After the past 9 weeks, I have some serious propositions I think the club should consider on the field.
The reshuffling has to stop, its killing us structurally and its destroying any hope of momentum.
So here's my proposal, mixed with succumbing to the fact that certain players just won't be dropped.
1 - Ryan - has proven he can contest and more often than not, catch high balls. He runs back with venom and is great out of dummy half.
2 - Reddy - Sheens has a love affair with the bloke so he won't get dropped. He has a good offload and could possibly play a similar role to Utai.
3 - Ayshford - shown recently why he should be in the starting side, but only in spurts, slowly improving. Big enough to be a solid defender and has a good step. Is also hard to get down.
4 - Lawrence - Leave the kid at Centre. He just started showing an improvement last week. He runs hard and straight and is a good defender.
5 - Tuqiri - Sheens won't drop him, although he deserves to be dumped. However, if he's playing outside Lawrence there's a good chance he may not rush up and in defensively.
6 - Marshall - Natural position, tell the prick to run straight more!
7 - Moltzen - He's more out of harms way here and he won't be getting dropped.
8 - Woods - Brilliant this year
9 - Farah - Given
10 - Galloway - Needs to step up more. Too many times, especially on restarts, he gets the ball and just ambles up. Fire up f**k!
11 - Bell - He's defending at second row, may as well put him there until Ellis returns.
12 - Fulton - Given
13 - Blair - He won't be getting dropped and he's standing wide enough to be centre a lot of the times, just make him lock and get him out of the middle and allow the forwards willing to do some work to be left to their devices. He may prove to be useful acting as a third centre running off Lawrence/Marshall/Moltzen
14 - Cashmere for now. Hasn't done much wrong. Heighington should play from here. He can interchange with Bell. I think Hino with less game time should see him be a much better player and probably run with a bit more venom.
15 - Moors - Can swap with Galloway
16 - Murdoch Masila - Can Swap with Woods
17 - Humble/Chisholm - someone who can cover fullback/wing and halves with a bit of creativity/flair in attack and with some speed.
At least with this squad we wouldn't have massive positional changes every time a benchie comes onto the field.
It does lack pace outwide, but we haven't really got anyone good enough with pace to put on the wings, so we just have to make do with what we have.
I'd love to see Koroibete in NRL, but it's just not looking likely, unless a few of our backs get injured.
