[Stagger eel]

Full time 40-18 Wests

A very disappointing end to the weekend.

How's Doolan going at halfback? Not sure he's our best option there.

Do you really think he was playing halfback? Try and look past the jersey number. I'd say Cornish was the one playing both sides of the ruck.

good to hear you were at the game pau. can you give us all a run down of what his role was yesterday?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Without being there mate, I can make a very confident guess. Doolan stuck exclusively to the right hand side of the field, and most times he handled the ball were at second receiver.

Meanwhile, Cornish (wearing jersey 6) played both sides of the field and mostly at first receiver. he would have handled the ball twice as often as Doolan and done nearly all of the kicking.

 

[Fanbase]

so all of that is a guess as you correctly put it. interesting guess.

Madden on the bench as 18th man. Anyone going to the game?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I will now Madden's got the call up!

Wenty highlights at three minutes and fourteen seconds: http://www.nswrl.com.au/news/2016/0....af_intrust-super-premiership-nsw_video1.html

There was at least one instance of Cornish playing outside Doolan on a left edge shift, so I was wrong about how Doolan would be used. They have swapped jersey numbers this week so I wonder if they will swap sides.

 

[Twizzle]

you were actually wrong Poo ??

 

[Poupou Escobar]

It happens. Just less often than others.

 

[Twizzle]

ah, that's more like it

I don't believe it .... these are just reserve graders - they were probably just accidently running in the wrong places on the field .... if they were first graders they wouldn't have got it wrong

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well whatever happened changes have been made for this week. They have swapped jerseys.

They are not reserve graders, they are depth quality first graders.

Speaking of which, Morgs is a late omission from Wenty's bench.

 

[Parra47]

We went down to Newtown 24 - 10

From the bench of Wenty to starting spot at a genuine Top 4 contender?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Given Melbourne have injuries in the outside backs you'd have to say he's gone from an unneeded backup at one club to a backup at a club with more need for him.

Even at full strength, outside of Will Chambers, their First Choice Options for the Centres for the rest of the year would all be considered back ups (Young Alphabet, Kenner and Hampton). Morgan would be a fair chance against those blokes. Bellyache will always choose a player for defence rather than attack.

Have Wenty won a game since they lost Kelly?
