Tracey will be centre, Ronnie back.

Either that or CT at Fullback?

I'm happy either way. CT justified his spot on the top 17 today.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Fitz just said half the team have been unwell. Gonna have to see how todays match impacts them next week.

I think they’ll go with

1 - Ronnie
2 - Katoa
3 - Sifa
4 - Tracey
5 - Ikavalu
6 - Moyza
7 - Nico
8. Rudolf
9. Brailey
10. Finucane
11. Wilton
12. Nikora
13. McInnes

14. Graham
15. William
16. Tolman
17. Fifita/Hunt

With the back 5 shake up, we might see Trindall on the bench to enable a reshuffle to cover for any backline injuries, but I think they’ll go with the team above.

Thanks, mate!!!

I definitely can see this. Least personnel changes and the back 5 will still have a lot of cohesion. Trindall will get another opportunity and will be the potential weak link in that line up. Hope he kills it in attack and defence.

I think this is what Fitz will go with, and is probably the sensible choice, but I hope Miller gets a shot as the bench utility as a Trindall insurance policy, not so much because I doubt Tricky, but because I want to see a bit more of Miller (although I think he is injured maybe?)

I'm not a big fan of chopping and changing 2/3 other positions to fill one that is vacant , too disruptive across the team , if we want to compete with the Panthers/Storm/Roosters then we need to get that next man up mentality , who that man is i will leave to Fitz but we need more depth than shuffling the deck chairs . Plus shunting Hynes around does nothing for his development .

Please no. He's been tried there and is terrible.

Of course they will. I think he was only left out yesterday because they needed forwards more against those huge Worrier pigs.

Besides, apart from yesterday Fitz has maintained faith in Trindall and there will be a reason for that.

You also have to have a fullback who knows how to talk and organise the defence.

Disagree. A game or two where he is comfortable can actually help. Give him a look at how the team is working from behind. Besides, playing him at fullback fits the next man up tenet if he's simply replace with a halfback.

Agree with not making multiple changes though.

 

[Special K]

They wanted to play Miller a few weeks back to give Will a rest but Will pushed back. If Miller is fit it’s the most logical choice.

Tracey to centre, Ronnie back. Ikuvalu still behind them as depth. Pretty decent

Love the attitude from Will. Could see it in his eye yesterday he knew he had done bad. Glad for him the boys got the W.

I think that was going to be from the bench though. Trindall 1/2, Hynes 1/1 and Miller bench is how I heard it was going to happen.

Why didn't Miller play this weekend? I think he was injured against Penrith but don't know what or how serious.

Shoulder injury I think.

 

[spirit of league]

I'm in the next man up. You don't mess up several positions to try to fix one.
Tracey in for Jesse. Lachie Miller in for Will.

But Fitz sees how they're going in training all week, hasn't made a single head-scratching WTF call yet so we can trust Coach to make the best call.
