Team v Knights

[Meth]

If so, who comes in? Leon Pryce's son? Maybe Tuala shifts to centre?

source?

Tomato. But bbq is all good aswell.

a tumbleweed just blew across the forum

No Gagai? Pompey's likely to have a shocker now.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Well Pompey is a better Goal kicker than Metcalf so thats a plus

No Gagai? Well the straight guy is gonna have a sore arse cause they’re still getting pumped

metcalf has gone ok.

anyway, Johnson is fit to kick again

anyway, Johnson is fit to kick again.

This is a curly one, for a boring Good Friday. Is Johnson a better player when he also has goalkicking responsibilities?

Or is it mute because when he's not kicking he's usually a little injured?

(I think I've answered my own question, but will still post it).

Is there an argument for CHT? Like, Lussick makes sense with Egan less likely to play bigger minutes first week back in, but if we're really only looking for a short stint at hooker with the potential to offer a bit more utility and impact, is CHT a better option?

I think there probably is, although Lussick is a better hooker and that's the core role you want. CHT probably gives you more flexibility which isn't probably an issue unless there's injuries or requirement to change the backs

I’d use Lussick until we’re confident Egan will get through a game.

We need Egan but I'm with you on this one. We need to manage Egan and CNK wisely. SJ has a niggle and plays better without GK.

This game's a rare treat for us in NSW, it's live on Nine! It's not a huge deal for most but for me it is, as I don't bother with non-free TV and streaming.

It was heavily promoted last night, with the Roger v Ponga line. See, Roger's been back five minutes, moved to the number one slot, and he's hyped up to the max. If he stayed at centre he'd be allowed a little more time to settle in.

Dylan walker is out. Still not ready. Jazz comes in for him.

Dylan Lucas replaces gagai

Just watching our NSW Cup team. Our centres are absolute weapons. We know Ali Leiataua is the goods, but Moala Graham-Taufa looks the goods as well. Powerful ball runner who can beat a man on the outside with speed. Looks like prospect at left centre. We have some pretty good depth at the club.

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Totally agree with Andrew Johns about RTS - if the Warriors are to be a threat this year, RTS HAS to be the fullback

Looks like we're confident

Turns out putting CHT on the bench was a masterstroke.
Would be pretty happy if he spends the rest of the year at 14 doing a Lance Hohaia role

Well, yeah, one of those games were circumstances made it look like forethought and genius. I guess Egan may have moved to 6 if we had Lussick on the bench?

I think we should definitely learn from this. CHT on the bench provides us with capable backup across multiple positions.

 

[Meth]

Well, I guess the true test would have been if Egan went down early (which, let's be honest, is more likely). Would we have enough capability at hooker without Lussick to function well.

Harris Tavita is a natural half.
