide to the Team, share Liddle and Simpkins in the role. Also Brook's confidence is shot, he has the ability and skills, just needs consistency and confidence. Benji was burn't by PONGA so many times, and showed what a target he can be now. The next changes need to stay in place.

Taylor brings defence ... Might not be a flash player but could of used him v Knights..

He also Brings a lot of penalties and 6 agains and absolutely no attack. Eisenhuth is just a bigger better Taylor

Exactly right, Taylor is a liability.

Well there are very few players deserving to be picked after the Knights.

Reynolds gets a gig again - Drop Benji maybe he might realize after being dropped again that its time to hang up the boots this season, Madge will give him a swan song closer to the end of the season.

Mybe - To the bench or dropped completely make the hard call Madge for yoir own sake, other players don't respect his effort.

Brooks - 50/50 did not see enough of his game.

Lawrence - deserves a spot on the bench at least.

Packer - Only forward that made meters.

There are some suggestions, glad i am not the coach not much choice.

Liddle started running again two weeks ago I think it was. I don't he'll be anywhere near ready.

I like this, just think the spine is going to be as is. Mbye played 80 in the middle against the Knights. So might be looking at Reynolds instead of Benji. Like the bench!

Only forward that made metres ??.
That made my day
