After another woeful performance from the side I had hoped that Hook would wield the axe.
The problem is the juniors aren’t physically and mentally ready.
Matt Dufty is as we all know rocks and diamonds. Yesterday was probably his worst performance for the club after playing very well the week before.
If Hook drops him who will replace Dufty?
Ramsey, Sloan or Lomax.
If Hook thought Ramsey was ready he would have played him this week at fullback. The fact that Sloan is in the 21 is a bad sign for Ramsey.
Norman has had his best season so far for the club. But he isn’t the gun 6 we need.
If Sullivan were fit I think Hook would have selected him. He doesn’t think Amone is ready but Hook acknowledges he is a talent and doesn’t want to burn him by throwing him into the key role of 6 yet.
We have had a number of players either suspended or out with head knocks.
Fully fit a pack made up of:
Vaughan
Macca
Macguire
Sims
Bird
JDB
Faamasuli
Alvaro
Kerr
Ford
should hold its own. Yet they have been lifeless for most of the past 9 weeks. Gone is the enthusiasm. The forwards are not buying in. Why, I don’t know.
I would play Matt Fegai and Rava as our wingers.
Lomax and Max Fegai as the centres.
Williame and Beale are good back ups but we need to find out whether these juniors will ultimately make top first grade players.
It’s a fine balance. Do we try to win more games or blood the juniors.
I would blood the juniors. Those that show the dedication, desire and talent will make it. The others will fail.
Better to play the kids who will give it everything than the more “experienced” players who simply don’t really care whether they win or lose.
Hell I would rather see the Jersey Flegg side turn up!!!
