i cant believe trent dropped napa

[sydroosters]

its good to see evans get his debut though

He's rotated the two youngsters.

Makes sense. No use leaving one as 18th man every week, when then called upon that player would have zero match fitness.

Having two greenhorns in one game isn't smart or necessary while everyone's fit.

Casty has heaps of expierence.

I'm sure they will all get a chance to contribute at some stage this season.

Gonna be some stiffys this week, another SuperMegaResherveGrader debuts.

Maubs is a bit light though maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate.

Sack him I say, NOW.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I'd prefer us mortless. We seem to lose a lot with his stint.

Just IMHO of course.

Napa still has a lot of improving and maturing to do. It'll be a good game to debut Evans in.

Be interesting to see if robbo goes back to the tried formula of 10min each side of half time for morts.

Really???
He was always going to be dropped after last week.
It would be no benefit to the excellent young guy to accept that performance. He will grow from getting dropped.

I know what you're saying mate, but the week we leave Mortein out you can guarantee either the 9, 6 or 7 will go down early and we will really be short.

Maubs and Mortein IMO are vital members of our bench/side as they cover all mid game eventualities.

Once again the balance of this weeks teams is much better.

Having FPN on the bench as a prop doesn't work.

interesting when Jared was interviewing JT on this weeks team line up he confirmed Evans was playing but words like maybe/might were used when discussing Casty, so whether its injury or team selection, Casty is no certainty to play Saturday night as of this point in time.

Maubs on the runbon side works better because he cant do tough meters. Thats where we folded last week after Jared and Moa went off. Aiden will cart the ball up all day.

I completely agree with this sentiment. I hope Remi Casty can play. That's two decent size props to help improve our yardage game which we struggled with against Souths hungrier pack.

It's been one game in but I already miss LOD's being on the bench.
