Taylor out

[Harvey]

We look better without him in the team imo, great bloke and a whole hearted player but other than being a tackling machine he adds very little.
We've never missed him when he's been out so nothing to worry about

Super big call.

First forward picked for mine after Liddle and Packer when fit.

So 3rd forward picked out of the 6 they select?

That's correct - but first before all the others.Lol

 

[WswWt]

I don't feel confident honestly. Having Packer and Taylor out makes out middle that much more vulnerable. Thankfully parramatta hasn't got a big pack. Still the faster those two get back the better.

Packer was running on Anzac Day training session.

Rowdy would be the 1st player I would pick…

We will miss Taylor in this game..

I Wonder if Rowdy could play 13 and CheeKam start in the 2nd row Alioia back to the bench ????

 

[larrycorowa]

We need the least disruptions possible

Wouldn't do this.
Mck is lethal off the bench atm.

I think Lawrence would certainly do well at 13\. However, his defensive combo with Luke this year is just too valuable to change. Maybe MCK to the right and Rochow to 13\. Leaving Alioia for impact off the bench.

 

[Monnas]

This is our worst looking bench all year (best if it was 2017) will be a good test for depth.

Grant
MCK
Sue
Godinet

It's pretty ordinary.
I'd swap Sue with Aloiai, Josh adds so much when he comes off the bench and I think we've been lacking that impact

Wow, I’ll have what he’s having….

Go back and watch all the games we've won without him this year and you tell me where he was missed, you can add Reynolds as well. Neither of them have we missed.
I'd go as far as saying Taylor is one of the most overrated players on this forum.
Just my opinion.

No one is going to convince you - you have made your mind up.

Not worth the time trying.

We could really do with Packer and ET right now. Even if Twal wasn't injured and could play instead of Grant.

 

[Tigerdon]

I prefer Hooth at 13, than ET. It gives our side more punch through the middle.
ET is a better 2nd Rower.
2nd Rowers seem to have big games then go off the boil. Either through injury or fatigue. It a hard position because they are constantly defending against big longer running hit ups or doing them themselves for the best part of 80 mins..
Rochow was one of our best for the first 5 rounds, as was Lawrence. Both won't be able to keep that up all season. This is where ET fits in as well.

That would make him the third forward picked :wink:

 

[The_Patriot]

Becoming our very own Josh Dugan. Needs to get in the field and get his spot back.

Honestly MCK is OK in short burst's but seeing he is our only back up for the 2nd row it gets pretty scary and is a big risk if someone in the 11/12 jerseys goes down with injury early in the game
