Your Team Vs Rabbits Round 9

[JC99]

Tigers fans have a really bad habit of trying to put halves and second rowers at centre. Either Talau or Hoffman will play there I would think, we can’t afford to have MCK, Benji, Brooks or Lawrence at centre.

McIntyre looks like our only other forced change so would expect packer to come in but Blore is a chance.

Other changes Madge MIGHT make is dropping ET or MCK but with our limited forward depth at the moment wouldn’t be surprised if it all stays the same

It’s not that anyone wants benji at centre, I certainly don’t , but I just worry about whether 2 rookies might be overwhelmed . Still one of them has to face Gagai , who only plays 3 good games a year , and it’s not for Souths

I reckon a rookie still has a better chance at defending well compared to Benji or a second rower. Hoffman or Talau centre is our best option.

11. Leilua
12. Garner
13. Eisenhuth
14. MCK
15. ET
16. Clark
17. Blore/Benji

If Leilua is out Lawrence to the bench and MCK to start. Rabbits dislike hard running teams And have a weak bench so I’d start with Aloai and Mikalele up front.

I could see this game being helpful with Benj on the bench for spark and also kicking as Latrells positioning is not great Marshall’s bombs could be dangerous in this game.

Please! MCK?
Should not feature anywhere near our starting side and neither our bench 4.
He’s had his chances and just brings ZILCH!

There’s no one else to play wide Lawrence is done.

 

[ElleryHanley]

MCK at center v Jimmy The Jet and Gagai etc will be an absolute slaughter. He does not have speed to chase or feet movement to stay in front of them.

 

[TheDaBoss]

Anyone see the reserve grade 9 a side match before the main game ?

Yea I would like to know as well

Was it played before the game or was It done someplace else

 

[WT2K]

Daily Telegraph: "It's expected Hoffman, a centre, will get his chance on the left wing with another rising prospect, Tommy Talau, shifting to right centre"

Good if they go with Hoffman but I think i'd keep Talau on the wing. He's been great there.

Yes jenko can play left..... left right out that is

An oldie but a goodie.

What about Matherson Johns to replace Bj looked handy in the trials

Not in the 30, so he can’t unless special compensation to play him is given. Can’t see that happening.

Chee Kam hasn't shown much at all this season. Better off with either Walters or Blore at 17.

 

[walter]

Good luck with Hoffman in the centres James Roberts could cause him all sorts of trouble cause I don’t think Hoffman would beat douehi in a race

 

[bbobb]

Picked Walters in the centres. He seems quite versatile and has defensively sound. I really like what I have seen of him amend seems to be a footballer. MCK if that doesn’t work.

Rusty to come back for some size and impact off the bench.

Benji to come off the bench toward the backend of the second half to steer us around the park especially if it’s close. I thought he would have been useful against Panthers.

1 - Douehi

What ever the side is, it needs to have Marshall at 6 and starting. Reynolds, if at all, on the bench. The rest I'll leave up to wiser heads than mine.

Every head is wiser than yours if you think Benji should be at 6
