With all on deck, who misses out ?

[Guest]

I honestly believe that Lui is far more effective then Kennedy. My line up would be this:

Nuuasala
Cordner
Williams
Hargreaves
Friend
O'Donnell

Mortimer
Guerra
Lui
Moa

I would have Aubusson in the centres in the place of SKD.

Why is that? Is your name Brian Smith?

Unfortunately it will come down to who we are playing. There is no denying that having Morts on the bench has a strong impact on Jakes game however he on played 10 min v Manly and that does seem a bit of a luxury. Jake may be gearing up for a one-off 80 performance given that he wont have to back up the next week.
For mine
JWH
Jake
LOD
SBW
MAubs
Guerra
Bench
MOA
FPN
Lui
Cordner if fit if not Morts

Having said this it we are playing a big pack MK will be selected over Lui.

Some times Morts bothers me ....good player ,even though I know he is on for short stints he doesnt get involved enough or run the ball .That is some thing Team Robbo needs to fix .When Morts does we go into another dimension .

Great problem to have. A couple of weeks ago, it looked as though our depth would be stretched and Arona would be getting a run in the finals.

For us to have blokes like Napa and Liu likely to miss out, we are in a good position.

I can't believe we made it through a game like the one we played against Manly without any real injuries.

I would've considered that a few weeks ago, but I thought SKD was great against Manly. SKD is targetted everytime he runs the ball out - Manly hit him with everything and he was very solid. He was also very solid in defence - even made a try-saver on Matai. I was very happy for him given the year he has had.

I keep saying, Put Morty on for 40 minutes a game. He showed what he can do against Manly during Origin.

I thought SKD was fantastic bringing the ball out from our danger end. As was Topou.

But you'd be weakening us by taking Friend off for half the game? Surely you don't want this?

That's an immense bench.

If Jake can play 80, that's the pack I'd be taking to Souths.

I'll be honest here I love Lui he is a gun in the making if he keeps the good work up but if you want defensive work rate then at the moment Kennedy is a better option
FPN must start in the next game and deliver then bench him

Have to agree with that on MK v Lui. With FPN, start or bench, it depends on the strategy for that opponent. For mine FPN is the misunderstood child at the RWB. He cops criticism but he does a job that not many can in the squad. His runs hurt the opposition a lot which tires them quickly, a hard man to tackle. I think he does exactly the job TR wants him to do.
