I rate Matty Ryan highly willow - but that is simply sending the wrong message to the players who won us the game last night!!

If Ryan deserved a run - he should have got it last night - not after a win!!!

Ryan is great in attack - but not as dominant in defence!!
 
Just looking to go with a bit more variety in attack off the bench and not lose too much size if Fifita has to start and another forward is brought in. Realistically the only change Sheens will make will be the addition of Gibbs and one of the Schirnack brothers missing out. Personally I'd like to see what Ryan offers if Gibbs is still sidelined.

Not sure which Schirnack brother, havent seen enough of them. Utai has went alright but I hate whenever a team is looking at kicking to his side and not too sure how comfortable Ashyford is under the high balls. I dont like a centre having to cover for a winger. I would like Brown to be given a chance but I expect Utai to be there
 
How has Brown been Playing??? Has he justified a recall??

Plus we need confirmation on Ellis.

Gibbs on the Bench for first Game back IMO.

Ellis is no chance, he'll be back around round 5 or 6 hopefully with Fulton.
 
Would it be worth playing Moltzen on the wing and putting Utai on the bench? from what I've seen of Utai he is a tough customer and could spell the backrowers saving Ayshford from having to leave centre and move into the forwards. I don't think Utai will be dropped at this point as he has played OK so its just a suggestion to get Moltsen more game time and not drop Utai as I think Sheens will stick with him.

Two backs on the bench against the biggest & most mobile pack in the comp? You're taking the mickey aren't you?

Assuming Gibbs is back:

1\. Wade Mckinnon
2\. Lote Tuqiri
3\. Blake Ayshford
4\. Chris Lawrence
5\. Matt Utai
6\. Benji Marshall
7\. Rob Lui
13\. Chris Heighington
12\. Simon Dwyer
11\. Alan Schirnack
10\. Bryce Gibbs
9\. Robbie Farah
8\. Keith Galloway

14\. Todd Payten
15\. Aaron Woods
16\. Andrew Fafita
17\. Jason Schirnack

Match their size. Wouldn't be risking an underdone Moltzen, off to Magpies/BRET for a full 80 mins.

Exact game to use Moltzen in wear their big forwards out and use little guys to tear them apart late
1Mackinnon
2Tuquiri
3 Lawrence
4Ahysford
5Utai
6 Marshall
7 Lui
8Gallaway
9 Farah
10 Gibbs
11Dwyer
12Fafita
13Heighington
14 Moltzen
15AShirnack
16Payten
17 Woods
 
Gibbs hasn't played for a while so I would have him start from the bench.

Leave Fifita and Galloway as starting props and Payten into the second row with Dwyer. We need Payten's experience out there. Gibbs and Payten can be used to replace each other.

Schirnack and Woods in the prop rotation.

Bench would be Woods, Gibbs, A Schirnack and Moltzen.

I agree with the suggestion of swapping Moltzen and Utai to give Moltzen more match time plus he should be better under the high ball. Utai to be used in the scrum as he is hard to tackle.

It's his ankle.
 
1.McKinnon (improved from RND1 & knows exactly the role a fullback should play but his lack of speed is worrying)
2.Tuquiri
3.Lawernce
4.Ayshford
5.Brown (Utai held his own against the warriors but its only time until someone targets him)
6.Marshall
7.Lui
8.Fifita (I cant see Gibbs coming back for this one)
9.Farah
10.Galloway
11.Dwyer
12.Moors (I would prefer someone with size to combat their forwards but i did like J Shirnack)
13.Heighnington

14.Moltzen
15.Woods
16.Payton
17.J Shirnak
 
1.Wade Mckinnon
2./Matt Utai/MItch Brown
