I'd love to see Pete given a go in the centres, I'm just about done with Sau.

McKinnon is our best backrower already. House is good, but a pussy. He doesn't hurt people in D or Attack. He is a great cleaner upperer around the ruck. Basically he can play Nev's current role a lot better than nev. McKinnon hits the line, drives, lands on his stomach gets decent play the balls. He has good ball skills and looks like he wants to hurt people in tackles. He will explode after another off-season in the gym.

Edwards and Cuthbo are absolutely f**king useless. At least edwards doesn't make error, after error.
Zeb has gone to shit, 7 missed tackles this week and something close to that last week.

Zane and McKinnon are both physical players capable of terrorising outside backs. Hilder is useless.

f**king sick and tired of Cuthbertson. Edwards needs to show more than a few good tackles a game. I hate the way Hilder is getting played this year, let him play for more than 10 minutes or dont play him at all for f**ks sake.

 

[Pure_Knight]

Biggest change needs to be the way we play...
1) not dropping the ball would be a start...
2) more line speed and defensive pressure down their end of the field
3) more depth in attack.. We're playing so flat .. I'd rather us play with far more depth and having the likes of Tahu and Boyd running with more options at pace with room to move

 

[The Showstopper]

Kelly in 14. Wow could he do some damage in short bursts.

 

[Burwood]

The Bennett discipline isn't quite there yet. I've lost count at the number of times this season we have worked hard to pin the opposition down in their own 20m, only to let them off the hook with a cheap penalty. In the games against Melbourne and St George we must have done it 8+ times alone. We virtually field every kick on our own goal line.

We need some size in the pack badly, so I went with a big bench. McKinnon is a very promising player but at his age, I think he needs a rest from week to week in the NRL. Dropped Eddy because he simply hasn't showing anything this year. Cuthbertson is unlucky not to make my 17, but I don't think he's being used right this year. He's a ball playing backrower, not a prop forward.

 

[RABK]

We need a whole lot more from our bench. Hilder, Edwards, Cuthbertson and McKinnon are just offering zilch.

We could do a lot worse than a bench of Faas, Kelly, Zane and using Sau as an impact backrower. I heard Naiqama is back this week.

I tink that starting pack offers more grunt and discipline for the first 25 minutes and the bench has a lot more impact.

Perhaps if Taia is given 40-50 minutes he'll be able to focus on the basics like making tackles and not dropping the pill.

Kelly to 5/8, Gidley to hooker to sub bedsy. If Gidleys fit - don't ask Mullen to play 2 games injured. But if Gidleys not i guess we'll have to ask that of Mullo.

 

[RABK]

I just remembered it's in a fortnights time - Mullen in for Roberts in my side. I was thinking City vs country was friday night.

[Joker's Wild]

lol at you fellas picking Gids at FB and moving Darius to the wing. You do realise that he was the biggest factor in us even scoring a point on Friday night dont you?

[The Showstopper]

Boyd is coming good. Give him decent go forward and he will carve teams up. Dragons are half the team in attack they were now that he is gone. I would say The Dragons and us are pretty much on par except they execute better.
