Team selection 3 legitimate backs in tonight's side

[Phoenixtigers18]

:bash
I know injury played a big part but we had 3 legitimate backs 1\. Moses 2\. Simona 3\. Austin and 4\. If you count that waste of space lulia.
Honestly how do we expect to beat the storm with that side and I'm not bagging Potts because of 2nd tier bullcrap la la la but we have to come up with a far faster side if we are miracously to make the 8.

Yep. Cant wait to see Potter go.

2nd tier cap exhausted.

the end.

He could have chose Rowe instead of Akaoula though despite that…

 

[tigerbill]

Its not just this match. I groaned each time he included Bwaith, Galloway and Lawrence.

Potter doesn't have much to work with though. First graders are dropping like flies
😢

 

[Black_n_White]

we needed the strength of Akauola to try to deal with Koros power…

If Potter goes so should Payten & Kidwell. As for Richards, Galloway, Lulia and Halatau this should be their last year. The big four off the bench are now known as the big fizz. Sironen is a bludger. Simona showed last year he is a better winger than centre. Don't worry better things ahead, next year

The cupboard is bare…Tedesco Nofoaluma and Lawrence make a huge difference Ithought ot was a good move playing Akauola on Koro

Well , we probably didn't too many other options Geo

Next option was to play Potter at fullback

Just a reminder Mick , I'll be in Townsville and I'm packing the boots

You just pack a tent with a number on it for me to wear as a jersey :wink:

1\. Moses - Didn't really get a chance to express himself
2\. Lulia - Not close to a first grader, useless performance
3\. Simona - Tried really hard, but with no momentum it was always going to be difficult
4\. Halatau - Had no pace, got burned by Chambers, Slater. Better in second row
5\. Akuola - Awesome effort for first try, he's tough, but no winger. Good kick returns
6\. Sironen - Nothing really to talk about
7\. Austin - Tried hard to spark, but we didn't have enough chances to create pressure
8\. Woods - Once again, easily our best. Kept rolling on, got great offloads. Top player
9\. Farah - Tried his guts out as usual, but what can one player do?
10\. Galloway - Ran lots, but no real oomph in his runs anymore. Congrats on 150
12\. Thompson - Once again, tried, but got dominated by Bromwich
13\. Blair - Awesome game from him, ran hard and worked hard

14\. Sue - Sorry, didn't see much from Jesse
15\. Taupau - Silly penalties, drop balls, not his finest hour
16\. Gavet - Ran with purpose, but his tackling technique needs work
17\. Ava - Some solid runs

We tried hard, but without most of our first-grade team, execution was poor, and opportunities were limited. Storm were far too good, and there kicking game and control was pretty awesome. Extremely dissapointg, but I reckon we can win in Townsville!!
