Yeo to prop. The man can do anything

He has been killing it when going to the middle the last few games. Prop might be his best position, his speed and support play through the middle is great and he sees more ball which is always good for us.

If no one backs up I'd run like this:

DWZ
Crichton
Blake
Whare
Phillips
Luai
Wallace
JFH
Katoa
Merrin
May
CHN
Yeo

Egan
Tamou
Kikau
Ellis

Though you'd think Peachey would get limited Minutes in SOO

I would probably pick may over luai as he has a lot more experience and has played games under pressure.

May in backrow gives us the chance to play a 5/8th either side of the ruck. May would be the 1st half picked if we only need one

My 21 would be:

1. Dwz
2. Crichton
3. Whare
4. Blake
5. Philips
6. Luai
7. Wallace
8. Mez
9. Katoa
10. JFH
11. Yeo
12. CHN
13. May

14. Egan
15. Kikau
16. Ellis
17. Tamou

18. Maloney
19. Cleary
20. RCG
21. Peachey

Really outside of where we use players the roster picks itself. Depending on who backs up though it could change alot.

Personally I would rest Maloney if all were fine to play. If they are let May have a run at 6 with Cleary. I would consider it for after Origin 3 also. Help keep him fresher for finals. Maloney is much older than the others and played far more minutes than them already too.

They've only played May at 1,6 and 7 in his 3 games in Cup.
Can't see him been used as a backrower but see your point

Luai played in the world cup.

I can see Cleary and Peachey backing up.

We'd have Wallace, Katoa, Egan, Luai and May but are short a forward. So one of them needs to play forward

Luai to prop.

Seriously though May to 13 or back row is the logical choice here I'm guessing? He can play as an extra 6 on the field with a good running game?

 

[OldPanther]

This is gold.

 

[Westernised Panther]

Peachey will most likely back up, depending on how many minutes he plays

 

[Kev07]

Katoa can play in the forwards
I think the club having played Luai & May together in Cup last week and resting both this week is the direction there heading

That works for the Warriors game when Hetherington and possibly Leota are back. We need the forward help atm

 

[franklin2323]

Peachey will most likely back up, depending on how many minutes he plays

barring injury he should only get 20 minutes or so and could either start or be an bench forward

 

[franklin2323]

I was thinking that. Luai attacks one side May the other with Wallace controlling the middle good thing is the bye this week. We can try stuff at training over 2 weeks

 

[OldPanther]

So Cleary said in an interview he and Brandy are really close these days. Turns out his playing mates aren't all he has here. Excellent [Insert evil laugh].

 

[martielang]

I reckon Peachey will get more than that. Wouldn't surprise me if he comes on after 30 & plays the rest of the game.

Bit random, but does anyone happen to have the price list for the food kiosks at the stadium? I have a uni assignment on stadium pricing so if anyone could help me out that would be tops

Freudian slip?

Sounds like a good excuse to go to the footy.
