[DJDL]

Swap Toby and one of either Tommy or BHU and I reckon you're on it.
Not sure if Williams is fit though.

 

[Peach & Apricot]

Why drop Katoa?

 

[Ozzi_78]

Why drop Katoa?

Suspended

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Yes he’s got one week for giving Cameron Murray an early shower.

 

[Poss]

Iro to wing and Sifa back to centre

I was thinking split Toby and Uele.
As he came back last night in firsts start with Rudolf.
Uele can be eased back in, Tooks played just 12 minutes last night, so Uele can easily do that

 

[DJDL]

Uele might even get another week in reggies to get some match fitness back.

 

[Tiger Shark]

I think he’ll be back this week and take Took’s limited minutes. Assuming Williams is fine to play so Tooks will go out for BHU.

The way we have been selecting the bench is now 4 middles including talakai there, so if no injuries during a game that's 7 middles 240 minutes about 35 each.

McInness 60 plus
Williams 50 plus
Hazelton 40

Straight up we are up 45 minutes

Kaufisi 30
Rudolf 30
Talakai 40
Tooks 15

You actually have 265 minutes I am being conservative on minutes, so easy to bring Uele back as he would need only to play 15 any more and a bonus

I’ve become an Iro fan.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Wing is the only spot we don't have covered atm with injuries during a game. See how Iro goes there. Had a shocker there if I remember in his only (and debut) appearance there 2 years ago.

Very few teams are covered if a winger goes down.
It's more a shuffle, Iro can handle that for part of a game and he would handle fullback.
If we lost one of our halves the shuffle would probably be more.
Brails into halves, McInness to hooker

Will never happen. DA is NMU in the halves. McInnes needed as a running forward to maintain the current process. Brailey has to be at hooker for the second phase of half 1 to maintain current process. Both have to be defending in the middle for the beginning of games. They do probably 50% of the defence in the guts in the first 20-25 minutes.

 

[Eion]

If we lost a half during a game and assuming DA isnt in the squad, I’d seriously think about Sifa as a stopgap 5/8, especially if his role is coming off the bench

 

[R-15-3]

If we lose a half mid game with no utility on the bench, Braily would be my cover with McInnes into hooker.

 

[Poss]

Other option could be Hiroti to wing. Did well in his limited chances last year

 

[Frenzy.]

If we lose a half mid game with no utility on the bench, Braily would be my cover with McInnes into hooker.

Left field for me. Kennedy to 6. Shuffle the rest around that.

Wouldn’t trust Kennedys defence in the front line.

Wouldn’t trust Kennedys defence in the front line.

It might help him actually. Less defensive decisions and more cover from inside and out - in theory.
