Not sold on Rowe sorry, plus Simona has experience playing there in NSW Cup previously and his footwork and ability to take on the line are far superior to that of Rowe. We need some spark at the back and Simona is the best option for this IMO with Teddy on the sidelines. There's no salary cap issues bringing Lulia back into the centres either.

I think we need the third big man.

With Fulton coming in I would assume Luani would be the man to drop off. Promote BMM and roll with the rest unchanged.

In saying that Sita may need a week off and I have my doubts if Austin makes those 34 tackles of Luani.

It is a bit of a headache this week

 

[Tiger_Watto]

I agree with both of you.

I'd also move Simona to Fullback and switch Thompson one wider at Centre. This allows both Akouala and Fulton to play and bring BMM or Brown onto the bench.

The rotation of the Big Boys is what is allowing us to win games… Like for Like in this instance [yes I know]!

Luani can tackle all day and Austin can give much more attacking and 5th tackle options than Anasta. We lose creativity/gain defense at 9 and pick up creativity/gain defense at 6.

Braith had a poor game by his standards but he has been a rock all year.

Missing half the regular spine I cannot understand why anyone thinks Braith will get moved when Austin added great impact

 

[magpiecol]

Same team.

I'm nervous about having Rowe at fullback, but I don't want to see us fall into the Sheens trap of having two or more players out of position to cover one injury. Simona would be my preferred option to shuffle there, but then you lessen his effectiveness playing him out of position, and further weaken our backline by bringing in Lulia.

I'd take Moltzen back at fullback over Rowe on yesterday's form were Moltzen fit to start. I hope Rowe can learn to defend at NRL level in a couple of years time, but he was missing in action against the Eels backline yesterday. Just not ready yet.

I have no idea why you are dropping Lawrence for Lulia.

I would just keep Rowe until Teddy comes back no point changing around players positions at the moment I believe Rowe is doing his job hasn't done nothing really wrong. Austin and Luani should swap around during the game and just keep Anasta untill Farah back then bring Austin in.

Maybe cause Austin will provide more impact. :crazy Rather see Luani play hooker than braifff at 6.

 

[system]

The impact Austin provides off the bench seems better suited to our style this season and allows us to keep Braith who is a good influence on Brooks.

He was bad yesterday but outstanding against Manly. I think we all just hope for more of that type of performance.

When Farah and Teddy are back it may be time to re-asses the 5/8 options

I know it won't happen, and the team will be mostly as it was last week depending on match fitness. But I'd love…
