I don't know if that back four would work long term, but they are our best four. Probably best just to find them all spots v the Cows. It eliminates the risk of a Talau / AJ shocker letting the Cows into the game.

Blore is a round 10 proposition - wrist healing slower than expected.

Everyone needs to realise that our draw was one of the hardest in the comp we weren't going to beat Roosters, Raiders and Eels and we almost beat Eels just those last 2 trys made it look worse but my team would be
1. Laurie
2. Nofa
3. Roberts
4. Cini
5. Talau
6. Doeuihi
7. Brooks
8. Musgrove
9. Liddle
10. Tamou
11. Garner
12. Leilua
13. Twal
14. Mbye
15. Stefano
16. Simpkins
17. Ofahengaue
18. Simpkin

 

[JC99]

Wouldn't be surprised if there's no changes, but I would be a little disappointed. Mikaele and AJ the two who need some reserve grade for me

I think that it’s too early for Madge to chop and change this starting side and I’m pretty sure he’ll stick with this group in short term anyway.

For me however we should start thinking seriously at our deficiencies at 3, 5, 11 and 13.

We lose with that backline. I like JTJ but he is NOT the guy you want for dirty carries and kick returns. You are using a Ferrari as a ute.

Why do we insist on wingers doing those dirty carries? We have 5 props in the 17. One hardly even gets any mins. We have a back rower in Garner who had six carries. Surely the bigs could do those extra meters? We have a big pack nowadays.

Not sure if you realise, but if they kick on the 5th or last tackle and kick it 40m down field, it is one hell of an ask to expect our pigs to be back there to hit it up on tackles 1, 2 or even 3. Even bigger ask to do it all game. Your wingers need to be able to be a prop on kick returns and when the pigs need a break.

Did you watch todays game? Fergo & Sivo?

Yes, I do realise that mate...but ours are def not props on kick returns. Ferguson and Sivo are much more physical.

JTJ could carry it as well as ours...

It is a matter of pick your poison. AJ and Talau could potentially lose you a game v the Cows. It is not like AJ's hit ups are so impactful they balance out his hands.

Much better
Plodder Tamou on the bench is where he should be ..
When Joffa and Stefano came on we looked heaps better ..

 

[AJ1]

Depending on injuries I can't see many changes however it would be nice for Simpkins to make his debut against his former club however I don't know at whose expense.

 

[rihannafan1]

At least have some fresh blood in the 18-21 at worst. Don’t wanna see MCK, Packer in the 21. Would love to see Simpkin, Tuilagi and others given a chance over dead wood

Unsure if Tuilagi is available for selection until Round 10 as he's a Dev Player.

Who is the best centre in the club, for mine its JTJ.

That’d be correct actually, yeah scratch that then

Id like to see the two hookers on at once, reckon that could really give us some zip. and I think its time for Cini to get a gig and BJ back.TT and AK have had their chance. And big Joffa on garners edge, I reckon he would go great with some space and really stiffen up the defense.
