Next week..

[PARANoIR]

Who do you guys think should be our winger to replace Utai next week? Keeping in mind they'll be marking either Manu Vatuvei or Patrick Ah Van, both of which are very talented players, and very tall.

If we put Cutler in, he will be very suspect under the high ball, due to his lack of height, but I think he will have to be our best option, since Phelps is crap and Duvai is untested, and it is not the time to test him against the likes of Vatuvei.

Thoughts?

phelps back to the wing and williams back to centre since williams wont be in the pack once omely and mason are back anyway.

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

i think most likely cutler will play winger...

 

[Timmah]

Cutler won't play.

 

[PARANoIR]

Utai couldn't have picked a worse game to get suspended for.

 

[C.P]

Its hard to say. I think Phelps should get the nod, he was solid today and if they put Williams inside him at centre that should hopefully smother any potential problems caused by Phelps's lack of height and size

 

[bluenwhite]

um cutler is usually great under the high ball. he'll be fine there. better than some of the other options we have.

 

[Timmah]

bluenwhite, wake up mate.

We had 17 players who all played bloody well today.
One of those is highly unlikely to play on Sunday, and FOUR, possibly FIVE are making comebacks to the lineup.

There is no way Cutler will be selected.

 

[bluenwhite]

i didn't say he will be i said he will be fine there. are you blind?

 

[bigdogsgottaeat]

big surprise that bluenwhite gave his vote for Cutler... :roll:

At least if we pick him it'll make for some humorous forum conversations next week.

Phelps and Cutler are pretty similar in terms of size. The Dogs don't exactly pick wingers based on height, though. Utai could be the shortest man in football (his gerth makes up for his height, though!)

Phelps has had a good couple of games. Although Cutler might be more suited for the wing position, I think they'll struggle to overlook Phelps this week (now that Tonga and company are back).

 

[Jackal Dog]

Cutler will be a speed bump against Vatuvei....

 

[Timmah]

Phelps did well yesterday. There is no reason to drop him for Cutler at all.

Why can't you be objective for once bluenwhite?

 

[PARANoIR]

Neither Cutler or Phelps would be ideal to mark Vatuvei imo.

As mentioned above, he will be nothing more than a speed bump

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Patrick Ah Van is a pretty good young player, but he is only 183cm and 91kg and at this stage of his career I hardly think you need to take any special measures to contain him.​

 

[PARANoIR]

I was more so speaking of Vatuvei. And 183cm compared to Cutler is pretty tall.

I think I've got more faith in Ah Van than most of the Warriors faithful. I'm sure he could tear most sides apart, given the chance.

 

[atomic_crimson]

it will either be phelps or cutler... i do not see anyone else coming up unless emelio does? i don't know...

 

[jimmythehand]

emilio to centre, phelps to wing is my guess.

 

[Timmah]

4pm... and we'll know.
