Plenty of good options but none are half as good as Turbo or Latrell (as a centre, god awful fullback)

None of the 3 options are in the Wighton/Gutho farce from a few years ago

 

[soc123_au]

Staggs right, Crichton left seems pretty much the best option. Can put To'o on the left with Crichton and Luai.

This is what I'd go with. You could also go Burton instead of Crichton.

With Tommy and Fatrell out Crichton will be needed as backup fullback I think

Also depending who is 14 wing cover too.

Id easily back Hynes on the wing, he's so much better than Simple Jack

I'd pick the pack 1st and go from there.

Hynes gets it if the backrow can play 80.
Also depends who is 2nd row affects who is centre

Overthinking it

Overthinking it

Not really. Fatrell, Tom Turbo, Murray and Papenhuyzen is 4 of the top 17 out

Frizzell, Sims, Saifiti playing garbage

Likely blood a few rookies. Given you heve limited preparation time you want club combos if you can

Murray looks like he'll play

It's our comp to lose guys

It's looking that way. We killed the Storm last week and now the Cows are sodomising the corpse.

50 is on here

Cows did the same as us last week. Couldn't turn the chances into points for the final humiliation.

I agree but think Matterson will come in on the bench can play middle or edge and could possibly fit in at centre in case of injury

 

[Iamback]

A fit Cam Murray changes it

AtM you have either old busted experienced guys.

Or rookies and with 2 new centres is a tough balancing act

I think we’ll see a very different game plan this year. With Turbo and Latrell we built the attack around putting them into space and one on one. The few years before that it was more focused on Cook and Teddy shredding the Maroons through the middle.

Teddy/Cook will be more of a focal point this year and then I think we’ll see Freddy really lean into the Penrith left edge. That entire left shape could be Penrith, although not the left edge that plays together, they know each other’s games well though. Capewell, DCE, Gagai is a pretty good right defensive edge but we could certainly rinse Coates.

You missed Spencer; do you think he has a chance for Origin (I do).

Thats a very big call. I thought he be starting for us by now but he's not really improving like I hoped
