Your side v the Wobblers

[Krammy]

I too think there are players who could do with a rest - ala Harry Grant and possibly Douehi. The only problem is we are not in a position to take chances. We are fighting tooth and nail to make the finals. I don't think we can afford the luxury of resting players with the run home we have. Imagine resting these two players and getting beaten by the Warriors - season gone! Like some people on here have suggested, I'd have Brooks at 6 and Marshall at 7. And yes, Brooks needs to shadow Grant and Lucy Luciano for that matter. Both these players will create opportunities for him or other support players.

Playing Brooks at 6 and Benji at 7 would be as useful as making Nofo wear the 5 jersey while playing on the right and Talau wearing 2 but playing on the left. They are just halves with our current game plan, they share the same job.

I really hope Chris Lawrence is not in the 17, he is good defensively but cost us a lot of points in attack, he absolutely bombed a try with Nofo unmarked and killed several other opportunities by dropping the ball or holding it when we had an overlap.

After his last effort I had written Jennings off but he has to be better than Lawrence at right centre until BJ is back.

We don’t need to rest players
We ain’t leading the comp by a country mile ..
We need to make the semis

I doubt Doueihi gets moved. Need to use Mbye as the fullback when we go down the left edge, we’ve done it before wanna see it more often

1 Doueihi
2 Nofa
3 Lawrence (maybe even Jennings)
4 Mbye
5 Talau
6 Walters
7 Benji
8 Aloiai
9 Grant
10 Twal
11 Luciano
12 Garner
13 Eiso
14 McIntyre
15 Mikaele
16 Brooks
17 Blore

 

[JC99]

Fickle bunch here. One bad game from Doueihi and he’s dropped/moved.

It seems like a lot of people have forgotten about Mbye’s bomb catching ability.

Mbye is the tigers most hated man and one average performance from Doueihi and he’s first choice 😂 Doueihi won’t be moved. He’s our best fullback option easily

Sorry to say that Brooksy just didn’t do enough when he came on. While Walters was quiet, he does probably offer more at hooker than Brooksy does. I think we need to interchange Harry at some point.

 

[hodgo]

Hmm the rest thing shouldnt be an issue its like a 10 day turn around and madge mentioned rest for everyone.

 

[hodgo]

I also think douhei has been safe as and shouldn't be moved. I also think there are signs of life in mbye at centre.

I liken mbye to matitua from the knights. Neither ever get to play a season in a possy. Let's just give mbye centre and let him play

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Probably will be the most interesting TLT of the season.

Doesn’t say much about our options then.

Is Brooks in the 7 or 16 and am I assuming correctly Marshall is in one of them?

 

[TheDaBoss]

I don't think Madge is going to throw Asu straight into the game next week with only a week of training at tigers under his belt

Jennings is back as well. Asu probably won’t play this year which is fine he’s only 20

Could be the 1st bloke to debut before Apu is officially announced..

Pull ya finger out Dan..

Given it's the Warriors game, I'd like to see what Mbye offers in the halves - either that or give Brooks a shot at 6 with Marshall steering the attack.
