7. Burt
8. Cayless

defensive issues?

unless u meant Halfback for Wenty

 

[tollgateadzy]

I thought the forwards are the ones who are supposed to tackle ???

 

[bartman]

You've left Riddell right out of the equation altogether?

And I don't think shifting Burt to 7 so Hayne can end up as 1 is the answer...

Glad you've got K Keating on the bench there - think that's the one change we do need, with M Keating starting and Riddell starting in the back row (leave Mateo starting at 6, until KK comes on). Would prefer Cordoba over Hauraki as well.

 

[barney gumble]

Not with Finch at #6

3/4s of the halfbacks in the NRL have defensive issues

Luke Burt to reggies....
He can play where he wants there.

 

[Twizzle]

at least you got Mateo in his right position

 

[The Engineers Room]

Burt has the ability to be a halfback but not the experience and I doubt Parramatta fans are patient enough to wait for him to work on his game there.

Maybe 5/8th but he will be the spot player on the front line. At FB, it's usually one on one defense or if he gets confronted with 2, he picks one and then a try is scored. That's where Wade was awesome, he would pick the right one often than not. He would shoulder charge or even go for a strip.

I still recon we should try Inu at 6 ala Kenny if KK is not considered

1. Burt
2. Reddy
3. Smith
4. Hayne
5. Grothe/TT
6. Inu
7. Finch
13.Mateo

Surely KK is the long-term choice, but I agree Inu could be sensatonal at 6.

 

[ParraAds]

What on earth has Inu done to suggest he would be good at 6???

Alot of good running 5/8ths were centres. I think having Inu rove rather than stand wide would be awesome. He could follow Mateo around, he could add a chip and chase on the 5th, at 2nd receiver he could run onto the ball and not stand flat like alot of our playmakers, etc.

I don't know if he would be good or not but putting the ball more in Inu's hands anywhere on the park must be a good thing, no?
