Next weeks team

[bubblesunlimited]

The side needs to remain as, with Benjamin and Farah slotting into 6 and 9.

Even the Burger of Junior can stay.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Wouldn't get too worked up, Sheens never talks his players up and always says to the media they have work to do. Seriously, when have you heard Sheens gush about Benji? He always plays it down, which is the way to go. And he should be doing it in particular for Head, bearing in mind he's playing for a contract.

Having said that, if Head is punted I'd be stunned. That would surely be the most puzzling selection choice in Sheens' long history of puzzling selection choices.

 

[netic]

Head has to be in the team, Finally we have someone that can steer our players around.......cant wait to see Head, Hodgo, Benji and Robbie on the same field

 

[Marshall_magic]

When Farah comes back it's a straight swap for Flanagan.

When Benji comes back he goes to 5/8, Morris to the bench, Halatau to centre and Lawrence to the wing, Junior Burger to NSW cup.

yep its that simple

but i would only be playing Farah 55 mins Morris gets the other 25 we dont need that back playing up again

 

[aids]

differnt people need differnt types of feedback and attitude to get the best results.
Head was treated like a mate by Brown, and as a result probably was motivated to his potential.
sheens is probably being a bit rough with Head becuase that's the way he likes it.


Morris cops enough negative feedback from you mugs so having the coach bag him out wouldn't be the best thing.

1. Hodgo
6. Marshall
7. Head
9. Farah

14. Morris.

 

[rupertpupkin]

Junior Burger to NSW cup.

Agreed. But it ain't gonna happen. Coach has a boner for the Mac, and J-Mo. There are long, overs contracts to be justified. Suspect it will continue to be a package deal. If you want Head at halfback, you have to take both J-Mo and Mac also. Take it, or leave it.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Well if that's the case, I hope we play Souffs every week...

 

[Papa_smurf]

Ive never seen the forum this agreeable before.

Ild also be looking at bringing up Tandy for Galea.

 

[magpie_man]

He may well shift Benji to centre and Lawrence to wing
Either way even the stubborn tom shines will acknowledge there is no room for morris and junior burger

oh please god no.

 

[themanonthehill]

Tandy looked good in a badly beaten side. Gave Youngquest a gobfull at one point. Lewis Brown also looked very good in a badly beaten side.

 

[Navjot]

Head will be retained at 7 , a sheens smokescreen from a mile away u can see, benji maybe could start in the 6 or maybe off the bench when the sting out of the game first 20 mins, i like flanagan to remain on bench if farah comes back, maybe for payne, and the halatau / lawrence idea is good, halatau at 9 even worked well yesterday, he made good metres like in 05 year.

Bloody well hope so. Sheens can be an obstinate.

No-one has a higher opinion of Marshall than me, but given his terrible run with injuries, time and time again, I wouldn't be disappointed with a conservative approach (for now).

1. Hodgson
2. Tuiaki
3. Collis
4. Lawrence
5. McDonell
6. Morris
7. Head
13. Fulton
12. Heighington
11. Payten
10. Gibbs
9. Farah
8. Galloway

14. Marshall
15. Halatau
16. Payne
17. Teo

I can understand why Sheens might opt to delay Benji's intro into the game but don't you think he would be hesitant to field two little men on the bench after the last disaster? If you want to run Benji on after 20, what utility would Morris serve after this point? Halatau is an adequate replacement for Farah should he succumb to an injury or simply lack match fitness...

If I were to start Benji from the bench I'd prefer to see Fulton in the 6. That would allow Fulton to resume a position in the forwards once Benji comes on and it avoids the possibility of a bench of pigmies.

If Benji starts...

2. Lawrence
3. Halatau
4. Collis
6. Benji
7. Head
9. Farah
14. Morris (as a contingency... probably best to err on side of caution when the core of the side is injury prone! I suppose he could fill in in the centres...)

 

[themanonthehill]

Junior burger to PL and shift lawrence so either halatau or benji can play centre. Shines is already in the papers indicating johnny cronk will be moved to halfback where he has excelled to accommodate benji's return. If shines drops head for this prick morris, I hope you rose tinted fools all wake up and see shines for what he is - a stubborn, obstinate, egotisitical, past it prick

 

[Adman]

Morris 7
Marshall 6
Flanagan 9

Head Dropped

I reckon thats the way it will be played

 

[Spank]

^^ I hate to say it but i think you might be right Adman

 

[smeghead]

Tandy looked good in a badly beaten side. Gave Youngquest a gobfull at one point. Lewis Brown also looked very good in a badly beaten side.

Now that Flanno is gone surely he must be close to a call up. He is for mine a better version of Halatau and Morris in the utility roll.

Halatau will hopefully be played at centre to accomodate a Lawrence shift to the wing

 

[alien]

12. Heighington
