Couldn't agree more mate and I really don't know why Seibs did that yesterday. We've seen the impact the likes of Tatola can have if they come on lateish in the first half so why can't we go back to that?
I'm not sure why Seibs has suddenly changed tactics but we are paying the price no doubt.
I wouldn’t be dropping Sutto to the bench that’s stupidity. In the first half he was creating and he’s important to our left edge.Been thinking about it
14. Sutto (can cover the halves, forwards and even in the centres if needed)
15. Britt (size off the bench and will add more to the side then Clark)
16. Tatola ( needs to play longer minutes in my opinion)
17. Johnstone ( young dark horse I think both Burgess boys needed a rest during the game, give the kid a run say 25 mins or so)
Sam Burgess can move to Prop during the game as well if needed
I would have Murray at 13 and Sam Burgess on the edge
You can definitely see the wear and tear out their. The guys were out on their feet with 30 to go. When Tatola came on for Tom, behind the posts both Sam and Angus needed to come off as well. Fui should of come on for Sam at the same time, Sam was a passanger for the last 20 anyway.It is not a matter of "dropping" players to the bench. It is a good strategy to have some of your best players on the bench. If the games starts badly they can come on and turn the tide. If the game starts well they can come on and put the opposition away
Seibs must have missed the coaching class on using the bench. He thinks he can win by only using 14 or 15 players week in week out. All this does is wear out your best players over the long season
In both the Titans and Canberra games he refused to use Fuimaono even though the players out on the field were struggling and Fuimaono could not have done any worse

Sorry I don’t think Seibs will pick Johnstone.
I believe he will stick with Clarky.

By the way Johnstone is injured dunno what with though.I hope you are wrong with Clark

Having the utility on the bench isn’t going to change. I don’t believe the forwards are tired we just killed ourselves with errors and our completion rate. We were dominating in the first 20 on the weekend but we reverted back to old habits (2016, 2017) and kept making silly errors which resulted in a lopsided possession count. It’s simple footy and there’s no reason to start swinging the axe on a team that’s been winning for the majority of the season.
Can’t see Clarky missing out.Cheers mate I do think we need two props off the bench.
I would leave Clark out of the side after last weeks performance
Can’t see Clarky missing out.
Well if Jennings is back our bench could very well beSomeone has to make way then
Well if Jennings is back our bench could very well be
Hunt
Murray/George
Clark
Tatola
I don’t think there will be mass changes either.I don’t think so
