Tupou out for Oldfield, LOD in.

I am not getting into any debate about whether or not you are the phantom. I have never thought that you were. You mentioned that SKD would be playing Centre because robbo has an idea. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of SKD playing reserve grade because he has been disgraceful since 2010. He would probably be the worst player in the comp in terms of basic football fundamentals and is extremely lucky that Moga is injured. The penny will drop eventually and he will drop SKD or perhaps be explaining to the board at season end why we missed the finals.

Yep SKD is going that bad. But I don't think Robbo will and I dont think he should drop him because
* the only other capable centre we have is SBW, and you don't weaken a strength to strengthen a weakness.
* you don't throw the baby out with bath water after one poor performance, and Robbo said himself that the right side defence has been going well up until last 40 mins last night.
* SKD deserves ribbing for his performance last night, but 90% of positions he found himself in was result of a number of the other 12 blokes on the field.
* and lastly the original discussion of putting Oldfield there is laughable for anyone who watched him at manly and his games at Newtown in centres.

SKD has had about 40 bad peformances since 2010 so he deserves to go. Maubs can play Centre, not SKD and bring Guerra into the backrow for Maubs. Not perfect but will tighten the defense and we won't lose anything in attack as there isn't anything there right now to begin with. I don't rate Oldfield either.
