Round 12 vs Donkeys - Team List Thread

[Bazal]

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.

And he did it quite poorly compared to a genuine first grade half. That's entirely the point.

Gutho is a gun, but he isn't a long term six.

 

[TheParraboy]

I think Gutho at 6 will create more opportunities, he s very deceptive

He will play the running 5/8 role far better than an out of form Norman anyway.

It may also encourage him to get into acting half and scoot a bit more. Which was a big advantage for us last year

If Normans about to be shipped out of club I reckon this is a sign.

Get Gutherson into 5/8 and move Bevan to fullback.

It maybe a case of Raiders you can have him now. Take his full salary next year off us and we will fork out this years if lose to Brisbane.

Agree at least whilst King is on anyway. WSmith does a good job at that.

Who said anything about long term? I'm just glad the peanut has been moved from there.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

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

Anyone can play anywhere they’re picked. Gutherson is suboptimal in the halves just as he is at fullback. But he is wasted in the outside backs. I suspect Norman will still be doing our kicking on the left side of the ruck, with Gutherson continuing to push hard as a kick chaser.

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.

I think it is a bit of preparing the team for life after Norman, plus maybe helping Norman to not want to be here.

This could make sense. I think mjc hinted at something similar a few days ago

 

[Gronk]

Gutherson is suboptimal

f**k, I knew it !

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I think we’ll see Gutherson on the right with Norman on the left, Moses in the middle. I wonder if Moses will defend on the left now.

*loose

f**k it calling it also. Norman is dropped this week. Salmon scaling up into his first game at 6.

aaannddd………...we're off!

 

[Jake the snake]

I’m thinking that Norman will be dropped and that Salmon might be given a shot at 6 with Gutho dropping back to fullback

Ahhh………..a red herring!

Actually nah. If we were prepping for life after Norman we would keep the 6 on the left.

Better than a red snapper

 

[Eelogical]

Best to ask Corey about that. Wait a bit, I'll just check the video again.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Is it surprising BA has nominated the 6 to 1, 1 to 6 change? Why advertise it? Could have just run it on game day.
Maybe the pressure has him broadcasting this in an effort to appease the nay sayers. Maybe hes sending an open message to Corey. Imho there is more to this change than the actual swapping of players.
