Our best backline?

[strider]

Tahu to wing. Awesome winger, good centre.
Doesn't like to pass as was evident when he passed too late to Guru. On the wing he doesn't need to catch and pass. States he doesn't want to play wing, but hes going to union therefore shouldn't have a choice. Mind you he needs to be in the team.

I agree he generally doesn't give his winger good service when he plays in the centres - i think there was at least one try gone begging where all he had to do was shovel it to grothe

BUT - I think he'd see much less ball on the wing and he is too good to be wasted on the wing .... he wouldn't have been wrapping infield for that try today had he been camped on the wing

woohoo - benny misses one game through injury, so lets lay the boot in and piss him off :roll:

who is laying the boot in and saying piss him off? :?

 

[Stagger eel]

now i have a 5 year old that wants a pair

could be worse, he could be attracted to Aaron Cannings boots.

 

[strider]

who is laying the boot in and saying piss him off? :?

u want him on the wing then?

 

[fish eel]

u want him on the wing then?

go back and read my first post strides and then show me where I actually said who should play where and ben smith should be in PL. All I've done is pose some questions for discussion. Hell I even said benny had been playing better, so if that's laying the boot in....

I'm thinking your man crush on benny is making you a wee bit sensitive.;-)

 

[jayjayselmes]

Take it on good authority that there is no way in hell Ben Smith will lose his spot.

thats a fact!

u said - benny's been playing good but u want tahu and inu on either side like today .... then u 2 other alternatives - inu to PL or tahu to wing .... so clearly you first suggestion meant benny either wing or PL - am i wrong?

i'm thinking u r being a bit sensitive yourself by resorting to bagging me off with the "man crush" comment :lol: ..... I am entitled to have an opinion that benny is a very good player for our backline aren't I? does it have to imply i am gay or something? :lol:


Inu was VERY average last monday - but he was very good today - bit up and down ..... benny has been solid all year, I think he's earnt a spot .... Inu can still be very good at fullback or wing

 

[fish eel]

strides...if you read my post again....you will see where I said tahu on one side, inu on the other, has a question mark after it, thereby making it a question.

 

[strider]

yeah - and a suggestion at the same time surely?

 

[dazeely]

1. Hayne or Inu
2. Hayne, Inu or Tahu
3. Benny
4. Tahu or Inu
5. Guru

Good luck Hags. Good predicament to be in though. My preferences are underlined if I was coach.

 

[Stagger eel]

I like Flatch's backline myself..INU at F/B and Jazz back on the wing..giddyup!!

 

[fish eel]

yeah - and a suggestion at the same time surely?

no, otherwise i would have said as much. i'm actually with flatch.

 

[strider]

no, otherwise i would have said as much. i'm actually with flatch.

ok - cool - my bad .... we agree benny at centre is our best option :thumn

 

[fish eel]

2nd best after tahu.

it was mouth watering though, having tahu and inu on either sides, when they are on song.....but burty's injury means they can all fit in

 

[Bazal]

Tahu is leaving anyway...no offence but if he wants out he can play where the heck he's told to. I'd have

1-Hayne
2-Tahu
3-B Smith
4-Inu
5-Grothe

 

[strider]

i didn't mean benny is our best centre :lol: ... but the team's best with him as one of the centres

hagan kept saying "these things work themselves out" in regard to fitting everyone in the team - unfortunately he's been right so far - hopefully there'll be no more "working out" (ie injuries) the rest of the year tho - joel is a handy to fill in and has done very well but i'd like to see others there
