And they dropped Niu as well. f**k! I was hoping Wayne would give Niu another week, he is hopeless that bloke

Bit of a strange one with JDB back to 13, and only 1 prop on the bench (that prop being MMolo).. not exactly sure what Flanno has in mind with Leilua and RFM... maybe one is being run as a middle, but I dont love it, I dont quite see what the rotation will be... however who knows maybe Sele will come in late yet.. maybe there is still some tweaks to happen.

Geez thats a fair sized bench.. not sure how we will counter that with our current one.

 

[SEAT 1A]

Wayne won't let them play crap 2 weeks in a row.

First test for Birdy, up against Herbert and run at Kody all day.

We are a bit light on with the interchange. Eisenhuth and JDB will need a rest and Luc's first game.

Hopefully, Kyle and Slone can find space in the middle.

Should get the chocolates in a tight one.

MMolo retains his spot which I'm glad he did, we will have to dig deep again but I think we would have them in the backs. If we can maintain the attitude in defence we will win in a close one, Dragons by 6

quick slide for Ben Murdoch-Masila, could be next to go to the uk

When Francis comes off, RFM on to right edge, Eisenhuth to the middle, and JDB to prop maybe? I don't love it and I'd way prefer Fifita over M Molo for a different body shape, more impact off the bench, etc. I wouldn't be at all shocked to see Sele come in and RFM or Molo to drop off. Again, we have options which is a good thing, hopefully we get it right.

I would've gone on the bench considering Lawrie is playing: 14. Muhleisen 15. Lawrie 16. Fifita (Sele if he can play) 17. Luc

JDB starting prop with F Molo, Eisenhuth 13 and RFM 11.

 

[justadragon]

It wasnt that long ago that were struggling for a forward pack, now we cant make up our minds who goes where. Oh well as long as Flanno has the plan I'll be happy.

 

[This Year?]

Looks like a middle assault from Wayne. This could play into our hands if we play it right. Some players in that Dolphins squad always lift against us, so I don't think this will be easy.

Up tempo , hold the ball and gas em out.

Hopefully Wayne is still holding back and letting the new coach find his feet.

Thats the only explanation I can come up with, from Sundays game.

GetSmarty always used to do it, but he got pissed off by a few members and now I dont think he even posts anymore, shame really. Dragon David now does it, so thanks DD.

18. Viliami Fifita
Hmmmm not in the 17?

Hope they both have a nice day.

5 minutes into the charity shield it was apparant that our pack was not going to be an issue this year

the answer to "what do we do with their bench" is obvious ... we smash them

 

[thebigredv]

Trust the coach's call on this forwards even if I would do things differently I don't see the whole week at training or even some of the small things that happen on the field. Sele and Fifita will get their turn in good time.

 

[kit66]

18. Viliami Fifita
Hmmmm not in the 17?

The Dolphins pack are very experienced and I think the plan is to ease Fifita in so maybe save him for another day and let our experienced hard heads look after this one.

I think Bennett is playing silly buggers. Max Plath is listed as a halfback on their NRL page, 87kgs and just 3 games under his belt - I'd be surprised if he plays starting lock. Bennett doesn't mind moving players around but this ones a bit iffy.

Wallace particularly looks like Beetson against us.
