Centre next game

[Bates]

Why not go with the Bears FB and leave the backline intact?

[Easts75]

Suaalii has looked useless in basically every game at centre, offering zero in attack and less in defense. As soon as he went back to the wing he has found his best football. Moving him back shouldn't be an option

[Jacks Fur Coat]

What about Sandon Smith at fullback ( Robbo has said he can play there ) Keep Joey in the centres, put Sam Walker at Half and use The Hutchinator as a back up for Brandon

In saying that I doubt it will happen

No.

Not the time to play shuffleboard.

No.

Not the time to play shuffleboard.

Agreed. It's one of those games that we SHOULD win (though the Tigpies just had a win) so long as we don't fark around.

Robbo pretty much confirmed that Manu will play during his presser (noting most have probably guessed who'll play FB). Granted. IMO we just need find a centre (not a winger from the opposite side of the field or a half/utility who's been performing just fine) and move Manu to FB.

The less changes the better.

Jaxson Paulo has been playing centre in the reggies. slots straight in for manu.
If we use jnr Pauga Trent will switch sewarrlleeeee to centre. and weve all seen how that works.
or plan C is to use swarlleee as fullback and slot jnr staight to wing outside Joey

Be either

Toia at centre

or

Suaalii at Centre and Pauga on the wing

The Tigers game won't be a cake walk as they have played some pretty good footy the past month or so

[mightyrooster]

Keep JS on the wing please Robbo. Either Pauga or Allan in the centres. Or Toia if he’s ready. And no Hutch in the centres either please.

it will be

[GC6]

1. Manu
2. Tupou
3. Billy Smith
4. Hutch
5. Suaalii
6. Keary
7. Walker

if we are gonna have a crack at this season we need a X factor and it’s not Hutch, it’s Walker.
This is the game to bring him back before thing get hard next week.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I think Pauga would come in ahead of Allan.

Pauga ahead of Hutch in the centres and you’re on the money..

Yeah and that's the path of least resistance. Don't want Suaalii back in the centre and Hutch is going well in the half-back role, so best to implement an interim option at right centre and leave the rest of the side "as-is".


Paul Momirovski would've been my other preferred option but I'm not sure what the latest is with his injury/rehab.

[kakaruk]

Toia for mine Hutch and Allen are both hopeless in the backline. Give the young bloke a run, sandon and wong have gone ok toia will go ok as well. Blood the youngsters

[Waylander]

Toia had 11 runs for 134m with 62 PCM & 3 tackle busts. Give the kid a chance.

[Rooster_6]

Guess it depends if Toops is fit to play as well?
