Cini won't get near FG unless he learns how to tackle. Tannous will be lining up in SG Ball and will probably step up to Flegg once Ball finishes. And its "Simpkin".

Stand corrected professor,Cinni will no doubt have performance staff working on his tackling and its been 12 mths since he played.Tannous i think is now old enough to be upgraded and i think we need him,

Tannous won't be rushed and if Cini hasn't learned to tackle by the age of 20 he never will. One of the worst arm grabbers I've seen.

Cinni needs to learn to defend, before you let him anywhere near the NRL.

Speed bumps don't work, we just got rid of one.

I think Tuilagi is the smokey.

Could Madden play in the halves in Round 1?....leaving Mbye at fullback? Not sure if Madden is ready yet but for the sake of not moving too many players around it would be good if someone could slot straight into 6 for Doueihi.
I think fullback is just an important position as 5/8 so I’d be keeping Mbye there.

Kepaoa may have had his eyes fixed, but this photo does not fill me confidence when he is under a high ball.


Maybe maybe not...I think that Mbye will play 5/8 in the trials and possibly Noffa and AJ share the wing f/b roles ...not sure..when AD comes back I think we will see changes as well as stability once Madge gets the positioning right...

He has the wrong coloured boots as well ...you'll never catch a bomb with that colour

Need to start thinking about the backup plan for fullback beyond Mbye. If he drops bombs as regularly as he has in the past he won't last a month there.

I would much prefer a kid like Madden who has played all his football in this specialst position then people with limited form or experience, give the kids a chance now and then,

Correct, but the Sheens syndrome infected a lot of people here, instead to replacing ‘like with like’, they want to reorganise the whole team??

I couldnt agree more,for all Sheens was a great coach and won us a premiership he couldnt stop trying to put square pegs in round holes.We all remember the Johnny Cronk episode and his refusal to change and his throwing small back row forwards into prop.

I'm afraid BJ is not in my side until he starts playing 80min top disciplined footy, Mbye the same, he needs to be given a set position and perform there, his downfall is his versatility which I feel for his frustration. I know everyone is going to shoot me down but Twal was a disappointment for me this year, he replaces any player in pack except hooker that is under achieving. Liddle is there if he can get his body looking like a first grader.

No to Mansour, Kepoa at Wing instead or if Laurie does not come Kepoa at FB and Momo on wing,.BJ and Jimmy centres'.Douehi suspended so Madden 5/8.Liddle at 9 Simkin on bench,this would give us the speed we have been lacking out the back.

I agree Harvey,as the old saying goes If you keep doing the same things you will get the same result.Mbye and Dueihi have not worked, time to try someone different,.I have not seen Simkin but the wraps given say he"s billiant in attack and i hope he gets a run,Madden also appears in clips to be dangerous,although others hear do not think so.The only option is Kepoa at FB he has to be an improvement,at least he can beat a man.

Kepoa hasn’t shown he can take bombs... more often drops them.
Mbye is not as bad as people make out.
