Your Side for Dragons Game

Oh god people calling for Lawrence's head for Simona or Nofoaluma. They are wingers at best and would struggle to defend as it is in 1st grade. Definitely should not be thrown in to the centre position. Reddy would be even worse. Other than the try Lawrence's defense wasn't even that bad. His go forward wasn't too bad given he didn't have much space.

Simona is primarily a centre and we need some speed in the centres

So we need more speed in the centres and nearly everyone is calling for Lawrence's head. The slowest centre in the game is Ayshford. He has done nothing for a long time. If he could read a game (and Benji), we would have had two more tries last night. Reddy was unmarked twice. Benji saw it but Ayshford did not. He really has to go. Remember Lawrence scored a couple of tries against Parra a couple of weeks ago. How may has Ayshford scored in the last two years?

Tedesco is a fullback not a winger. He should be played there. He offers so much more than Moltzen it is not funny.

IMO we need two new centres long term.

With Blair and Tompson set to miss a week each, I'll change to:
 
1.Tedesco
2\. Reddy
3\. Ayshford
4\. Simona
5\. Mr T
6\. Moltzen
7\. Anasta
8\. Woods
9\. Farah
10\. Buchanan
11\. Thompson (is suspended Akaoula)
12\. Blair (if suspended Pettybourne)
13\. Bell

14\. BMM
15\. Fulton
16\. Seumanafagia
17\. Sue

Marshall out injured so I have moved Moltzen to 5/8 to keep the spine in place plus a think 5/8 is Moltzen's position.

It pains me to say it but Lawrence is a shadow of his former self and there is no way we can continue to carry him anymore. Sorry but State cup for a couple of weeks at least. Simona deserves his chance.
 
With the suspensions I would be trialling Lawrence in the backrow this coming week and bringing in Simona to the centres.

Agreed.

I'd keep Ayshford and Lawrence though at this stage, Tedesco has to go to 1 and Moltzen to 6.
 
Injuries and possible suspensions are making this team very hard to pick. I'll leave it up to Potter and check back after 5pm. Less hassle that way.

Tedesco to fullback… Simona to the wing...Reddy to right centre... Ayshford to left centre...Moltzen to 5/8...Fulton to lock...Blair can visit some cousies in NZ and Pettybourne to start in the second row...

How about changing the other 5 positions you missed out….lol
 
B.Thompson is cleared to play next week

We will fight Blair charge and I expect him to get off

Fulton couldn't run at 50% on Sunday, so I highly doubt he will be right.

i agree with mtd , as much as we all know Lawrence is passed it , he won't be dropped by Potter, it's amazing how much this bloke has fallen from Grace.

Lawrence will never be same after hip injury and we are stuck with him for another few years
 
Assuming benji is out, Blair & Thompson clear to play…

Teddy
Nofo
Lawrence
Aysh
Reddy
Moltz
Anasta
Woods
Robbie
Buchanan
Thompson
Blair
Bell

Ava
Pettybourne
Akaoula
BMM

Thought Blair had a good game barring some penalties he gave away, but in his defence the refs were tough last night - gave away anything that looked sus.

On top on that, Blair should stay at lock. Fulton is off his game of late and shows nothing compared to others who put everything in. Fults always gives 110% and puts his heart and soul into it, but he's simply too small and too out-sized against opposition packs. Reserve bench or interchange for mine.
 
Benji is out- possibly for 3 months - early reports at this stage. Blair will go for 1 week. Thompson will be fine with early guilty plea. I think the best think is to move Moltz to 6 Teddy to 1 and bring in a winger. Times like this will either galvanise the side or they will fall away and finish well short of the finals.
 
Iam with smeg, time to get Lawrence into the forwards. At some stage he was always going to be a backrower,through injury its time to fast track that process.

For the people who are calling for Aysfords head must not be looking at the same game as me.I think this year he has been strong and on most occasions a handful for the other teams.

Potter has already said he won't be picking the boys out of NYC without playing some NSW Cup so boys like Siro/Nofoa would be unlikely to be named
