SQUAD v DRAGONS

[Vasco]

Outside Sandon instead of Hutch (which would be considered extremely remote) I can’t see any others pushing to replace someone.

I agree. In fairness to Hutch his best position is in the halves. He'll do a steady job, hopefully enough to get us over the line.

[Lydon]

Don't forget sides lift the week they sack a coach.

Also their interim coach has made the right moves by reinstating Lomax and Liddle and demoting Mbye…

[HunchoRooster]

For once good to see Hutch in the line-up. Will do a servicable job at 6 and is our best available.

Sue R. Lehe on the other hand... FMD put him back on the farrking wing! It solves 2 issues, his putrid work ethic in the centres and removing Corey Allan from the team.

I don't think Hutch will run out i think Sandon Smith will play halfback good to see Luke back at 5/8 suallii still in the centers the dragons will run heaps of plays down that side makes no sense to me .

[Sentimentinel]

The only position I can handle Hutch in the side is the halves.

Even though he is slow as a wet week, you won't catch him dancing sideways and should straighten the attack.

Big boot, the canny bugger also knows when to have a run at the right time. He may not pour through a hole, but an offload could beckon for teddy to sniff out and score.

[MKCS]

Sounds like a fair point, but where do you suggest he learn instead? In reserve grade? Most players are still learning. Maybe learning at NRL level is the best way to learn.

Is he right side this week instead of left? He'll carve up if he's on the right

I remember RTS when he was on the wing for us in Minichello's last season he would swap around with Mini quite regularly. My memory is hazy but I think maybe RTS was defending at fullback and attacking on the wing?

Maybe something similar could be done for Suaalii? Although he's a gun winger so I'm not sure why we just wouldn't leave him there since he's leaving for Union...

[Chook2]

Gus and Nat butch taken over the starting spots but Sitili and Evan? Interesting to see if JWH actually plays or not
brown back from suspension. So included in extended squad
Great to see pauga there might be a late change for Allan?
whyte has been killing res making 220 to 250 mtr a game so wonder if he will get picked up by another club to get 1st grade time?

out this week - but could or should be back for round 14
manu
tupou
walker

watson running now and toia should not be far away in res

[NorfolkStreetKid]

well at least the guru is proving to be persistant. or is it stubborn, or pig headed ?
This game has no meaning,
if we win it means nothing, we beat a leaderless rabble with no coach
if we lose it means nothing, they beat a leaderless rabble with no coach.

[Thirteen]

Keary back where he belongs. On the left.

[Headless Chook]

Don't forget sides lift the week they sack a coach.

That's actually not true. Most teams that sack their coach still usually lose the next game. It's the game after where they tend to rebound

[Aubo]

Can we just put JS on the wing and move on with our lives ???

[BigCok007]

Outside Sandon instead of Hutch (which would be considered extremely remote) I can’t see any others pushing to replace someone.

I think Brown comes in for JWH. I hope the backline gets tweaked and Joe goes to wing with Junior in at Centre

[Steggles]

Why do we want him learning centre at all given he’s off to union? Stick him on the wing or piss him off altogether, but don’t invest in teaching him a new role FFS. Learning at NRL level wasn’t good enough for Walker so why would we let this dud do the same?

[gragra]

I still believe a better option would have been to get Turpin in as hooker...a win on the dummy half play, Brandon to lock...it's his running game that's good and Radley to 5/8 ...goodhands and a go9d link and strong defence and Hutch to the bench ....and of course suallili to the wing

[Lydon]

Keary back where he belongs. On the left.

I’m still baffled as to why he was moved in the first place..
