Winger for Round 1?

[Easy_Tiger]

hi apart from big lote the other wing spot is the only position worrying me a little we have options though who do you think? will there be a bolter???
mitch brown
geoff daniela
beau ryan
matt utai against his old club?
sam latu
junior roqica? i know hes meant to be a prop but so was tuiaki
ayshford i like him in the centres unless we play moltzen at centre with lawrence
faleula finau u20s i doubt would be a good idea i think sheens will use a safer option hes got talent though.
ratu tagive

Are all players fit? Who is in at fullback?
Personally it's down to Ryan, daniela and brown, but I reckon sheens will put brown on the bench, so I'm leaning towards Ryan if he's fit.

 

[Easy_Tiger]

not sure did ryan play in the trials?

 

[happy_tiger]

Brown I think good under high ball , reads defense well good finisher Ryan did not play in trials

 

[happy_tiger]

Latu's out for 4 weeks I heard

 

[derailed]

I'd go with Brown on the wing to start the game. McKinnon at fullback. Moltzen on the bench.

Then bring Moltzen on with twenty to go depending on the game situation, either into the centres or at fullback.

Brown on the wing with Moltzen on the bench gives us the best coverage in the backs.

Fullback goes down - Brown or Moltzen
Winger goes down - Moltzen to centres and Ayshford to the wing
Centre - Moltzen slots in
Halves - Moltzen

If we have two injuries in the backs then Ellis to the centres and reshuffle the rest as need be.

Bummer! Hope he recovers quickly. This bloke could be real good if given the chance this year.

 

[Balmain_Tiger]

id go with brown, he seemed the most impressive out of the wingers we have tried so far.

 

[pacey]

i rate ratu tagive, but his brothers better

 

[LaT]

I think McKinnon is a lock at fullback right now.

Honestly with Brown and Ryan out for all trials, Utai is probably the logical choice with the amount of game time he got in the trials.

GEOFF DANIELA #1

 

[Tiger_Watto]

Cant see Geoff Daniela #1 getting a wing spot Demps. If sheens felt he could be a potential winger, he would of got plenty of goes there last year…

Geoff is purely a backup option if either Lawrence or Ayshford get injured... But even then I wouldnt be suprised to see Jake Clarke gets first crack if injury occurs in the centres.

Lortay and Mitch Brown

 

[Guest]

Mitch Brown, followed by Daniela. Latu picked up an injury and Ryan has only just started running. Tagive will be in the NYC somewhere to start the season and Utai despite running the ball back straight and hard is too much of a liability in defence against taller, quicker outside backs.

 

[tigerbenji]

Brown for mine & moltzen on the bench, but dont be surprised if utai is on the wing.

 

[happy_tiger]

Would rather see Fitzy back than have Utai on wing I give you he is a strong winger but he can't move laterally and is shocking under high ball and gets caught out in defence Would be extremely surprised to see Utai there

 

[cunno]

Brown played well last year, if he has recovered from injury, put him on the wing.

 

[Fraze23]

It seems odd that Sheens would start Utai against easts as opposed to the others mentioned above.
Unless Brown, Daniela and Ryan were all injured at the time that would suggest to me that Utai may be the starting winger rd 1.
I'm for G Daniela or M Brown. Either of them wont let you down.

Beau Ryan at wing and Brown at fullback if they are fit , I was at both trials and McKinnon unfortunatly didnt seem up to first grade
