3 Merrin
2 Dugan
1 Cooper (should have a go at starting)

P Mata'utai deserves to stay and if Flo is back move into centre
B Marshall was ok for his first game back

3. Dugan
2. Cooper
1. Merrin

De Bellin is a first grader but he is playing out of position as a prop, and in doing so has bulked up too much and slowed down. He is a GOD DAMN lock and am sick of Merrin not playing as the Prop we need him to be.

3 - Dugan: lost count of the try saver. Needs to learn to pass properly though
2 - Mata'utia: didn't see the ball wide, but good hitups, good defense on Radradra, deflected high ball, deserves centre next game (do expect to see him in Cutters)
1 - Cooper: if all our forwards played with his attitude, wed be going much better

2. Duges ( could have been much worse ).
1. Beale ( busted his arse ).

How many weeks has it been since Widdop has made the top 3? Or how many times has he made the top 3 all season? Given he's your main play maker and he's on such a massive wage you'd expect him to be in the top few pretty much every week but that really doesn't seem to be the case.......

I'd like to see what your 6 would do behind a beaten pack.
He hasnt set on the world on fire, but he is NOT the problem.
So will all due respect...

Mate that is the same players that deserves mention. I would also include Merrin

Yeah Merrin tried hard mate.
Just think Beale's one on one tackles, Duges saves and breaks, and the only forward that looked ,like one got my points. Fair call though re Merrin. I Never doubt his ticker Karuah.

Wasn't Cooper going to be the one left out before Stockwell was ruled out ?
Says it all about Price.

Have to disagree there with you TRU ,his compulsion to kick to try and create a try is getting tiresome and it isn't working ,he is doing it when we have little room and early in the tackle count,it indicates he isn't willing to go to the line and put the ball through the hands , and his defence isn't real good ,so in my eyes he is as big of a contributor as anyone . Its hardly fair to blame it on the fowards solely , backs miss plenty of tackles and make poor reads on the tryline ,none of them are free of blame for the shit that's getting dished up at the minute .

Reddy, he isn't himself atm. Confidence, injury Im not sure mate.
In fact I would go as far as saying, he isn't "sure" what to do.
On 2 occasions he absolutely looked lost.

You are right in that I cant blame the forwards solely, but the fact is we cant penetrate the line to give our backs a chance.

we are a mess at the minute and the lads seem disinterested.
Thats my biggest concern.

Cheers
