I dont think we need wholesale changes. Someone said it earlier, we spent so much energy trying to match the forwards that the intensity was down on the one percenters like kick chase, wrapping up the ball etc. Plum, Masoe, Ciraldo and Newton is the worst prop rotation we've fielded in over a decade, but they had a good crack.
A few positional comments. Mansour isn't a centre. He was constantly rushing out of the line last night creating space before he switched to wing. Matt Robinson is back to the form he was in at the end of last season. Really liking what he's doing at the moment.
Any word on the seriousness of Masoe's injury? Would be laughable if he was out for a while..[/QUOTE
I agree Maple. Given our start, try from a bomb in first couple of minutes, they had possession for entire first 10 minutes, video refs decisions again going against us, coupled of bombed tries I thought we had a crack against a big side who are incredibly hard to beat at home. A couple of inclusions and few positional changes and I think we could field a stronger 17. No major changes necessary or possible given our injury woes. If Walsh is out I would move Moylan to 5/8 and bring up Moss (if salary cap allows). It would be could to have some real pace from the fullback position both in defence and attach and Moss would certainly provide that. Moss wasn't resigned for three years to simply play for Windsor and I know the club believes he has what it takes to be a success at NRL level.
