I appreciate Joffa has been great at lock this season but does he have the ability to play Second Rower with Hastings at lock allowing Kelma to play State Cup.

if the rumours are true about Kimmorley moving our best player in Joffa to the front row in order to accommodate three halves then he's in way over his head. Brooks was poor on Saturday night. not doubting his effort but he needs time in NSW Cup to fix his glaring deficiencies. Doueihi is our long term option at 6 and should be treated as such.
as for Hastings, while he's been poor these past few weeks it's more to do with our forward packs being dominated as opposed to anything he has done personally. it's going to be a long 80 minutes on Sunday.

My opinion is that he is a lot better in the middle. He has also been our best player this season.
I wouldn't move Joe O from the middle.

Agree. Every time he was moved to second row last year his defence was absolutely horrible.

I feel silly asking this question, but what is our biggest problem again?
What a load of crap 💩, that’s the best our forward pack has played all seaso they hit hard and often , yet Hastings had nothing , but the same crap 💩 keeps coming out that brooks is to blame , AD the big suck went missing the whole game , yet not one person was critical of his piss poor efforts .
Maybe try this as a problem , the coaching from Madge and now noddy is pathetic, all we do in attack is one out hit ups , every now and then we do a backline move then it’s put away . If we had a coach with more balls to install better ball movement we would play a lot better .
The 1st thing I was taught in coaching was u got to work the other teams defence while u got the ball it tires them out so they can’t re group as quick to attack u , we don’t do any of that , again the COACHS failure.

Just out of interest what are the requirements of a player to be a successful modern day lock and a modern day second rower.
Is a lock a ball player and/or a third front rower? Needs to play 80 mins?
Does a Second Rower need to have lateral movement and have speed and power to break the line and set up tries for Centre and Winger?
Who in your opinion in the current competition is the best examples of a modern day lock and second rower? Needs to play 80 mins?
Locks: Yeo, Murray, JT, etc
SR: Kenny Bromwich, Feilese Kaufusi, Nanai, Luki, etc

It's basically a sure win for us. We could play whoever. My wife and son have already said it's just like a bye.

Even if they all played for us, we woud lose. There is something special in the Tigers jersey.
Cast your mind back, a few weeks....
The club had us believing Brooks is an out and out 6 and it's his optimal position where he can play his natural game.....

I know - typical of the tigers to give us a glimmer of false hope!
Now I'm not saying he is the best the club has at the position, but after his two try assists last week I think he might be a better centre than a 6 or 7!
*doesn't necessarily mean he is a good centre either...just better than he is as a half. 🤣
