Team for next week

[King Salvo]

Need to move on from the Penrith Game and not dwell on it. Obviously they will go through the video to pin point what went wrong especially in these first 25 odd minutes

ZDC was a wasted interchange so I would go with 4 forwards on the interchange bench instead - Watson to play 80 again

JWH back in the 17 and possibly Radley pending fitness

If you don't caree ZDC, what do you do if Watson or one of the halves goes down?

[Roosterfarian]

Its astounding that he didnt give ZDC and minutes given the fatigue level out there. I know he isnt much chop but Robbo’s use of the bench was poor.

JWH needs to start. May doesn't seem to have the same impact when he starts.

[Judge Smails]

Sitili???

He cannot be anywhere near the team. His defence is dogshit , which in-turn puts enormous pressure on those inside and outside him.

Radley, Wong or Butcher !

JWH must start with May. This allows for a very thorough exchange with Lenu and Collins in the second phase

We win the ruck, we win the game

If you don't caree ZDC, what do you do if Watson or one of the halves goes down?

ZDC isn't required in IMO. If Watson goes down Manu moves to #6 and Sandon to Hooker.

The only change I'd make to your 17 is Wong on the bench for Sitili. If Rads is out then they both play.

Fixed it

[BTRD]

Robinson is a liability.

Wong to start. Watson to the bench. ZDC to start. All week long just practice tackling.

Hopefully we will notice Manu and Collins.

GO ROOSTERS.

[BraveTheWorld]

ZDC isn't required in IMO. If Watson goes down Manu moves to #6 and Sandon to Hooker.

Not ideal, but that is probably a better alternative than playing ZDC, especially if he doesn't get on the field.

[The Brain]

If Rads is fit I would co sidereal him at hooker...from what I could see last game a massive disconnect on our spine.At least play him like the old days as a halves link

[Mickie Lane]

I personally dont think May is playing that good. He doesn't intimidate anyone, he doesn't scare any opposition players, he doesn't hurt opposition players when he tackles them & he doesn't run aggressively enough.

[Lydon]

JWH must start next week,the guy’s had enough rest on the sidelines..

[Chook2]

Jwh needs to start with may on the bench
I don’t know about ZDC - if rads is fit he can fill in at 9 if Watson goes down so maybe we have a forward heavy bench knowing a few back rowers can fill in at centre if we need as well
instead of having ZDC playing no minutes

[B2B]

I agree , something is wrong . He was being considered for the state of origin earlier this year . Great player when he is on !
