21 MAN SQUAD v STORM

[Bahrain Rooster]

Wonder what’s happened to Keighran. Hopefully it’s not an injury, we could do with less of those.

[Rooster90]

Has been poor defensively.

So has Lam, Keighran is a centre/half playing in the middle. Bit rough to expect him to defend like Jake Friend

He is certainly not alone but there is no way you can have Walker/Lam/Keighran all on the field against the Storm that would be a disaster defensively.

If he was fit I would put Lungbuster in .His game management is much better behold he isnt flash but can compliment young Walker and relieve some pressure .

Lungbuster or the Iron Lung? & ribs to go!

Keighran injured his Ankle at Training so was ruled out - SST or Walker to Kick

Thanks for the update Salvo. SST and Walker kicking doesn’t give me confidence though.

Ben Thomas comes onto the bench for Keighran with Hutch and Sualli retained in the 19 - Keighran Injured and Lussick were cut.

Hopefully it wont come down to goal kicking but SST is a better kicker - maybe over his rib injury to resume kicking again ?

Looks like most Storm SOO players will play although they may rest Welch and Kaufusi as the Bromwich Bro's are back

I'd be interested to know what objective criteria you are using to establish Lam's superiority as a FACT, over say, Hutchison. All you have done above is express your opinion, just like everyone else (but called it FACT).

Here, I'll help you out.... these are their respective 2021 stats. It makes an easy comparison as they've both played 8 games. Bolded fields show the better performer in that category:

LACHLAN LAM	DREW HUTCHISON
APPEARANCES = 8	APPEARANCES = 8
TRIES = 1	TRIES = 2
FORCED DROP OUTS = 3	FORCED DROP OUTS = 4
AVERAGE KICKING METRES = 199.6	AVERAGE KICKING METRES = 204.4
TRY ASSISTS = 4	TRY ASSISTS = 0
LINE BREAK ASSISTS = 2	LINE BREAK ASSISTS = 0
OFFLOADS = 3	OFFLOADS = 1
RECEIPTS = 299	RECEIPTS = 333
TACKLES MADE = 152	TACKLES MADE = 180
TACKLE EFFICIENCY = 90.5%	TACKLE EFFICIENCY = 93.3%
AVERAGE RUNNING METRES = 35	AVERAGE RUNNING METRES = 47
TOTAL RUNNING METRES = 282	TOTAL RUNNING METRES = 381
TOTAL FANTASY POINTS = 326	TOTAL FANTASY POINTS = 329
AVERAGE FANTASY POINTS = 40.8	AVERAGE FANTASY POINTS = 41.1

Both bog average - Lam not up to scratch agreed - hope he improves. Hutch well he has won us all over with his heart - but again bog average - zero try assists zero line break assists playing 6 - well there you have it. I hope he improves as well.

Accurate description of both

[Spirit of 66]

There's no back up for Verrills as things currently stand. To me that means either Hutch comes in on the bench (to slot in as a hooker) or Suaalii comes in to allow Lam to shift to Hooker and Manu to five eighth.

Good player but a soft cock always injured

Careful or SesameStreetKid will come down hard on you for criticising our players..

Just keep putting shiit on our players , make you feel good ?? Turd.

Hopefully Hutchinson starts with Lam on the bench. That will also give cover for both Walker and Verrills.

Lam could come on to give Hutch a breather, maybe add some spark ( Zero confidence )

That seems the logical option..
