Round 12 vs Donkeys - Team List Thread

[Gazzamatta]

Wow. Swapping Corey and Gutho. Who woulda thunk that?

 

[Gronk]

Better passing from our fullback?

It solves a few issues. Many have said on here that Norman looks cramped out there. Also as you say, Gutho has been poor with his service to the wings. Might help Norman find some form when he can see a bit of grass.

Normz better have a good game however, bc Jarryd is not far off.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Giving Norman space to run the ball (which he does better than Gutherson) while bringing Guth into the defensive line where his defence and workrate are a strength. Norman can still kick on the left side of the field, like Coote and Mbye.

 

[Stevie]

Wow. Just wow.

Hey, at least we're trying something but I still feel very underwhelmed.

No Brown, no Hayne, no Evans etc.

 

[Bazal]

Interdasting

That's a very interesting point Gronk (Whether its Hayne or Hoffman etc) . He may be moved to position of the old "left right out" if he is poor again OR if Guth is good.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

With Ma'u shifting back to the edge we should see 'Chinese' Tepai back on his favoured right side. Or not.

 

[jason taylor]

I still would have Hoffman over French on the wing, but at least Arthur is trying to shake things up.

 

[forward pass]

I don't understand why you would name the side that way - even if you are planning on swapping them?

Just pick Norman at 6, Gutho at 1, and then play them in their new positions. I don't think that is an issue with NRL is it?

BA is being generous giving Broncs a few days to come up with a plan to destroy Norman at FB at run at Gutho at 5/8.

 

[Avenger]

So much for people saying that Gutherson can't play 6 (no kicking game and all that shit).

Great move by BA. I hope Norman goes well at 1 for the sake of the team but it may also piss him off like it did at the Broncos. Win/win either way.

Maybe he will be dropped and this is a way of not creating added pressure.

I had an inkling TBH.

Lol. Norman is still in the side you dunce.

Why don't you record how many kicks Guth makes, and how many our fullback makes...

 

[Happy MEel]

It will be interesting to see how Norman responds. He strikes me as the kind of guy who may piss his pants if he doesn’t get his way.

 

[hineyrulz]

It's very exciting.

 

[Gronk]

Announcing it now allows the media to rabbit on about Norman being moved away from his favoured position (dropped). It's either rocket, a message or both.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Or maybe this is all a smoke-screen for a Salmon starter (sorry, it's not entirely a joke)?

 

[Dibs]

What would be the point of that?

So one could play fullback and the other five-eighth

Baz, Gutherson did plenty of kicking when he last played 6. It's not like he is Brett Kenny when he left it all to Sterlo.

 

[TheParraboy]

of course

Norman to No1, obviously a request by Kevie so he can avoid picking Merkn Slater for Origin 1
