Robster why play Louie Anderson at Centre :roll: He isn't a centre he's a second rower/lock.

 

[BrentWebb'sno.1fan]

My Team:

1. Webby
2. Henz
3. Marto
4. Toops
5. Meli
6. Joey or Perenara. (Ropati if fit)
7. Stace
8. Jez
9. Tevita
10. Villa
11. Ali
12. Awen
13. Sione

Interchange

Hame Lauaki
Louie Anderson
Vinnie Anderson
Matt Jobson

 

[AliN]

My team would remain unchanged from the Sea Eagles match except bring Meli in for Murph, Feka on the bench for Jobson.
If Ropati is out injured, I'd bring Thomas back in.

My Team:

1. Webb

13. Guttenbeil (C)

14. Paleaaesina
15. Koopu
16. V Anderson
17. L Anderson

 

[Robster]

Why have Paleaasina, is it really worth having a player on the bench which only plays 8 minutes, its like a player playing for close to 10 minutes and getting injuried and then only having a 3 man bench.

I really like the idea of the Anderson bros on the bench as they can cover both forwards and centres, and can play for long periods which should allow us to constantly rotate the big units (Jerry, Feka, Villa, Ali and Lauaki) to maximise their impact. I always feel that our pack goes best when we are able to continually inject the big boys into the game fresh to keep the roll-on going.
If Ropati is injured I'd move Sione to 5/8, Guttenbeil to lock and bring Sullivan or Te Mata onto the bench.

Keep the same team, but bring in Meli for Murphy.

Not bad for what robster has said is a 10 min player

 

[Meth]

Switch Meli for Murphy

Faumuina to standoff, Lauaki to start

Bench- Feka, V.Anderson, Koopu, Jobson

Sounds good, but I'd maybe swap Koopu and Jobson for Louie Anderson and Te Mata. Te Mata deserves a run at second row where he's most effective and Anderson has impressed me so far. Koopu is prone to catching the ball flat and running sideways, and Jobson didn't show me a lot on sunday.

 

[ozbash]

whats happened to vince mellars ??

 

[Anonymous]

Same team again please. Bring back Meli for Murphy if no longer injured. MAYBE bring back Feka for Jobson, don't care too much either way.

 

[thuganomics]

He went to china

 

[Rudolph]

1. Webb
2. Fa'afili
3. Toopi or Martin
4. Meli or Toopi
5. Meli or Murphy
6. Ropati (is he injured?) or Faumuina
7. Jones
8. Seuseu
9. Latu
10. Villasanti
11. Lauitiiti
12. Guttenbeil (C)
13. Faumuina or V Anderson

14. Paleaaesina
15. Lauaki - should stay on the bench best to use him as an impact player.
16. V Anderson
17. L Anderson

 

[Iafeta]

Why make too many changes? They played with their heads screwed on and got the reward. I'd like to give a lot of praise to Matt Jobson, obviously under rated, he got out there and done his job. No histrionics, just got the go forward and worked hard. I've bracketed Louis Anderson with Paleaaesina, Louis made a couple of errors but goes forward and tackles hard - depends how Ando wants to play the game.

1 Webb
2 Fa'afili - played extremely well, well done Henry
3 Martin
4 Toopi
5 Meli
6 Ropati - if injured, Lance Hohaia
7 Jones
8 Seu Seu
9 Latu
10 Villasanti
11 Lauitiiti
12 Guttenbeil (c)
13 Faumuina

Interchange

Lauaki

He went to china

CHINA !!! wtf is he doing in china :shock:


same team for me except meli in for murph and we need some bloody huuge forwards to front up against the knights giants.
feka, koopu ??

 

[Robster]

Villasantis BIG, Lauki is Huge, Jerrys a big boy, Ali's big and dangerous.

 

[JoeD]

Keep the same team, cept for swap Meli for Murph. They played well and deserve another shot. Consistency in selection is what is required.

 

[Marty]

Good call JoeD...Keep the team the same. Bring Meli in for Murphy. IMO I don't think Lealuai should have been picked. Sione should play Stand off and Loui or Vinnie should start at Lock.I thought both brothers played awsome on the Weekend. Loui dropped a couple of balls but I thought he did alot of good clean up on defence around the ruck much the way Monty does.
