Team vs knights

Did people picking Toa watch him yesterday? In a team who won by nearly 40 he was the worst player on the field by a mile. Easts looked like scoring everytime they went near him. Id bring back Nathan Milone before playing that fraud in NRL
 
The panic for changes after Round 1 is overcooked.

We won the game everywhere but on the scoreboard (run meters, discipline, missed/ineffective tackles, line breaks, etc).

The bottom line is we dropped too much ball, at the wrong times and the Titans took every, half-chance they had.

That team largely gave us the foundation to win that game, but we didn't execute and generally played poor. It's a shame, but a single poor game is not grounds to overhaul a side.

Gee if that’s not a HATE selection, I don’t think I have ever seen one . Nofa had a very good game and brooks at leased tried to run the football
 
1. Charlie Staines - we can't persist with Laurie playing like that. Staines looks much more reliable to me.
2. Junior Tupou - unlucky not to play last week but gets his chance with Staines moving to fullback.
3. Brent Nadan
4. Starford To'a - I have no idea why he wasn't the first centre picked. Him or Kepaoa are our best centres. Nadan is good but he has a lot of mistakes. Talau needs time in reserves or time off to get into the game.
5. David Nofoaluma

6. Asu Kepaoa - big mobile and hard working. He isn't a long term option but we need to try something. Brooks to play reserves and prove he is ready to make the move back to first grade.
7. Adam Doueihi

8. David Klemmer
9. Api Koroisau
10. Stefano Utoikamanu
11. Sean Blore
12. Isiah Papalli
13. Joe Ofahengaue

14. Jake Simpkin
15. Alex Twal - misses our on the starting team where I think he is best playing long minutes but the other 3 guys offer more impact.
16. Fonua Pole
17. John Bateman - if he isn't ready chuck Laurie in as a utility to cover everywhere in the backline.

The gameplan needs to change from one where we are passing the ball a lot to one where we are running over the top of them.

Ordinary team, for starters I don't think Laurie should be defending in the front line, talk about being targeted
 
Geez if we lose this game the media will be giving it to us.
And the bloody supporters OST, lots of hype but it’s a results driven business.
Cut out the stupid errors, just do the fundamentals correctly and convert pressure to points, basically what we didn’t do yesterday.
Don’t think there will be major team changes this week.
Everyone to get a second chance.
