Best 17 going forward as from next week

[martielang]

With Moylan at the back & Cleary (and Rein if he plays) you could just play another middle forward at 6. That's when we looked effective last year when Cartwright played straight and more as offloading forward then a 5/8th. Moylan essentially plays 5/8th anyway.

Not that i would personally go that way but i'd be interested to see how it would work if we had Latu named at 6.

His theory is full of holes. As I stated we were rolling through Newy just fine with Tamou and RCH starting, same can be said of the Warriors and Brisbane, we were literally winning the field positional battle pretty easily in all of those game before we f**ked it up. We make mistakes and drop our heads and our defence is to easilty cracked, that is the whole squads issue blaming it on two props is ridiculous. All of our issues for the last few years have all had RCG at the centre of them is some way according to chris.

I agree with this. I've said in previous comments about the noticeable change after an error. Without that we have one of the better forward packs in my opinion. They just need to react better.

Trouble is, you can't see the Great Wall from the moon.

Have you been there?

Will Mansour be back after the bye? I'm curious to see how this backline with shape up when he returns.

Very likely, yes.

Griffin said 2 weeks ago he'll be right to go in round 13.

 

[Fangs]

Beauty.

So if Griffin stays true to form and won't move Moylan then who drops out of the backline?

1. Moylan
2. Mansour
3. Whare
4. Blake
5. DWZ

17. Hiku

I can feel it comming...

Maybe Mansour will be sent to reggies to regain some fitness

Latu to 6 & Mansour to start at prop. RCG to the bench. Sauce is our forward leader anyway. He may as well show the rest of them how it's done.

What do you think?

Yes?

From an outsiders perspective, it seems that Moylan needs to move to 5/8. The bloke is much better suited there and that was shown in the second half against Newcastle. Alternatively, whatever is going on with Te Marie Martin needs to be resolved quickly because Cartwright is not the answer. I'd be moving Moylan to 5/8 and bringing in young Edwards, the kid can play. Cartwright is definitely an edge back rower. Mansour will be a welcome return for you blokes, Hiku isn't cutting it this season and I wouldn't be surprised to see him dropped to the bench or even NSW Cup.

While I'm here, if we could have both RCG and Fisher-Harris that'd be great. Cheers.

I think our pack will be this

RCG
Rein
Tamou
Yeo
Peachey
Merrin

Hiku
Latu
Kikau
JFH

who plays 6 is the question really

Obvious stuff really

With Carty and Wallace out for a length of time and Mansour back he has to move Moylan right? Our backline is/will be stacked as of round 13. We can cover 9/6/1 easily.

Mansour will take a good month to get up to speed. we may not see the best of him at all this year. So I think a back will stay on the bench for the next month atleast

Latu would get too tired playing the full game. When he comes on I would give him a bit of ball playing

I like it. As long as they find a way to give Peachy a reasonable amount of game time it would work well.

This amounts to dropping Hiku for Edwards, which I don't think is justified and won't happen. Even if this were to happen, I think DWZ deserves first crack at the 1.

Hiku is welcome to play reserves. Fair point on DWZ. Edwards can play wing.

 

[umina panther]

Edwards is already better than Hiku and he's the future
