Gray straight in for Hawkins.

Havili for Host.

Not hard.
I don't want to get involved in your fun with Eric but your answers beg some questions.

Considering that Gray and Havili are already in the 17, you then need to say who replaces them in their current selected positions of fullback and bench forward respectively.

We would need a new fullback and a reshuffle which could be Gagai to fullback and Myers comes back into the three-quarters or maybe ITT. Havili for Host seems problematic since Havili is not an edge forward and would likely be a defensive liability out wide due to limited lateral movement in defence. They would have to shift Tallis to edge and Havili to lock which I could live with but you either keep Host on the bench which changes very little or you bring another reserve in like Chee Kam or Brock Gray.

I'm not sold on throwing young Jye Gray into the high stakes pressure cooker of steering the ship from 7 in the final game of the year against our fiercest rivals in a grudge match having had no game time there all year whilst at the same time shuffling someone else into fullback under the same conditions.

Might look better on paper but I don't think you have thought it through completely.

Anyhow, you get back to your stoush with Eric. ;)

Pretty hard to “stoush” with an adolescent, but you can call it what you want.

Souths supporters across myriad forums have wanted Gray thrown the halfback guernsey and especially this week as the game is the perfect opportunity to give him a shot. He is a tenacious little player with a lovely step and a nice pass. He has also played 5/8 in the past. Hawkins has been bog average for a long time at NRL level, a very long time. He is also leaving the club. You could give Myers or Munro and even Gagai a game at full back. You would bring in Thompson if needed. I don’t rate this game against Easts as high stakes, our season was dead long ago and maybe you did not think that through completely. Mad Monday is closer than normal for Souths this year, players and fans alike.



Host is a tackling miss fit, as bad as Hawkins and he coughs up the ball to boot. He kills attacking moments for Souths at the most crucial of times, we have seen this.

Chee Kam offers more than he and you may or may not agree, but that is my view and I would have him in the run on side.

Shouldn’t you be in school?

I suppose you could be a 15yo drop out, that could also make sense.

I mean “thadumb”, seriously, are you a teenager.
I’m not the one who calls himself Thadius after his favourite inter galactic hero in a universe far far away keep on trekking lol
