TEAM LIST Vs Dragons [round 18]

[Flippedy]

Thank God Twal is back, will it be enough?

We should know not to believe 100% this will be the run out side. Very possible Tavana comes in for Makasini, most likely Afoa starts for Pole and hopefully Latu starts at 6 with Madden on bench. No need to blow any gaskets until 4:30pm final team submission on Saturday.

There’s no reason to realistically think Latu will come in for Madden. Madden has been named in the halves for half the season and Latu hasn’t come in once for him. No reason this week will be any different.

Solid team. Great to see our Lebanese legends back.

AD and Madden have formed a pretty good combo so I'm happy with this.

For mine, Latu isn't anywhere near a starter. His defence at times is terrible.

 

[weststigers]

I’m convinced Latu has run over Benji’s dog at this point.

Another great take as usual Keith.

Madden has been in firsts all season. Why you'd throw Latu in when he has had no reps there would be stupid.

As much as the forum wants to see him play there, it doesn't make any sense in the context of the season.

This is a far more sensible comment.

Plus we are 3-0 with AD & Madden as our halves this season.

Very true.

I hope then that Latu doesn't get any minutes and gets to play NSW Cup the following day with Javon.

Latu is a far better defender than madden and future halves prospect. Madden while improved is a second grade halfback. Latu is a genuine running 6 and would slot in great on the left with Luai out.

Maybe Benji is trying to ease him into first grade and there’s more too it by why not take the same approach with Mak who is clearly out of his depth

Where is samula ????

Correlation does not equal causation.

I honestly don't think so .....I hope so

 

[Halbrowne61]

Where is samula ????

Obviously still recovering !

 

[Halbrowne61]

People on insta saying he had delayed concussion symptoms.

Question is that do you believe that or did Benji said have a week off( with a supposed injury) and we’ll go with a previously successful combination.
I’m a born conspiracy theorist !

For mine, Latu isn't anywhere near a starter. His defence at times is terrible.

Latu had one game in the middle where he missed a couple of tackles. He has a strong defensive game when he is in the halves. If you think that Latu's defence is not up to scratch your not paying attention. I really am getting sick of the Madden thing, hes a fill in half back that should be used when Doujie , Luai or Latu are out. Madden is a good goal Kicker but he is a weak and Lazy defender , a jumper grabber who couldn't make a break if i was marking him.This was the ideal time to use Latu. Really pisses me off. Sorry in advance if you think this is harsh , but its the wrong path.

 

[Chunk]

Luai is a loss, his experience is very important for a gmae like this.

I think the game is too important to have Latu start, Madden and AD have shown they can handle things okay.

And being young and injured I believe Maka needs a shot of confidence, if a few things go his way he may start to show what he is capable of.

 

[hodgo]

Jesus this place will be burnt to the ground if we lose.

Also all the luai haters have got their wish will be an interesting week

 

[jadtiger]

Todd Smith the ref and our old mate Klein in the bunker with his stupifying decisions.I can barely wait for the meltdown.

 

[hodgo]

The massive positive over the last few rounds has to be Sukkar feel like he has taken some huge steps in a position we are very thin in

He certainly looks decent squad depth which is something we sadly lack.
