Either AJ to centre n Douhei bench or Brooks bench n Douhei five eight

 

[batboy]

This.

💯

I’d have Doueihi at fb in D (our end)
And swap with Staines in attack / good ball.
Probably Toa on a wing - or someone who can shift between centre / wing.
I can’t see Kenny coming back proper… been busted for 3 years now.

Or Doueihi to bench and coming on in the middle before half time…

And no Twal

After today Doueihi doesn’t deserve a spot anywhere. If you move him away from his preferred position he will have a sulk

 

[Todd Packer]

If you watched the press conference Sheens said he liked AD at fullback so he'll be there a bit more.
He also said he liked Wakeham at 7 with Brooks at 6.
He also refused to talk about Nof. so it looks like reggies for the Nof.

4. Doueihi - Hanging on by hens teeth, No doubt the only position he should play on a footy field but seems too lazy to be able to defend there all day. Tupou will be covering both their asses all game.
5. Tupou
6. Brooks - Until Rd 10 when Will Smith will be available

Seems spot on and the side that should have been named from Rd1

I don't know if he will have a sulk but where do you play him. I was thinking fullback but is he better than Staines or Laurie ?

Sheens said AD took control at the back and that's what he wants.

 

[Todd Packer]

It'll be fun watching Nof. kick stones in reggies. He had a huge sulk last time he was there.

I am sick of saying it but stefano on the bench. He was great today in his second stint, after forwards where tired. Bring him on after 20, FFS!

Do u think we could sign 8 new players before the next game because we ain’t winning with this no idea lot 🥴

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Based on the post match interview expect to see AD fullback, Brooks and Wakeham will be the halves. Nofo dropped.

Ken should be available but Tupou and Staines were good today and I would give them a crack.

I think it's his best position but did he take control when he dropped that ball cold at a critical time. Sheens says a lot of stuff. I reckon he gets 1 in 10 right.

 

[Harvey]

He’s no Wayne Bennett is he ? Sounds more like uncle Arthur

Yes. Blore plays well in the middle. Stefano plays well off the bench.

 

[Harvey]

Put Doueihi alongside him. They can point fingers and abuse the kids

 

[ElleryHanley]

If anyone saw the presser...AD WILL BE FB.

Sheens literally said it..."he will get more time there...he settles us down...he dominates the calls there..."

So, get ready for AD 1.

I just hope Stains is on the wing with Tupou...both way, way, way better than Nofaluma on form.
