Round 14: vs Dogs 🐕 Monday 13th June TEAM LIST

[I'm a loser baby...]

Fair call.

 

[hineyrulz]

He'll get another opatunity.

Will be interesting to see how Sivo handles things. How did he go last week in the lower grades?

Good

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Opa really is a tad unlucky and does not deserve to be dropped but I can understand wanting to bring Sivo back

I think Waqa is the better winger, but we're probably better off as a team with Waqa at centre and Sivo on the wing.

Sivo needs to run harder but he makes more metres than Opacic and metres early in the set has been where we've been lacking this year.

Sivo needs to hit the ground running. We need those backfield metres not just glory plays from 5-10m out, which is basically all we got last year.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Good

Thanks. Sounds good.

he needs to get his arse up off the ground to play the ball, he'd be the slowest PTB in the NRL I reckon

 

[Gazzamatta]

But he ran over 200 meters and scored 3 trys according to the stats.

Ba needs to tell him.

Did either you see Friday? There was a couple slow ones but he wasn’t any slower than anyone else. That said there wasn’t really too many recognisable players for Mounties.
His defence is still very odd though.

I’m here to be entertained ffs not learn facts!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Surely that’s better than half a dozen quick play-the-balls?

 

[the phantom menace]

Assuming Paulo, RCG and Matterson might play less minutes in the aftermath of Origin, it makes a bit of sense to have SIvo back in the side for this game. Opa is unlucky to miss out, but it's not like we'll need our best defence against the Bulldogs...

One or two of Makatoa, Kaufusi and N Brown might be a good chance to move to the starting line up if RCG or Paulo need the rest... could be a good price for first try scorer ;-).

We play Monday. No different to a short turnaround during the regular season. Although this is origin.

 

[hindy111]

Unsure why people are so hung up on Opacic. They should be excited to have Sivo back. Word is he is bigger then before. Opacic is a great defender but overall just an average player. Sivo and Blake back give us so much more power.

And it's the Bulldogs we're playing, so no need for those guys to bust a gut doing regular minutes either.

 

[eels_fan]

Based on minutes played and input I’m pretty confident our 3 should back up easily.

Paulo should be fresh as a daisy.
