Bench
Big Mak

Swap wingers, Skelton better on left and Turuva on right.
To’a on his last chance.
Bite the bullet and give Hunt a chance, we need some size and grunt !
There’s probably several other changes but we’ll start there.

 

[weststigers]

Apart from Makasini and Hunt, there's no one else in cup that's going to make a difference.

Sukkar can match it with the lesser teams, but he is reserve grade standard as is Seyfarth. Zero attacking penetration.

 

[groucher]

Bring in Bula, Samuela, Makasini and Hunt for Tuituopou, To’a, Bird and Sukkar/Seyfarth (can’t carry both).

Does it matter, we will lose anyways

Are you free to give the team a motivational talk during the week ? It could be just what they need !!! 🤣

Deckchairs on the move again?

 

[Ron Brodrick's Spirit]

Last night's game was over on Tuesday when the second rowers were picked.
Seyfarth 6 missed tackles, 2 ineffective
Sukkar 4 missed tackles, his usual poor post contact metres, his usual mid 4 seconds to play the ball (totally unacceptable for an NRL forward), his usual overall non contribution to the team.

We really have no other second rowers but I'd still pick any of Saukuru, Eli or Rahme .
They all have defensive deficiencies , but at this point picking that same second row again would just be conceding the game.

The best coach ever created by mixing Cleary, Jack Gibson and A.I couldn't create a functioning attack with only 11 players and 2 edges like ours who the opposition can ignore.

 

[JB9918]

We most well try a few things to plan for next year.

Makasini is a left sided player but I think he adds more at Centre. Wing we probably have enough depth. Give To'a a rest. He looks busted from his form a month ago.

Mapapalangi is the bench utility we need to replace Bird going forward. Give him a crack.

We are short a right sided back rower until KPP arrives. Play Doueihi there to have him on the field. Can rove in attach & let's him defend more on an edge.

I would play the below team.

Bench rotation would be move Doueihi to 13 when Twal is off. Sukkar to R back row. Pole for Si Fainu as an impact forward. Seyfarth when needed. The key is to have 2 of Twal, May & Seyfarth on at the same time to keep the middle tight. Pole & Si Fainu has weaker D.

Api can play 80 against the Dogs smaller mobile pack.

Big Ron, your stats will not change if you don’t fix the halves problem. There is no direction on the field. Players are guessing what’s next or they are just waiting to see who the next bloke willing to get in and have a run. Our centres or half can hold a line in defence and shoot out which exposes the bloke next to them and they end up defending one on one. There is a lot to fix. Does not help when your full back is out who is also key in communicating to players where to be. We need consistency and that means less chopping and changing of players. It will be a big defensive game next week.

My thought too.
5 hit ups and a kick. The dogs will handle that easy. Doesnt matter who plays

Tbh no point in planning for next year with the same coaching staff. The players will still look crap.

... interestingly Makasini’s Newington team was beaten yesterday and from all reports the Joeys backline cut them to pieces 🤔

do u think we lost that game cause of our defense ??? i dont care if we have 30 miss tackles a game if we have no attacking structure but take a hit up and kick we will never get anywhere
benji the problem and until he changes the style everyone is gonna suffer including the players and fans
