Give the young guys a go - they are hungry.

Good side, maybe Toia in for Wong.

[Bates]

It's time for a new halves pairing.

[HunchoRooster]

To have ANY chance, one of the halves need to go. I would definitely lean towards getting rid of Chad given he has offered next to nothing creatively and his kicks alone havent been good enough to justify being in the side. Dropping Sandon would shatter his confidence. The issue is we don’t have any obvious replacement that isn’t a young gun.

Putting a young half like Elliott, Rodwell or Savala could work one of two ways. No fear can result in a blinder and unpredictability or it can shatter their confidence and give them stage fright. Big calls to make. I am usually ready and willing to criticise Robbo decisions as a coach but I’d understand why he wouldn’t make any changes to key positions for this game.

In terms of forwards, the young blokes aimed up so well against Riff and showed no fear. More of the same would be great. Sadly Victor is not so big of a loss nowadays and Connor back will give us a glimmer of hope of winning the yardage battle.

[Vasco]

Yeah I agree , Toia deserves to keep his spot , we need to get him the ball.
I was worried we wouldn’t have any decent centres but now we have 3 ready to go.
we just need a halfback and some go forward.

That's the key point. He has received clean ball once, in the first 5 minutes of the opening game, and hasn't seen it since.

I know Zero chance of this but would be my best available.

[tloos1999]

We don't have a great side, but that one is a lot worse. Nat Butcher not even in the 17, Connor Watson at lock, Billy Smith on the bench.

Keep going.

What is this fan bases obsession with Nat Butcher. Has been a plodder of the highest degree for about 4-5 years now, and offers nothing to this team. Any form of attack is non existent, and the defence he supposedly brings is extremely weak.

[Bates]

Where do we sign the petition?

I think Robbo's plan is to be 3 wins from 12 games. Sammy returns and we climb from 17th to 9th and just miss the finals.

[Lydon]

If only Coach Robbo thought the same..

He was full of high praise for Townsend prior to last weeks match,doubt that will change unfortunately..

[Bates]

That's the key point. He has received clean ball once, in the first 5 minutes of the opening game, and hasn't seen it since.

Toia will be a weapon when Sammy returns.

[On the Nose]

The season's a write off anyways, so Mark N to 5/8. He can probably kick, he seems to be able to it all.

[HDTONE]

I think Lasalu should be on the bench he's a big unit and keen to impress.

Also give a run to Hugo at 6 and keep Sandon at 7.

If Billy's ready to go I think he needs a start if Toia has to drop back well that's he big league you need your best 17.

[Vasco]

I think Robbo's plan is to be 3 wins from 12 games. Sammy returns and we climb from 17th to 9th and just miss the finals.

Perfect.

Don't get too excited.

What I can tell you is that there's a big chance we will see Souths name 'Trell at left centre, Wighton at right centre, and Jye Gray be retained at fullback.
