Expected that side although I'd also like to see Chee-Kam get a run.
 
Would have liked to have seen Dene in the second row with JLJ at hooker…i just think Buchanan is a waste of space, especially when the Titans have a few good forwards
 
Buc was a the bench against Warriors but JT didn't put him on. So effectively we played with 16 men.
Woods did something to his forearm in the last quarter of the game. Maybe it Woods is not fit. Ava starts and Buc is on the bench. If Woods is OK Buc is 18th man and Chee Kam plays of the bench.
 
I can cope with Lovett in the 2nd row after last nights performance but Buchanan is a terrible option off the bench.
I really hope that Chee Kam or Griffin would get the spot. Both offer much more versatilely off the bench with Chee Kam covering outside backs as well as backrow while Griffin covering all options in the forwards bar hooker.
I feel with the footwork of Griffin and quick PTB, that Griffin would be a handful.
 
people are too quick to judge buchanan. he hasn't played a game this season and whenever called upon he's done a decent job. let's not forget, he's only 23/24 still.

i dont think he's lazy. in fact i'd say he makes more of an effort to make tackles from marker than woods.
 
Chee kam must play with Siro out. Buchannon is slow and has no impact.
We have enough power in Ava & Aloai off the bench. I would rather see a young player being blooded in the front row.
 
You know you are doing it right when all that you can complain about is a Bench player who may get 10min max is high on the agenda…

On a real positive note great to see 9 of the 17 are genuine Local Juniors 10 if you throw in Deneo....Compare that to nearly all the other sides and it is a fantastic achievement especially against the Bred not brought Dogs with duck egg...

Yeah I would have thought like-for-like. Buchanan does not play the same role as Siro.
 
Of course we will take an 18th and 19th man when we travel interstate

Won't be surprised to see Griffin travel with the side as well

Sue to the back row and Buchanan to secure the middle of the field could be a good move , we have heaps of impact and I reckon if Sue can isolate Taylor he could create some headaches

Yeah but is there added weight when he is named at #14?
