You’re fired!

Would just like to see the injured players back

All their replacements will drop back to reserve grade and we can move on from there
 
Drop Liddle and Godinet replace with McIlwrick and Taylor.

Drop CheeKam replace with MCQueen.

Drop Nofo and replace with Tui who (if fit) will be playing against his old club

I know it’s only our 3rd loss but Trumpy hates to lose. Who would you drop and replace them with?

Trumpy

Its worn thin now with Nofo.

I'm tempted to drop Benji for Gamble but I'd stick with him again.

When's Packer back?

I thought Sue was good today especially his second stint so he keeps his spot over Grant...
 
Well Trumpy, thanks for your insightful thoughts there .. I think we have been saying it all season so far, we are in need of a big speedy classy centre, and a decent line bending hard nose second rower .. which the clubs current doesn't have .. !! With only 27 top tier player on our roster out of 30 .. which we need to have by 30 June this year. I think our only hope is looking at the ESL for these players.

Who to drop and who to replace .. I think its time we had a look at Tyson Gamble, either at fullback or number 6\. Maybe bring that young Thomas Mikaele in as an off the bench impact player, he certainly is big enough.

I think Nofoaluma needs to get more involved with his running the ball back, and if we are going to stick with Fonua on the other wing he too will need to give a lot more .. maybe a decent hair cut for starters .. !!

We are missing the go forward and leadership of Packer big time, so when he returns he add the depth in the forwards. I think Pita Godinet is the one we drop from the 17 and just go with Liddle from now on.

Big fan of Liddle Geo. But I'm thinking we are doing the kid an injustice. He's small, inexperienced, and coming off a double shoulder reconstruction, yet we throw him straight back into the NRL. He's best served playing ISP for now, and we will reap the benefits of that later.

What does Nofoaluma have to do for you not to select him? His only saving grace previously was his dirty hit ups, but now he doesn’t even do that particularly well.
 
Would love Packer back as his quick play the balls really get us on the front foot, Also Twal we missed him big time to-day. Also Taylor in for Godinet please Ivan.

Well he made more Metres than every one of our forwards today according to NRL stats so I dunno…
 
I am curious about JJ Felise. He was a beast against the Cowboys in the trial and is now off the radar. What has happened? I thought that at one stage he would be a front runner.

Right, so you think he was good tonight?
 
Don't see where I said good…would still have him there over MWZ and Lolohea though or the other option suggested of MCK to centre and Naiqama wing but that's me..
 
The injured players have to get back on the field,especially Reynolds the attack is all over the place ..Benji is not up to 80 mins and it is showing not his fault…Packer thank and the Fullback/Wing (nofo) has to be sorted.I do not think the team is that far away being consistent just the injures to key positions is not helping ATM.

Big fan of Liddle Geo. But I'm thinking we are doing the kid an injustice. He's small, inexperienced, and coming off a double shoulder reconstruction, yet we throw him straight back into the NRL. He's best served playing ISP for now, and we will reap the benefits of that later.

The blokes he would be tackling in ISP aren't any smaller though. His game solely relies on quick PTB's and we gave him none today, he doesn't have the body type to make his own space physically to create opportunities for his runners. Was sitting there today thinking "once Liddle gets on we will run away with this game". He was innefectual due to our slow PTB the whole 2nd half.
