Team v the bloody Panthers

Newcastle aside, would Lisone, Gavet, Tevaga and Ayshford be the shitest lowest impact bench ever seen?

I've been lenient so far but this did it for me.
He really is clueless, that bench is a joke.

Only thing I can think of is planning a mid game reshuffle, which is of course utterly stupid

He had clearly lost the plot!
What had Maumalo done to keep his wing spot vs Ashyford centre spot?
Fus to centre? WTF?
I'm confused.
Keep it simple, Tui to fullback Fus to wing. Maumalo to reserves, Ashyford stays at centre.

Fus to wing - Yes
Ayshford to centre - Yes
Maumalo to bench - No. Id say gone and Sipley to the bench. There's the impact!!

i disagree about maumalo phil

i think he doesnt deserve to be dropped. he gets our sets off good and has a very high work rate. hes getting better and better every week. doesnt deserve to get dropped. just my opinion

Don't mind Fus at centre, but I don't get the Maumalo love. He's been adequate but Ayshford's been better than adequate.
The only thing I'm thinking is Cappy wants to ensure both Fus and Tui get a lot of fake involvement and opportunities to inject themselves?

He's done this so if we loose he can say "told you so ,na-na-na-naaa-na" , really Fus should have taken one of the wing spots keep the centres as they are and as for the wing to drop, I'm easy with whoever

All I want to see for the rest of the year is the same side. If this is the best side (and we have to presume it is) then barring injury, it gets kept each week. Bodene in for Jazz, then that's us. McFail has decided that's our best 17 and they need to be the one given the responsibility for getting us to the finals, and as high up the ladder as possible. And Tui needs to get injected into the game more.

Any more tinkering and I think I'll go all Liam Neeson 'Taken' style on McFail.

I'm going full Liam Neeson.

This idiot keeps saying we're close we're close we're close but keeps changing the team. Makes absolutely nil sense. Muppet. We're either close and we keep these guys who are getting us close, or we admit we're not close.

This is just insanity. I can't even get my head around it.

I think Ayshford missed some crucial tackles on the weekend.

Did Fusitua play centre last year?...remember he got carved up in a couple of games...Roosters?

My thoughts on the Panthers are similar to what my thoughts were leading to the Canberra game.

Panthers can score tries in bunches, they can concede tries in bunches. Which Panthers side turns up for longer (both are likely to show up) will probably have as much influence on the result as anything else.

yes that sums it up in one .We never know from half to half what team will run out. The talented one or the lazy one

Fusitua is a talented enough player to handle centre, but that's a moot point.

Ayshford is already doing a great job there and Fus is killing it at the back.
Why would you even consider re-arranging that, even if it is for Lolohea to come in.
Maumalo is by far the most flawed of the back line.

Agreed. And Manu > Maumalo still, Maumalo wouldn't have scored Manu's try last weekend (the juggle was a bit arsey but the put down was superb)

lol, he did the same to someone in another game at centre too... Nene Macdonald maybe?

Then had a Hurrell of a game (with regard to his hands) in that match against the Roosters where Jennings spent significant portions offside/in Johnson's pocket without getting called for it.
