I have not watched the replay yet, but if you read the press this morning they are saying stuff like

"The game was played with a finals intensity and was marked by huge hits and several flashpoints in the second half."

Looking forward to watching it from an unemotional POV.
Also things like, game of the year. Which admittedly is probably a bit OTT, but still, it was a good game.

Bench must be shaken up.

BA needs to make the adjustment.

Hopefully Stone has a blinder for Wenty. He brings energy. Nikauore, Taka,Stone and Terepo are a much better bench. Stone can also give Mahoney a rest.

I do think we have to bite the bullet and dump :oops: Will Smith on bench to provide the 10 minute break for Mahoney.

Who’d a thunk we’d be missing Kaysa this much

Id have Stone.
You have him come on at 33rd min. And Mahoney comes back on at the 47th.
Stone can then spend some time in middle.

Surely Salmon offers more as a bench utility than Smith.
We just need someone to play dummy half for 10 minutes. I don’t think Salmon is a hooker (punny enough?) nor do I think it’s in our best interests in terms of his development playing him in that role for 10 minutes a week.
Smith risks breaking my TV every time he touches ball, but is better than basically having 2 of your spine player (Mahoney/Gutho) taken out of attack

Salmon is as much of a hooker as Smith, but without the brain farts IMO.

I have a ticket to the Logan Bogans v The Ipswich Rum Munchers this weekend if you are interested @strider.

Seats are on the half way line. I have a spare mouthgard that you can borrow.
As enticing as that sounds, im pretty sure i have to clip my toe nails at whatever time thats on

Either is the fresh prince
Playing Salmon 10 minutes a week in a position you don’t view him ever playing long term is a waste of development time. He’s a better player than Smith but I’d prefer he matured more in reserves than for sake of handful games in a season where no ones expecting us to do much
