Round 10 Vs Warriors

[herbert henry1908]

So happy mansour has been dropped he has been atrocious especially in defence.

Edwards’s deserves a shot at redemption, has been playing well in reserve grade.
Players need to know spots are based on form.

Fox seem to thing Ellis to lock and JFH into 2 row which is odd but does highlight how crap our depth is.

All predictions are we will once again waste a team spot with a second hooker and no luai

Luia not named in Canterbury Cup, so must be on the bench.

I don’t rate him as a hooker at all.

Even wing with DWZ centre works

The only problem then is we have two small wingers in Too & Aekins.

At least from memory Too isn’t that tall?

 

[lsta5838]

Yeah, not sure what Aekins did to get dropped? I know a lot of fullbacks bark out instructions to the defensive line and maybe we weren't getting this from him? Mansour had to finally been dropped (for me, in hindsight, probably 3 or 4 weeks late) but can't keep picking on reputation.

Daine Laurie in reserve grade now.

No not tall at all probably Mansour height.

That is a good point but zero errors and 150m a game seems too good to miss out given how poor we are playing

 

[franklin2323]

Daine Laurie in reserve grade now.

Development contract. Atleast until May is back no point playing him in flegg

 

[martielang]

Aekins may not have been the problem, but he's hardly set the world on fire. If Edwards has been killing it in the reserves I don't mind him getting a shot at redemption.

FWIW i've been a big defender of Edwards, so happy he's back.

But Aekins was given a very short period to show his worth & has done more than enough in NSW Cup to deserve a real shot. Looked more than solid i thought & something different to what we have - footwork & acceleration.

Should be in over Whare

Ivan normally doesn't name the other 4 down there until game day

He had a bit of footwork, but I really didn't see the acceleration. I don't watch a ton of NSW Cup, so maybe he wasn't showing it in first grade for whatever reason.

 

[unKwn]

website says egan wasn’t actually dropped but has been ruled out due to a shoulder injury

 

[age.s]

I like Martin starting. Hopefully we get to see much more of him and he kills it.

 

[franklin2323]

Sele being fit in the 17 over Fuimaono is much stronger. Make RCG and Mansour earn their spots back

 

[franklin2323]

He is great at defence. Can struggle in attack but atm I take good defence only over rubbish in both

 

[mxlegend99]

Ivan is f**king braindead. Fuimaono gets to keep a spot? Based on f**king what? Being the worst centre to pull on our jersey in a decade and also a shit second rower? Gotta love his versatility to be shit in 2 positions.

I think it was harsh on Aekins too... his NRL form was better than Edwards was. Dropping Mansour is awesome news and hopefully Edwards takes this chance with both hands to warrant replacing a guy who wasnt that bad.

RCG dropped is probably fair enough. But makes little sense when worse players with no upside have kept a spot.

Fair is fair. It was Hooks 2 wins and 7 losses in 2017 that turned me off him for good. Im now off Ivan for good also. Deadset f**k our board for knocking back Bennett.

A fit Sele pushes Fuimaono out you'd think

This!

Who’s corn flakes did Sele spit in to warrant another snub?!?

 

[panthersam]

Excited for the team changes. If we can’t manage to get a win then I hope we at least go back to being competitive, feels like a while since we’ve even been close to that.
