Time to let Moses run the side. I think he is the best option for halfback and because I can't see another option at 6 I would play littlejohn at five eight

Hate to mention this but according to JT , Moses has been running the team from the early part of last season.

I saw Kev playing DH quite a bit today, any thoughts on having Kev as a possible bench utility next week instead of JLJ?

I also think we should blood a new centre, maybe Tali, Leumuelu or Papenhuyzen.

I still thin we need to sign 1 more quality outside back.

Papenhuyzen is 76kg dripping wet and you want to blood him against the biggest side in the comp :crazy

Toni Tali is 96kg and 186cm
Cinnelly Leumuelu is 95kg and 190cm

I wouldn't mind either of them playing in our backline against Canberaa

Both are too raw and won't be able to man up in FG for 80 minutes.

Who ever stands either side of Brooks is going to be made to look bad!

Brooks rushed up in defence but Lawrence had every right to make the tackle on his opposing forward on the inside. The fact is even though Brooks' had a misread, good teams cover in defence.
 
Did anyone catch the ISP yesterday ? Noticed the late changes had Paseka in the secondrow - I'm wondering how he went ??

Also going to the storm so no need to waste time and effort.
 
1\. Tedesco
2\. Nofoluma
3\. Naquama - Only because we dont have other options
4.Idris - Our left side was 50 times better once he was on and he ran hard
5.Suli
6.Moses
7\. Brooks
13.Taylor
12.Aloia
11.Lawrence - but we need an upgrade in 2018
10.Woods
9.McIlwrick
8.Seumanfagai

14.Tim Grant - Missed him big time yest
15.Sue - back to the front row rotation
16.JJ Felise
17.Liddle or Ballin pending fitness
 
3 Tries bombed, with the tryline open and one of their tries involved a player who was about 5 metres offside, means despite the awful game we played, we really go down 30-20 to Penriff.

I'm not death riding quite yet, and don't think DRASTIC changes need to happen - yet. I just think some positional tweaks are needed to minimise the defensive issues.

1\. Tedesco
2\. Nofoluma
3\. Idris - Needs to stand up and be an 80 minute player - he's a centre for christ sake!
4\. Suli - Slight defensive tweak bring him one in - is a lot more solid in defence compared to Naiqama
5\. Naiqama - Chuck him on the wing - Suli has shown himself to have a good offload, and his size should be able to get 2- players interested and create issues.
6\. Moses
7\. Brooks - play him second fiddle, Give him carte blanche to take the line on, and give primary kicking duties to Moses.
13.Taylor
12\. Sue
11\. Lawrence
10\. Woods
9\. McIlwrick or Ballin/Liddle if fit - and 80 minutes.
8\. Seumanfagai

14\. Tim Grant -
15\. Aloiai - however needs more minutes than vs Penriff
16\. JJ Felise
17\. MCK

Idris and our hooker need to stand up for 80 minutes to give our forwards a chance against the monster Raiders Pack - who will also have big Dave Taylor coming off suspension, and Ricky would be odds on to put him into a team against us.

It's now time for our bounce back factor to kick in.

What about Sue??
 
Chee Kam definitely needs to go back to the bench. If the bench doesn't contain at least three forwards he needs to be dropped to reserve grade. He was one of the first to run out of puff yesterday.

Agree. He was quite good early but when he stopped, he stopped dead.
 
1\. James Tedesco
2\. David Nofoaluma
3\. Kevin Naiqama
4\. Jamal Idris/Michael Chee-Kam (subject to fitness)
5\. Moses Suli
6\. Mitchell Moses
7\. Luke Brooks
8\. Aaron Woods
9\. Mcillwrick/Ballin/Littlejohn whoever can last the game.
10\. Ava Seumanufagai
11\. Sauaso Sue
12\. Chris Lawrence.
13\. Elijah Taylor

14\. Tim Grant.
15\. JJ Felise
16\. Josh Aloiai
17\. Wes Lolo/ Chee-Kam if Idris plays.

No interchanging hookers or outside backs. Props and backrowers get rotated, everyone else is expected to go the distance or they don't get on the bus.

Whoops, I've put Aloiai in twice! :mrgreen: - Sue should be my number 12.
 
We don't have the cattle to make many if any changes, but as others have said we need four forwards on the bench, no centres and no make shift no9s.

Really even though the Raiders were terrible last week its hard to imagine our defence being able to restrict them from scoring a lot of points. As I said weeks and weeks ago our depth is very poor
