Rnd 4 Team vs Wtigers

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I'm hoping for Hayne's court case to be our season turning point...if we could snag a few wins before hand that will be a bonus..

Unless they settle or she withdraws the claim then I wouldn't expect that to be decided this season.

Oh I wasn't expecting a decision.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I have to say I don't hate the look of that side. Maybe Smith is my most doubtful selection but he might provide more enthusiasm and support, even with the odd mistake. Pleased to see Williams in and also Terepo. And I don't mind the forced absence of Evans. He might be the body shape we're after but you still have to earn your spot and pull your weight. I'm not sure he did either.

Kane sure isn't alone there.

Have you not learned how to do this in one go?
You just press reply and type under it rather then press reply and post before writing message.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Don't mind the forwards, but love to have gutho/Hayne / French in the backs.

Great, I was wondering wtf was happening.

Yeah I’d also have the forwards and bench as our full strength option, perhaps Evans comes back once he offers a bit more.

Backline when those 3 are back looks ridiculous though!
1. Gutho
2. French
3. Hayne
4. Jennings
5. Auva’a

Swap Hayne and Auva'a and you have a backline.

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

All Hayne wants is the 1 on his back. I say give him that #1 and play him on the wing. Win/win.

You might be happy to have a violent thug take up half a million of the cap like he is at the Tigers. I'm not.[/QUOTE]No I'd prefer someone who has learnt his lesson and starts contributing positively to society. I'm not into laying the boot in when someone on the ground and giving everyone a second chance. Blow that and you're out (of the country in his case).

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Wing is our weakest position and Hayne is our best winger. But the media narrative of 'dropped' to the wing could be a massive distraction.

 

[Glenneel]

But I thought BA never made any changes?

Most of the changes are due to injuries. Has he dropped anybody for poor form yet?

 

[Happy MEel]

Then why are you so pro-Packer?

 

[Glenneel]

For sure but that massively disrupts the team. Could all be avoided with your suggestion of Hoff to "1".
FFS, BA. arent you reading this stuff?

No Gazz he prefers to make his own decisions. Poor demented bloke, if he listened to us we'd be 3-0 rather than other way around. FFS what is wrong with him?

f**k the narrative! You're right he is our best winger and that's what he is worth to us at the moment. Bring him into games and let him score some tries again.

I said it before the season kick off, Hayne on the wing is a very good buy for us. It has to happen. Hayne / French wings, Avauv'aaaa Jennings Centre, Guth #1 when back.

 

[Glenneel]

Williams and Scott have won premierships and played Origin. They have to be in the team. They have an influence beyond just their physical contribution.

Cannot agree with you here Pou. Unless they can contribute ON the field I don't care how good they are elsewhere. Success is judged by winning not good captaincy. If good criteria was good captaincy then lets put 17 Mannahs on the field. Sorry lets change that to 17 Beau Scotts, regardless of his poor form so far, we'd certainly win the captaincy game but not the match.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Scott has only played two games and we kept the opposition to four tries combined.
