Match Discussion: Round 14 vs South Sydney @ Stadium Australia

[slotmachine]

Souths are resting half their team so will only win by 20.

 

[Jono078]

Including this upcoming week, this is where he's played his 50;

5/8th	26​
Bench	7​
Hooker	7​
Fullback	4​
Wing	2​
Halfback	2​
Centre	2​

Definite upgrade on Musgrove

Definite upgrade on Musgrove

Hope so! I was going to say maybe we should give this a go, just don't know if he has any history as a winger.

 

[PhilGould]

Hasn't exactly been left a high bar by Musgrove. I would guess Tuala shifts to left wing and Young plays outside Mann on the right.

 

[Yosh]

I think Tuala is far superior on the left than the right. I have absolutely no statistics and data to back up that statement but my two cents.

 

[Old dog]

Before he came here he was a centre, not a halve or Hooker but a centre

 

[Old dog]

Tuala is only a left side player, preferably wing tha centre

Fingers crossed we can cause a massive upset today...

I'm more confident about this one than I was last week. Longest odds to win of the round though.
Missing Ponga big time. There isn't a single wow factor in the team.

NSW Cup is on Fox now

Totally carving it up. Hodgson has settled in.
Hosking looks good. A goal kicker who can kick helps.

 

[Yosh]

Hodgson looks kinda small? Dufty size? Very agile in attack but hasn't been tested at the back at all. If he is our future fullback I hope we sign two big wingers in the mold of Maika Sivo.

Gagai and Mitchell's brothers look like they only made it on the team due to their brothers. Didn't we have Jacob Gagai on our books for a while?

Tautau Moga looks like he is enjoying bullying the kids out there. Thank God we got rid of him.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Didn't we have Jacob Gagai on our books for a while?

Yeah. 8 think it's one of those two for one deals.

 

[PhilGould]

Defends like his brother but with none of the attacking ability. Amazing that he's still getting opportunities.

Just got smoked by Dylan Lucas after busting the line. One on one in the backfield, Gagai may as well not have been there.

Lucas with 4 today, 2 long range. Looks fantastic. Simi a double himself. Centre no issue at cup level.

 

[aqua_duck]

I like the look of Jacob Kiraz, only 19 years old, prototypical build for a modern winger at 6'2 and around the 95kg mark, was marking up against Josh Mansour today and more than held his own

Lucas with 4 today, 2 long range. Looks fantastic. Simi a double himself. Centre no issue at cup level.

Both were great but the caveat was it's at Cup level.
I'd give Lucas an Nrl cap if we find ourselves short. At least put him in the squad for experience.

Jesus their bench could do some real damage.
