I now think that Robinson should start. Why? Well, because he's a workaholic tackling machine.

Plus all those tackles will be quality. He was averaging 0.0 mistakes a match late 2004 and i watched him the finals and his front on defence is very strong. He doesnt full smash people like Morley or Wiki but he stops players dead in their tracks.

I totally forgot about Chad.

Depth baby depth!!!!!!

IMHO, Morris needs to get out of dummy half.

He does not make enough impact.

Gee i dont knoiw about that. In my opinion John is a terrific hooker.

we know he can do it well but didn't show it last season.

Who knows what the front row will be.

If everyone's fit and paying to their ability we have in no particular order: Cayless, Cannings, Tsoulos, Stringer, Vella & Robinson not to mention young players Hauraki & Cordoba.

Robinson is more likely to come off the bench

Well see I think Morris is a good hooker. But not the type of hooker I'd play.

I like my hookers torun from dummy half often, a la Riddell or Marsh. Which is why I like the Riddell/Marsh combination, because the impact is staggering.

I fully agree in regards to Riddelll/Marsh.

don't rule out Moi Moi, Peek and Lewis! ;-)

 

[Avenger]

Morris is a solid player but an ordinary hooker. Brian thinks so too that is why we just bought 3 replacements.

 

[The Colonel]

I doubt there would be a better acting half rotation than Marsh/Riddell at any other team.

 

[The Engineers Room]

Morris really must stay in the halves. His partner would be out of Tim Smith or PJ Marsh. Personally I think Tim Smith isn't ready based on last years performances but he might have really come along.

Given we're not going to be interchanging our backrowers, hindy morrison and wagon, we might actually see more of Fui, because smith will have more flexibility with his interchanges and could you him more in shorter bursts!

 

[Jake the snake]

I'm really doubting morrison can last the Whole 80 and even Wagon as well. Hindy just does it and even he needs a rest sometimes.

 

[Pazza]

Same here Jake, why would you want guy like Cayless, Robinson and Stringer playing such short spurts? it is going to decrease their effectiveness.

 

[Utey]

Same. But they must be working their asses off already to try to. Wagon can but if we are winning games he comes off around the 65th.

Why speculate who will or won't play the full 80 minutes. The bench is to cover any eventuality (injury/tiredness), it will be determined game by game who needs a rest and when.

The bench will try to cover all possibilities with two props, a second rower and a hooker/half. Players in the mix will include Tsoulos, Vella, Robinson, Widders, Afamasaga, Henderson, Russell etc

Exactly. Hindy isnt up for 80 mins sometimes.
