Armchair Coach/Selector time

[Bazal]

French and Evans are back next week. Who will play centre if Auva'a is unavailable? Nathan Davis might be the only option. Evans in for Brown.

What odds Evans starts at 13, do you think? It's a middle forward role these days and allows us to start Alvaro and Mannah for their defence while having our best metre maker out there from the start as well.

Or I suppose Alvaro could start 13 and Evans at prop. Same same

Yeah if KA is unavailable, our options may be limited, maybe:

Hoffman to centre / smith (if French is back) or Davis wing ?

Manu/Scott to centre ?

One thing I'd like to see changed - stop giving Manu Ma'u the first hit-up after a penalty, or a turnover.

Can I add Penis hands to that list? I don’t think there has been a player in history who drops the ball from a restart more than him.

Probably only Brent Kite. Maybe old faithful Jason Ryles....

Terepo wouldn't feature in my 17 at all, tbh.

Never rated him.

Was just about to post something about Peni. f**k his eyes.

His eyes are ok mate, it's his hands that are the problem

They’re penises FFS

Well that is certainly a problem....

Surely you're not suggesting putting Smith on the wing? Seriously, a back three of Smith, French and George Jennings?

It's far from my preference, but if your backline has several top liners out, your options are limted!! It's not like we have David Nofoaluma stuck in reserved grade!!

Who else would you pick?

Smith is in the team whilst French or Hayne or Gutherson are unavailable. After that he's back on the bench as a utility or Wentworthville.

I'd give Davis a game on the wing

So who is centre?

Hoffman

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Or George Jennings

French said on the 9 coverage he’d be sweet for next week.

I’d keep Smith at 1 for now and bring French in for Hoff. If one of Bev, Hayne or Gutho are on that wing today instead of Hoff we score 2 more tries and win it...

I'd be installing French at fullback immediately and giving Smith the flick. Hoffman was fine. Smith does some good things but f**ks up too often.

 

[hybrideel]

Hoffman was decent against the Tigers but was woeful yesterday. Bombed 2 tries in a game we lost by 6, granted we bombed about 2-3 others as well. Judging off the last 2 games ( I know it's a small sample size) I would definitely be keeping Gennings over him
