Your Team v Slimey's Eels

I fully agree with you. He also turned the game vs Manly with some big charges. But god his defence concerns me. As we compress in, he is just slow laterally and to turn. We have been very lucky this year not to conceed alot more tries, where Fonua has been found out but something has saved us. For example:

- Warriors try where Marsters makes a try saver
- Bird knocks on vs broncos
- Obstruction no try vs broncos
- Mansour no try vs penrith where his foot went out by a inch
- Not to mention the dogs made a lot of line breaks down his side in the first half, 1 where they scored on the next play etc.

That is one of his main issues you mention his defence, he looks slow to move, out on the wing at least it will offer us a bigger body, and someone who can contest a jump.

Bloody Nofoaluma should have stayed on his wing..
 
if Marshall is back still keep four forwards on the bench
1\. Mbye
2\. Nofoaluma
3\. Fonua
4\. Marsters
5\. Thompson
6\. Reynolds
7\. Brooks
8\. Twal
9\. Farah
10\. Matulino
11\. Matterson
12\. Garner
13\. Eisenhuth
14\. Packer
15\. Mikaele
16\. Aloiai
17\. Chee-kam
18\. Marshall
19\. Momirovski
20\. Jennings
21\. Taylor
 
Every team has lucky moments where the opposition are denied/bomb a try.

Fonua has played well enough and deserves his starting position on the wing.
 
Mbye/Marshall
Fonua
Marsters
Jennings/Marshall
Thompson
Reynolds
Brooks
Twal
Farah
Matulino
Matterson
Garner
Eisenhuth

Packer
Aloiai
Chee-kam
Mikaele

Taylor
 
Based on Thursday night’s game, I’d swap Twal and Aloiai. Twal has lock written all over him.
 
Didn’t Mansours foot go out because Fonua pushed him while covering 2 attackers. Good defence I say. Go Weststigers!
 
I rewatched some of the game and re packer meters I did notice that we were mostly defending on his first stint hard to get meters while defending
 
Its a nice touch that Ferguson is essentially out of the side for the Easter showdown. Will make life for us slightly easier…
