fair enough, ive just got a feeling against better opposition beale doesnt create enough to really threaten, i understand the defensive element, hikus pros are feeding the wingers, and his carries are strong. I agree keep beale but i think hikus window is closing soon and if we ride with beale and realise we need a more attacking centre then we might miss out. Maybe i jut miss him somehow despite his stupid play.

That 50 game mark for Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has come up out of nowhere, good on him.
Pretty happy with that lineup, was impressed with how Blair went last week.
This has to be the healthiest our team has been at this stage of the season in a long time, with only Tohu Harris Harris to come back in to a full strength 17.
The other thing that came to me yesterday was how many of our players have solid finals experience and either made or went very close to making Grand Finals :
Gerard Beale
Adam Blair
Blake Green
Tohu Harris Harris
Peta Hiku
Shaun Johnson
Issac Luke
Simon Mannering
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
For a club who hasn't made the Finals since 2011, having those players with big game experience in key positions is such a huge asset.

And also terrible defence, defence wins titles and Hiku has zero defence.

Yes but we do have a lot of young forwards who have never had a taste which scares me. They could just be shocked into submission

This like every other game hinges less on who is picked and more on what attitude and mindset our team applies.
With a killer aggressive smart dominant attitude we can win comfortably.
With a positive attitude we can win.
With a lazy we deserve the win without earning attitude we will get shat on like how the gold coast shat on us.

Well according to SK , he has Hiku on the bench for a few reasons.
Like Anthony gelling was earlier in the year and Beale was for a game or two.
It's Injury cover for the backs - Kearney isn't a fan of playing backrowers in the centres, it's giving players an opportunity(albeit sometimes a small one.) And it's also about putting some pressure on our incumbents , probably one of our weakest positions on field.
Given most teams usually just play another 9 at 14 I'm all for it. As we have jazz , which gives us 3 forwards and a utility back on the bench.

Is Kata opposite Holland? If so, I think this is one game where I wouldn't mind if Kata just runs at Holland all game. Worst defensive centre in the game IMO.

If that's the case, get Kata to start the set and run Ken at him.
Random fact
The dogs pack have the most post contact metres out of any team this year.

Hiku has to stay in the 17...can offer plenty if someone is having a shocker.forwards or backs. Pita is a big kid.
True but Lawton covers more positions and has a lot more intensity. 3 tries in his 2 games. they guy really deserves a go replacing jazz and 3 forwards on IC imo. what we have always lacked is what players like Lawton and Rapana have, playing every game like its your last intensity.
Imagine with Maloney out, the Knights do us a solid and down Penrith and we beat the doggies handsomely. Then tigers take care of Dragons. We have a real chance of making the 4, but sharks and dragons should win their final 3, which means its going to come down to FnA which is not in our favour. who knows both panthers and storm could lose 1-2. again all those close losses this year plaguing us in september. we really need the offensive prowess to finish off teams, too many games scoring zilch in the second half.
I think we should do the doggies by 20 but given they are all out to avoid the spoon and how the warriors lose games the should have covered, its a hard one.

The Aussie style. Our forward pack only has that when the leaders are on the field. That means we could take anybody on in the mood or get dicked if we are on the rags. The upside is with only a few games to go we could upset.

Watch from I think the 28 minute mark. I used to have a lot of time for Brett Kimmorley as I viewed him as a fair commentator but I think his comments about us are way off. It was a nice, controlled game from us against the Knights. I also didn't think SJ had a bad game- his kicking game in particular was instrumental for our field domination. I think sometimes Aussie commentators make cliche comments about us because they just can't be fucked to watch our games.
