I feel like Farah or Littlejohn needs to be in the squad. If Moses is tackled on the 4th, then that's our only kicker/playmaker out. Unless Rankin can fill in that spot but his past performances says otherwise

The only change that I would make to your team is JJ in for Griffin.
I just think his size is needed against the Cows.

I'm not a Robbie fan but we need him with Brooks gone. Dene can give us a good half or so of work while Moses and Rankin settle before Robbie comes on to stabilize and add another dimension.
I'd prefer Heleta to JAC (always have) especially with him leaving next year.
Thought I saw Cherrington in the 21 in the sheds pre-game and would go with him (mainly so we don't lose him next year) though if he's too far behind and Robbie's still injured I'm sure we could get an exemption to play Liddle.

I'd really like to see Cherrington and Liddle share the duties next year while we work out who to retain, like a Segeyaro/Koroisau system Penrith had a little while back, or Hodgson-Baptiste to a lesser extent at the Raiders. Gives them time to adjust to the speed, physicality and intensity of NRL without burdening them with a full 80 as the sole hooker on a young, dynamic team.

I have tried to make as few changes as possible. Rankin might have to be used as an alternative kicker in general play. I think Lawrence is a better option at 6, mainly due to defensive cohesion. Rankin/Littlejohn are a big risk.

A good week on the training track should improve execution and organisation that was lacking against eels.
 
Thinking about it more I would probably have mck on bench due to his ability to cover a backline position.

The alternative is jac in to wing, rankin to 6, Moses to 7 and Farah to bench. I'm just not sure jt will go with this.

Yeah that would be a safer bet but I'd just like to see Griffin get his debut, especially against the Cowboys given he spent some time there but couldn't crack first grade.

ET offers much more as ball playing pivot than Rowdy and will help that side of the field with his defence. Teddy to also play some second receiver.
Lovett has been ordinary and needs a spell. Replace with Edwards as a reward for his efforts last week.
Rankin does not seem to be improving and should go to reggies. Easy replacement is JAC.
Sirro comes back a ball playing lock. Defends in the middle needs to do 40+ tackles though.
 
One change. JLJ for Brooks. I would like to see either a hooker or MCK on the bench (likely in place of either Lovett or Edwards) but would not put money on this.
 
I'd bring in Littlejohn for Brooks, and Cherrington for Lovett.

If we're going to continue with this ridiculous Rankin at #9 experiment (i.e. no hooker on the bench), then I'd have MCK instead of Lovett, as at least he can play a bit of centre and back row.

I'd be tempted to drop Rankin for Hunt (assuming JAC is unavailable due to 2nd tier issues), but I doubt that'll happen. Certainly don't want Rankin being shifted into the halves, where he'll have a lot more possession to butcher.

Lovett can have a break, the last couple of weeks he has looked a bit flat and Edwards defence against the Eels was impressive.

Yep, great team Willow. Agree with Edwards for Lovett.
Lovett needs to get on Seek and look for another job.
 
With Brooks out for at least 5 weeks would have Farah off the bench.

Would go for Rankin at half back and JAC to wing.
 
No brainer to bring Farah back this week, he would be a man on a mission in probably his last ever outing at his beloved LO. Big match,big occasion and big match player, Taylor would be bonkers not to cash in on all the emotion, and how many more bums would be on seats….or should I saw grass
 
Working on the theory that Farah is not available to select.
