Best team we can field. When Reynolds returns I’d move him into 6, Benji to the Bench, Liddle to 9\. ET to lock and Eiso to NSW cup.

Agree with all of that.

Ok, so if this is our best now, or close to it. What happens when Reynolds is fit. Can we carry a 2nd 5/8 (Benji / Josh) on the Bench ?If so, who drops off ?

No we can't, Benji drops back to ISP, ET covers Liddle.
 
there is no way josh will be ready to play 1st grade in the next 4-6 weeks, have a look at his last effort when he played he was blowing like a storm after 10 mins. if IVAN does not give him 2-3 games in ISP then i think IVAN is not as good a coach as i have given him credit for. for all benjis short comings he has us at the top end of the table, and with out the refs robbing us we could have 4 extra points.

Don't think Benji would be kicking on early tackles without Cleary's okay and it's happened for a few games now. Has never been a part of his game (to this extent) so must be a reason - controling where the opposition defence plays or something.

No rochow. Yeh thats fair enough., Hes been quiet last 3 weeks or so. Put Ailoia in. Looks good to me.

not a chance of happening , ivan dropped aloiai for a reason, plus rochows defense is better.

I thought I read somewhere that Rochow has a fairly high number of missed tackles.
Could be wrong?

I agree,
He’d have been in reserve grade by now if he was not being told to do it,
It’s fine at the right time; but it has to have Ivan’s backing for it to be happening as much as it has been.
Can’t see any reason for it though.

Rochow gives away stupid penalties and adds little in attack. Eisenhuth, well that s been discussed but he is totally useless in attack.

A tad harsh

Eisenhuth throw Taumalolo on his backside on his own last week there are not too many payers that could do that.
Yes he is a bit of a plodder in attack but always draws 3 defenders with him, and normally has quick PTB.
