  • Team vs Broncos

    If Marky is back next week and Billy having a great game you'd hope the odd man out is Young. Marky and Teddy are our best attacking options atm and Marky is a much stronger defender than Young, runs the ball out better and a better finisher. The talk of Toia being dropped should be finished after tonight. I thought he handled Trell super.

    Unfortunately I can't see Elvis getting dropped and throwing Hugo or Elliot to the wolves against the Broncos or Penrith but FM I hope so.

    Rads will come back for Collins.

    I can't see any other changes.

    Trent said he thought Radley and Marky Mark would be back next week.

    1. Tedesco
    2. Tupou
    3. Smith
    4. Toia
    5. Marky Mark (I hate it because I think he's been one of our most creative outlets and worried on the wing he might be stifled but we need to stop leaking tries)
    6. Elliot
    7. Sandon S
    8. Whyte
    9. Watson
    10. Leniu
    11. Foketi
    12. Wong
    13. Radley

    14. N Butcher
    15. Losalu
    16. Crichton (needs a bit of a wake up call IMO, get him back in the middle taking the hard carries)
    17. Dockar-Clay

      Dom Young is a defensive liability but also one of the best finishers in the comp, that's proven with his 68 tries in 78 games, very good stats even for a winger. I think the biggest problem at the Roosters is the halves but there is nothing you can realistically do about them. Maybe Radley at 6 and Watson at 7? I think even that would be better than Sandon and Chad...

        I like that team a lot, however I reckon the coach will stick with Collins instead of Losalu. I’d pick Losalu at this point in time.

          I doubt Collins will be picked next week or the week after.......

            Good call, I forgot about his medial ligament injury.

              Can we use Losalu? He isn’t on a full time contract so I’m not sure of how it works.

                I reckon Mark N will do a fine job finishing tries if he replaces Young. He’ll also be better in defence and he won’t run sideways

                  Didn’t Lindsay pick up a medial ligament injury? Pretty sure that’s what they said - if so he’s no chance next week

                    Yes, Robbo said he's done his MCL. Presumably that's at least ~5-6 weeks?

                      Yeah that’s a shame for us as we are a prop short already. Lindsay hasn’t been very impressive this year. I admire his heart though - always puts in at 110% however this last 12 months of footy from him for us has been underwhelming. Why he has recently become such an easy target to smash lately is hard to understand as I don’t notice anything different in what he is doing. Runs it hard still but gets hammered. I hope it’s just a bit of a bad run that will pass.

                      Anyway it gives Losalu another chance and he looked impressive. Hopefully he aims up for us this next month or so whilst Lindsay is out and becomes a regular part of our prop rotation as we need another.

                        Speaking of prop rotation are the Va'a bros close to a return?

                            Radley at 6. What are you on?

                              Whilst Toia didn't do much wrong on Friday, I am expecting a straight swap of Marky Mark for Toia.
