Against Roosters, why not try:

1. Russell
2. Sivo
3. Penisini
4. Brown
5. Simonssen
6. Asi
7. Gutherson
9, Lussick
14. Hands (can cover 9 and 7 as needed)

Change it up and see whether some combos/new positions can work for next season.

I actually agree problem is next week he will be in the halves and Simmonson on the wing with Sivo...

Next year Asi needs to be our other centre

I wouldn't get that carried away, done his job for a backup, but we need to sign at least one, more like two quality outside backs.

Failing that then I'd give him a go to cement a spot.

Reality is this… the sky isn’t falling in. We’ve easily had the worst draw available on what is a completely uneven draw. We’ve been fked over by the judiciary and had an appalling run of injuries.

Our limitations in terms of outside backs has been exposed and it’s up to the club to rectify that for next season. A number of weeks ago I drew a line under this season as “one of those years”.

I don't have faith in our Recruitment team to sign someone better..

Dick Penisini may be the only option

Nah, you'd maybe think about swapping the King and Drown, but we need ball playing from our fullback, and I aint seen anything from Russell that says he's that guy.

Besides, Russell's been doing a job on the wing, just needs more games there I reckon.

Sure. But having 100 points scored against you by Storm and Brisbane doesn't really fit the script. The ealr losses in season where fine. But we've gotten much worse as the better sides warmed up. Id say we've been lucky early on in season tbh

f**k him off
