Not sure what Mitchell did wrong??? Rogers dropped a ball which lead to a try and Smith continues to offer nothing. He either starts of doesn't play IMO. Good to see Loko and Atkins get another run.

How can you drop Anthony Mitchell?
MADNESS
I don't know what he did to deserve the axe
He barely got any decent game time against the storm anyway.

What's with this Billy Rogers love? Mitchell played quite well last week considering. Especially with Casey Maguire under an injury cloud why not play him?

He got 45 minutes. That's the longest Casey McGuire's played in any game this year.

Don't understand the Billy Rodgers love from the coach. I see nothing in his game that will suggest he is a good player. Can't believe Mitchell was dropped from 14 for him!!!!

Yeah but Casey's been alongside a second hooker in MK in every match.
It's been tough to find the balance with the two.
As evidenced by his chopping and changing with their starting positions.

Mitchell was our only hooker on Sunday, and he pulled him off the field.

I really hope he doesn't do the same with McGuire this week.
If they're not going to play 80 mins, and I really wouldnt expect them too, I think kearney should name a bench hooker as a replacement.
We have the luxury of having three competent hookers at the club. That's pretty rare. And now that we have an injury, he still wants to name only one and play robson as a makeshift hooker?
It's silly

I actually doubt this will be the side, we have made a minimum of two late changes every week. Kearney seems to just put up a team on Tuesday and work out the real team later. We have used 26 players so far, I think he plans to see a few more..

It wouldnt shock me if Whatuira, Hicks or Walker got a run this week, with Loko back to the lower grades. I think Mitchell will end up on the bench....

Agreed. To be fair it made sense last week as Mitchell was the only hooker available and he wouldn't have been able to handle the 80 minute workload. This week though given Maguire is back from injury and Mitchell available it just makes sense for both of them to be in the side and interchange them when necessary. By the way who played half last week when Robson was moved to hooker?

I'd like to see Rogers offload to Hayne for him to break the line and dash downfield then pass inside to Loko to score under the posts.

Just so we could say Puffing Billy offloads to the Hayne Train who sets up the Loko-motive to score untouched.
