Wholesale changes

[Deleted member 3518]

Doueihi should have a spell to get his legs right . I’d say his hammy tightness is due to his hammy working overtime to compensate for his dodgy knee/ankle. Chris got exposed on the weekend with a semi dynamic centre getting a little space.
Also the issue was the middle forwards. Twal had a bludger (rare for him) Clarke was horrendous , and I think Madge agreed as he didn’t see. Much time after the first 20 . Packer and Eisenhuth should fix that .

Smith with that pass to Jehrome Hughes.

AD looks like he is playing injured, Twal may have come back too early and Grant looks absolutely worn out and in need of a break. After many years of service its unfair to put Lawrence back in the centers and Mbye adds nothing offensively,defensively, goal kicking or leadership, sit him out his $15k per week its better spent for us if he isn't in the team.

Either start Newcastle game by blooding these young blokes or start with Josh, Grant, Mikaele, Packer,Lucy and Macca. Send a message and rough them up from the get go.

Did you watch Cini play in the U20s against Illawarra? He had Camroux and Scolari minding him in defence. One of the Feagai bros made him look awful in defence. I like him but he needs to work overtime on his defence.

Agree. The kid needs to learn how to tackle. He'll never play FG until he gets that right.

No, he seriously can't tackle to save himself.

So many of the bottom sides seem to be on the improve , we could mathematically still get the spoon

Pessimist.

Quicker we get Tommy to centres for next year and get Kei into the bubble the better.

Our younger ones need experience so we should bite the bullet now. These 2 are our best prospects.

 

[Moh]

I’d like to see Simpkin

same

i would like to see Liddle Return in fire form as well

I take it you're both giving up on making the 8 this season completely then and looking to the future?

Because Grant is far and away our most consistent, and dangerous player.

Agree that Tommy is a centre and a very good prospect at centre, would like to see him there sooner rather than later.

Time to blood youth with 2021 in mind. Tommy to centre, AJ wing and Mbye full back. AD to rest. If Twal is not 100% then rest. I would like to see Packer named as captain this week. I think he would inspire the team more got my respect when he took out Matterson.

 

[hank37w]

Matterson still out. Great hit!

 

[The-moP]

Just my team:
1 Mbye (Doueihi has no positional awareness .. and looks injured)
2 Nofoaluma
3 J. Leilua
4 Talau
5 Kepaoa
6 Reynolds
7 Marshall
8 Packer
9 Grant
10 Aloiai
11 Garner
12 L. Leilua
13 Eisenhuth

14 Twal
15 Mikaele
16 Blore
17 McIntyre

We need a big, strong and fast outside back .. William Kei .. ??

 

[Papacito]

Wholesale changes are ideal if you have and Andrew Johns, Laurie Daley and Billy Slater in your reserve grade team.

But if you're like us and have a bunch of inexperienced youngsters, throwing them all in at the deep end in a team that's struggling risks destroying their confidence and exposing them to serious injury.

At the end of the day, it seems like we just don't have the roster or mental strength to win or even compete ever week. No amount of changes can fix that.

If AD is in doubt I would put Benji to FB if AD is playing play him 5/8 Packer and Eiso should be back the new kid from the Rorters should get a run put him in the Centres Tommy T defence is still a bit suss but can stay on the wing Walters to the bench

People can call me a bad judge @Elderslie_Tiger and I agree with You regarding Tommy T....and I just don't get the positive comments commentators are saying about him....in my book he is a Plodder.
Also, we have to keep playing Chris Lawrence, and Benji on occasions until we get someone who is better to replace them.
After a quick look at the points table....I can see Us coming 2nd last if we don't win our next game.

 

[Newtown]

The club should be looking from this week regarding signing some quality players (if there are any out there).

Talau is very young and already better than Mbye on 20% of his contract. He is not a winger but there out of necessity. If we are going anywhere he has to play centre and nail the position. Mbye is taking us nowhere.

Agree completely with BJ back time to make some changes, I would actually Drop Mumbai out of the side altogether, he seems to find a reason to stay in, Look coach i cant play fullback but can centre, look coach not going well at centre, but i can kick, look coach not great at kicking but can delegate, look coach delegate did not work can go back to fullback............
If Madge can't see he is hindering other players development, not leading by example as captain, well to his own detriment.
