Your team vs Warriors

[sydneytiger33]

we're not winning this so might as we go for the jugular. Latu in the halves, AD to center and finally play Sam in the middle. I don't care who they bring in to replace him in the back row. It can't be any worse than what it has been.

 

[Merlot]

Jovan and Latu nowhere to be seen , blows my mind all the complaints about rushing the kids thru and crueling them ,but when 1st have hit the wall , lets rush the kids in to save a sinking ship

Our semi professionals to tuff it out,don't send the lambs to slaughter

The Dragons kids have been going alright. Sure it's been rocky for them this year but at least they are trying things. Why aren't we?

good team on the rise there , if they get the right person ,in

 

[Odessa]

good team
move A D to centre
like Andrews on the bench
Roberts is still injured i think

I think he played on the weekend

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

I think he played on the weekend

he did mate

 

[Buttface]

I saw on the news theyre hopeful its only a strain, not torn...maybe wishful thinking

I will be thinking wishfully then.

I’m getting pretty good at, had lots of training. Every winter weekend for a decade. Although nothing changes so maybe I’m not that good?

🙏 Api has a quick recovery 🙏

 

[Curly_Tiger]

Surely we see what we’ve got in the run home given we’re cooked
Gotta see an AD 6, Latu 7 combination
Play Luai in the centres or lock, he’s blocking our halves development and is only a one year left player now, he can still motivate and enthuse from a different position
Rotate the two young hookers
Front row of Twal, May & Pole
Let’s see Saukuru
Maybe dome Schuster cameos before the season’s done
Toa’s leaving so bench at best
Any we aren’t keeping the same, bench only

 

[Blooey]

Is it time to experiment for next year? Give us some hope for the future..

I want to see either Latu or Andrews (Or both) in the halves this week.
Haywood 20 minutes off the bench?
May or AD tested at 13?
Skelton in the forwards?

Honestly if we don't shake up the team and try something new, I don't think I'll be watching this week.

Yeah I heard that too. They said it may only be a strain which would result in little to no time off at all. 🙏 It's time now to bring Latu into 6 or 7 (We've all been asking for this for weeks now) but Benji will no doubt name Luai 6 and AD 7, Madden will be 14 (and get some time) and Latu 17 (and get sweet FA minutes again)..Samuela F should play this week which will be handy. Maybe find a spot also for Junior Tupou

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

AD will not be moving to centre, not in the short-term anyway.

He has trained in the halves all pre-season & season, was given the responsibility by Benji of leading the team in this role & was killing it there early in the season.

Yes we can all see Latu is our long-term solution but Benji won't change the AD & Luai combination unless injury forces it.

Personally I doubt we ever see AD in the centres again. Hopefully the evolution will be to lock.

luai won't play in the centres, AD has before
future is latu and Andrews in halves

there's no universe where Api plays this week. Best case scenario, we're probably looking at a month without him. No pun intended but I really hope that hope isn't in the lineup this week.

 

[Yossarian]

Bula
Turuva
AD
Tupou
Skelton
Luai
Fainu
Twal
Sam Fainu (if fit)
Sukkar
May
Lanyon
Bunty

Sio Fainu
Madden
Pole
Seyfarth
Murray
Toa

 

[jstigers]

No Makasini this week, please let him play cup for the rest of the year

 

[Flippedy]

Everyone putting Latu at 7, you know it’s not gonna happen right? It will be Luai and Doueihi while ever they’re fit.

I didn't watch the Dragons game and don't plan to watch it, however could there be an argument that AD is playing busted and should just go and get his shoulder sorted ala Taylan. Sounds like he was ok in attack, however very ordinary in defense. Last week (which i did watch) he did look to be very conservative in both attack and defense, especially that fend that can be so effective. If our season is gone, there is no use having players that are carrying injuries that need operations/rehab, especially if we have players to replace them i.e. Latu.

Yeah same as Taylan. He'd be strapped up to the hilt. I have no doubt his shoulder affected his attempt on Valentine Holmes when he made a long break. I think while the club is a mathematical chance, it's up to the player. Another 2 losses and AD and Bula should be booked straight in.
