Ok we need Luke back ASAP hes perhaps our most irreplaceable player given who his back ups are.

1. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
2. Fusitua
3. Hiku
4. Kata
5. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad
6. Green
7. Shaun Johnson
8. Blair
9. Lawton
10. Afoa
11. Papaali (prefer Pulu personally so hopefully is back soon)
12. Harris
13. Mannering (doesn't play full 80 Blair to 13 when he's off)

14. Lino
15. Paasi
16. Sao
17. Gavet (may start in future but let's see how match fitness is)

 

[Inruin]

Sorry but Cook is not first grade quality yet.

 

[Tonbridge (Swanley)]

Sorry but Cook is not first grade quality yet.

Agree, but if SK say's he'll play, we need to try and factor that in!

This game was a fatigue fest, after the highs of the Dragons win. The team has been playing so far above their own expectations this season, and have been putting in so much effort that they had to run out of gas at some point.

They'll come back fresh after the long turn around.

 

[Defence]

No Bunty?

Hell yeah bunty!
Shit forgot him tbh- he'd be in my team based on hair and name alone. The fact he's probably our most improved player as well makes him a certainty.
I do prefer him off the bench tho.
Bunty in- vete out.

Within a 17 I think you need to have a plan B and C to cover injuries with players you trust to perform a role even if they are not the best at it. In past seasons Thompson got caught out covering centres and Tevaga got caught out on Anzac Day. It would of been interesting to see the plan if a halve went down?

1. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
2. Fusitua
3. Hiku
4. Kata
5. Ken
6. Green
7. Johnson
8. Gavet
9. Lawton
10. Blair
11. Papaali
12. Harris
13. Mannering
14. Gelling
15. Afoa
16. Paasi
17. Sao

Gelling covers your outside backs. Harris and Hiku step into the 1/2s and Johnson covers dummy half if needed.

Well nearly everyone picked a team that I would of.. what does matter is our defence has been shit for most of the games so far this year.. the wins takes everyones attention away from the very fact we are missing too many tackles and have been lucky to get away with it.. that is until the storm bent them over and showed them what defencless bitches they are.. (Resistance is futile) So whoever plays needs to be on to it, no hiding away, no jersey pulling and front up.. else Benji will be bending them over...

 

[xWarrior]

Mannering has to be play in the middle....

What’s Hikus Bench utility value for when Beale is ready?

 

[Run_it_str8]

10 day break is a god sent

Team needs a break after two months of hard footy

Mental fatigue can be a bit*ch over time

Rest is important

Physically and mentally

That being said

Clean out that roster

Gavet
Kata
Shaun Johnson
Harris
Pulu
Beale

All should be fresh from a good break

Line them up and roll them out!

10 day break will be great physically and let's see them sharpen up take the most possible from such a pumping by Melbourne.

Pulu's reportedly out till round 20.

 

[Run_it_str8]

And how far back has Cherrington dropped? Seems to have fallen completely off the radar.

Early season posts were that he needs to eat some taro and corned beef or pork bones, watercress and doughboys and about 12 pies and about 5kg of protein powder.

What’s Hikus Bench utility value for when Beale is ready?

Covers 7-1

 

[Panther]

Covers 7-1

Interestingly, Beale was used as a bench utility when the Sharks won the comp

 

[WellingtonOrca]

If SK is going to pick Cook and Tevaga and not Lawton, then he needs to start with Cook, a genuine hooker. and then replace him with Tevaga. not the other way around.

If he picks both I'd put money on Tevaga starting, then shifting to Lock when Cook comes on to spell a starting prop.

Do we have any intel on why Lawton may not be an option over this period?

As previously mentioned he was signed up for just such an emergency.

And he ran much in the reserves?

Requirements:
Clean passing
Darting runs
Tackle bot

 

[Gizzyfan]

i never go to these game for this fuckin reason. its a long fuckin way from west melbs to ami to stadium..booo fucken ho...

How far to the train station?

If he doesn't get used at all I'd seriously question the signing given we let Hingano go.

 

[warriors4eva]

im sure Lawton didnt sign to play ISP all year

another 20 rounds of reserve grade and he will probably bugger off

as for Cherrington, he must be playing Fox Memorial
