What to do, What to do?

Look outside the circle and see the oppurtunities he creates for us

He may stuff something up after making his break, but at least he makes his break, if he didnt we'd still be 50 metres upfield

but then at least we would still have the ball... Linnett doesn't stuff around when given open space, he just runs for the hole and knows how to position his supports..

Im not saying to drop Linnett at all

Could have given the ball to an unmarked Graham at least once, 30m out. He will learn. We know he can play against ordinary opposition.

There's a real dilemma here.

SKD is all potential. Linnett shouldn't be dropped after tonight. Graham is an experienced speedster we need. Perrett is awesome. Minichiello is experienced, and is good to have as a fullback in defence. Leilua looks the goods.

What would seem to be an obvious solution would be to shift Anasta to lock, Carney to 5/8, and go with:

1. Minichiello
2. Perrett
3. Linnet
4. SKD
5. Graham

14. Leilua

BUT, you couldn't possibly shift FPN after that performance, so Braith stays at 6 (where he went alright tonight).

It's going to be interesting to see what Smith does. Regardless, it's nice to have a bit of depth in the outside backs for a change.

[Headless Chook]

Thought it was Anasta's best game by a long way. Won't worry me if they move him to lock, but I can't believe people would want to drop him based on tonights performance.

He has 11 errors (66th in NRL)

4 Stats in which his in the top 20

I wouldn't bother the bloke hasn't been able to back anything up since he got here....

Skid still has a lot of work to do but for his first season in the centres at top grade he's showing plenty of potential, could go either way.

BJ Leilua has looked promising as well, considering he had to play Second row the entire game.

Bring him in for Skd, and see what he has. Shaun needs a spell in reggies anyway.

Have to reward a youngster.

Have to punish a bloke who has been terrible as of late (3penalties and 3 errors in a game which we dominated is inexusable)
Nothing wrong with playing for Newtown. Ask Linnet =)

[Rooster_6]

Yeh tonight was one of Skid's off nights but to be fair the bulk of play was predominantly going down the left fringe. I think a trip to Newtown would do him the world of good, concentrate on simplifying his game a little bit and who knows maybe learn to draw and pass like Linnet did perfectly tonight.

I do feel for the bloke though, he cops a lot of unwarranted criticism. I think his defence has improved out of sight, it's just a few stupid decisions and a few basic skill errors that seem to let him down.

BJ isn't a centre he is another backrower in the making, there is no rush IMO

I thought SKD was ok last night, he made plenty of metres, got his hands on the ball quite a lot, his defense was very good.......sure he has a brain snap but I would too after that try was disallowed

[Guest]

SKD is one of the only ones that consistently looks like he's charging and eating metres. Dumb or not he makes much needed ground that not all the others do every week. Stupid mistakes included I wouldn't write him off just yet.

He looks like he's making metres because he's gobbling around the field with goose stepping/head wobbbling whilst running backwards and sideways. He made what? 70 metres last night? He probably ran 200+ sideways.

I could give a flying fook if he was ranked first in all those stats. It's his idiotic decisions that he makes with the football in hand that will always come back to bite our team in the backside. Throw in the fact (yes, it's a fact) that he wobbles around the field running backwards and sideways and it's just too easy to say the below statement:

He's park footballer at best.

Don't worry too much about your lineup and who to place where. Give it another 4 - 5 weeks for Friend, Carney and Myles to F*ck up and you'll have plenty of room for everyone

Room in the cap for more Raiders players.

That Fensom kid goes good

Ignore the facts again... didn't realise you could make 8 linebreaks running across the field, the statisticians should fix that one up
