Your side to take the Eels

[kiwitiger]

The love affair with Simona is somewhat scary… He has played 1-2 good games at Centre his whole NRL Career. The Bloke is a Winger!

Simona is a MYTH…

Agreed. Simona does not run the lines of a centre. In fact his head would be on the chopping block first if we find a decent centre, before Rowdy.

With the young kids coming through I honeslty can't see Halatau (out injured) playing much more first grade this year, Farah is a 80 minute player and old Dene who is a club legend doesn't add much punch when carting the ball up while the youngsters seem to be keen to run through a brick wall at present.

 

[Defiant]

Picking Lawrence over Simona as suggested above is laughable imo.

Simona is better in absolutely every facet of the game hands down.

Myth lol. His working his way back from injury to boot. Lawrence has had 4 years to do that.

 

[Milky]

Simona is a winger, being realistic our best backline is…

1\. Tedesco
2\. Simona
3\. Naiqama
4\. Nofoaluma
5\. Hoeter

1\. Tedesco
2\. Nofa
3\. Simona
4\. Naiqama
5\. Richards
6\. Moses
7\. Brooks
8\. Woods
9\. Farah
10\. Galloway
11\. Sironen
12\. Lawrence
13\. Taupau

14\. Liolevave
15\. Seumanfagai
16\. Sue
17\. Akoula

I think Lawrence can really make it as a wide running back rower it's time to bite the bullet now rather than later as his days at centre were always numbered…hard work is not something he lacks but pace on the far edges is these days

I also think that bench has a lot more punch.
Farah can play 80 and I think we can get a good rotation out of those guys...we don't need to carry two small back rowers

I'd also only play akoula for about 10-20 minutes ...he runs fearlessly and would lift us when tired...but he's s lazy defender when he's puffed

A lot of people picking Liolevave in their side v Parra. He was dead-set poor in his first game. He came on fresh and looked like he was exhausted after 2 mins. He dropped a ball and missed 2 crucial tackles. Hell trundled up with the ball at half Galloway speed. I wasn't impressed at all with his first game. His performance doesn't effort justify displacing any other back rower who has played so far this year or even Akoula. I hope he has a lot more to offer and it was just a bad game.

I don't want to seem critical. It was his first game. Just wondering why so many others are picking him? Is he a gun in 20s?

It won't happen because Lawrence will keep his spot. Nofo is a must for mine but he might get another week in reggies. I think he's our 2nd best outside back after Tedesco but he's been out a long time.

iam with u he looked like he didnt care to much and really needs to lift his whole tempo.

 

[Tiger_Watto]

personally, I feel Liolevave's style doesnt suit our structure.

If we want him in the team, we need to adjust the game plan a little, or look at other options.

He is a brilliant talent, but not all players will suit every teams structure!

Yeah with all the wraps he's been getting, I must admit I was expecting a lot more from him the other night. Put it down to first game nerves I guess.

It annoying everyone is waiting to hear whether nofo or sirro infurred and they post a press conf of Ava on WT website. Give us the information we want.

Hopefully Nofo is ok. He'll prob be a couple of weeks away from 1sts anyway (fitness wise). No point rushing him if he has an injury concern also.
