The halves problem

[weststigers]

Haywood played flegg round 2 and was off the bench for KOE yesterday. I dont think hes ready to be coming off the bench in the NRl next week. It has to be Hope.

Fair enough
Hope is poo. So Murray is my man and attempt to play Api for 80.

Don't know why but Charles Murry's name keeps popping up

I am looking forward to having an actual halfback on the field, and hope that Madden can make a good enough go of it to make a genuine claim for the spot, short or long term.

Doueihi has really picked up his game, both defensively and effort wise in general as shown again against the cows, but he still isn't a half that can run an edge consistently, let alone a team for mine.

I’m hoping Luai and Latu are the halves pairing going forward. From the small amount of game time I’ve seen from Latu, he’s and out and out halfback and a really good one. Doueihi is the perfect fit to be a ball playing lock, imo. He has the size and the skills. I’m hoping Benji will go with this, of course it all depends on if Latu can ever actually stay on the field for more than 10 minutes.

When Did he show himself to be a great 7? I’m seeing a good 6 or 13. However I hope your are right and I’m wrong

I'm really intrigued to see a 6 Latu Fainu & 7 Jock Madden combination once Latu is match fit.

This is probably the most traditional of halves combos we could put out in terms of the skills & assets they bring to each position with Latu on his preferred left side & Jock right. Jock's game management to free up Latu's running game & ball playing skills.

A Samuela and Latu edge, I like it and hope that the younger gets a run of games to show his wares.

Bula is like the Hotel California...hes checked out,but cant leave!
Hes sending a clear message that he doesn't want the club to take up our $900k option next year..
Dont worry young man.theres .no chance of that happening

Maybe he needs the warm smell of colitas.

no point needling up or damaging Latu for a slim chance of a win

Clbnt disagree more
He's a highly paid 1st grader,and we need him to front up assuming he's fit
What are we saving him for..the GF?
Give the Warriors a test..not ready to fold my cards in round 4

So it's Madden and Latu in the halves,makasini and Herbert in the centres..
And we've got a reasonable footy team with ppl playing in their familiar positions
Winning team..will give it a crack

A brittle kid will not change the outcome of that game , he could be on twice as much ,no need to be rushed back .
