6, 7, 9, 14 Who would you pick?

With Timmy's injury it looks like there will be a re-shuffle in the halves this weekend. Who would you pick and why?

Having seen Jeremy Smith both at half & 5/8 this year in first grade I have to say he has looked alot better playing at 5/8.

Jeremy Smith is not a genuine match winner from what i've seen of him, nor is he a natural halfback. He's a good solid player who can slot in at 5/8 alongside a dominant half and do a good job with a nice short kicking game.

I know PJ hasn't played alot of halfback in recent years but he has played plenty of halfback in his career and has loads of experience compared to Jeremy. He'd be my pick at half especially after his impressive second half filling in for Timmy against the Knights.

I'd shift Johnny Morris into the hooking role and use Riddell off the bench either as a backrower or as a hooker if need be with the option of Morris moving into 5/8 as well if required.

6. Jeremy Smith
7. PJ

9. Morris

14. Riddell

I just don't think it's the right time or the right opposition to be blooding young Green just yet.

i agree on that one, i thought PJ went alright at half, and even if the game does not pan out that way, there is flexiblility to change.

 

[MarkInTheStands]

I would take 47 and a Powerball of 2

I think they showed in the second half on saturday night that PJ and morris should be the starting halves.

thats cool. i was thinkin of that one but bringin green in might not be right atm.

 

[forward pass]

I think you will find JT is a big fan of Jeremy Smith. He will most likely be in there at 6 or 7.

6. pj
7. morris
9. piggy

[Bigfella]

If it is to be one of the rookies I would go with mateo

The warriors are the most physically imtimidating side I can think of for a young (small) debutant to take on

 

[Redback71]

6/ morris
7/ j. smith
9/ ridell
14/ pj

[Jake the snake]

6. Green
7. Morris
9. Riddell
14. PJ

If Green gets nervy then PJ can come in for him. Jeremy Smith has no idea.

hello, my name is james... ive been reading these forums for a while now, and i like LU because it seems to be the most... well the best everything ;-)

i thought this was an appropriate time to register, and id have 2 agree with the idea of playing blakey, wether at 5-8 halfback i dont think will make tomuch difference. off the bench might be ideal, to be honest i dont think it matters as long as he is there. i have not been impressed with j.smith. he seems to be to predictable (i.e he doesn't change the direction of attack often, no inside balls). But then to contradict myself... i wouldn't be confident of playing green because it would be such a pressure situation to debu at, and if he played bad and was hook from the field it may kill his confidence.its a bit of a pickle, id hate to be the coach.
