You have Fulton, Sironen, Halatau, Sue, Tedesco and Farah all missing who deserve to be in the side.

*Farah for Luani is a no brainer
*Teddy for Rowe is another no brainer

This leaves Fulton, Sironen, Halatau and Sue fighting for a spot. Before tonight I would of said Fulton for Akoula is an easy decision but is it really? I thought Akoula outplayed Fulton today. This will really be tough for Potter but it is better than having few players to select. Can not wait till the back end of this season with a full team!
 
Can't see a spot for Moltzen either .

Although he may end up at the same club that takes Benji .
 
Moltzen will be let go - he'd be taking up cap space - although modest, would go to topping up younger talent
 
Fulton takes a lot of ball playing pressure off the halves which is a big advantage.

Sita was a beast though you have to be mindful Parra's first two trys came through misreads by Sita
 
The first try was all Lawrence. Hayne was simply way too fast for him.

Sita made 10 tackles and missed 7 - I don't think he will take Fulton's spot any time soon. He was good with the ball but a player needs to defend too and he made that stupid mistake with the kick

My full strength team
Tedesco
Nofoaluma
Lawrence
Simona
Richards
Austin
Brooks
Blair
Fulton
Sironen
Woods
Farah
Galloway

Taupau
Gavet
Sue
Seumanufagai

Bodene is unlucky but if he isn't starting you don't need him on the bench

You can't drop Bodene on current form. I rate Sirro but fact is, he hasn't played a game this season and is going to need a few games to get hit timing and match fitness up. At this stage he has to come back via State Cup and then earn himself a bench spot.

Akauola like most newbloods into FG will miss a few tackles. I suspect this kid is a fast learner though and will work on this aspect of his game. Nothing wrong with his front on defence, it's the 1 on 1 reads out wide where he's sliding more which caught him out.
 
With the exception of Farah and Teddy nobody is a walk up start on return from injury

We have to have Fulton back however don't know if we can carry Austin on the bench. But we need some creativity. Then again we may just of unleashed Brooksie. Watch this space :sign: :sign:

I don't think Potter will ever have to worry because we always get injures and there will always be slots for someone to walk into there is always going to be 4 or 5 players injured
 
It is hard to replace Boedene. Fulton has played well year in and year out. Give him some rest, we have a good replacement whenever there is injury. With reserves like that, we are a chance in the finals.
 
I know Thompson doesnt have a lot of fans here but i credit the guy .
This year he has brought a lot of energy to the team.
He is one of the first to be the "in your face defender" and he chimes in with the carries.
He may not make the big yards but it surely would inspire and encourage teammates to have a non-stop attitude.

-Molzten need to hurry with recovery, he has no place in the current team lineup
-Sue, well he will push for his spot when fit
-Dene, we all know he can do special things, great spirit. Similar to Thompson

Not injured but
-BMM seems no chance with the way the boys are tracking so far
-Patterson in the same boat

Incorrect, a defensive line moves like a chain, Lawrence rightly or wrongly jammed in, regardless, Richards needed to do the same thing and he didn't and that's what left the space for hayne..
Pat needed to respond better

Farah and Teddy will come in to the team (Obviously) but Tbh if the team is going well why change it? Nobody else is a walk in start.

If Pat jammed too you dont think Hayne would release a winger into the gaping hole? Lawrence jammed of his own accord, didnt have to, didnt react to the play, and all but decided Haynes hand for him. Chris turning like a road train doesnt improve the situation either.

I have been getting a minor chubby watching Lawrence adjust his offence to suit his capabilities of late, he has been good… but he is jamming in off his own back, not working with the line, put some absolute bone rattlers on because of it but its a flip of a coin whether it comes off or not.
 
Tedesco slots into fullback.
Fulton to the second row…

Maybe Sirro on the bench.

Austin needs to be #6
