3 second rowers on the bench hey. Will Papalii play in the middle? If Lane goes there then he gets more minutes and that's not good. I would have Oregan in for Carty if it was my team.
Souths bashed them up the middle and frustrated the f**k out the them with mad merkin defence.

Not having a threat out of dummy half is a setback. In any case defence wins the big games.

Not sure too many Panthers are looking forward to being hit by Stone.

Yep we need a attacking threat in dummy half unfortunately stone doesn't provide that even for his awesome defence in the past fortnight.

Koroisau could be the major difference
I love stoney but we need a proper hooker.
even just the accuracy and speed of the pass to first receiver makes a huge difference to our attacking momentum.
I feel this will be a major handbrake for us against this quality opposition

I hope Stoney spends the entire off season working on his delivery from dummy half. I reckon that’s his best chance of becoming a regular first grade player. He’d be a top reserve hooker / cover for the edges. The opportunity is there, especially with Lussick leaving.

f**king agree he is hopeless solid back up that is about all and he’s re-sign for another year I had to God we buy a half decent back up back
That Hazye Perham has a lot of quality about him. Kids like him, Loizou and Russell will leap frog Oppa next year. It’s good to have Oppa for depth however.

Agree. Is Nathniel Roache signed for 22 ?

my only two wtf's are, Blake and Fergo back on the same side again, assuming they line up as named

and Kaufusi has been omitted for a few games now and in his last game when we rested most of the team he was our best player, I'm surprised he hasn't been rotated with the other fringe players especially with Krakatoa out, we rotote a middle player with an edge player (Matto)

We need a happy hooker.

Those were the numbers they wore last week. I still think we should just number everyone alphabetically.

We look lite in the middle although BA is probably planning on playing Jnr and Reg 70 minutes each this week.

We are fine in middle. Lane,Marata,Papa all can spend time there. Along with Stone if need be.
You only need two big forwards these days and the rest fast and mobile.

I hadn't heard of Loizou. What's his story? There is also Naiduki coming thru

I agree, but I'd still have Oregon in over Cartwright. His runs take the gas outta the defense, and he's been playing well.
