Docker straight back into the starting side is a joke. Peachey and Taylor are both wasted when Docker plays lock IMO.

If Cartright isn't good enough for first grade, he should be playing in reserve grade atleast.

Also was hoping to see Nabouli and thought Kevin Naiqama might have played himself out of first grade after his last effort. Looks like Nabouli will never play first grade for us... his window is pretty much right now.

 

[umina panther]

f**k me. Docker over Bryce......

 

[chrisD]

Disappointing.

Moseley and Jennings in u20s will be interesting.

 

[mxlegend99]

Hopefully we get the one late change atleast.

Either Idris or Cartright in for Docker.

Idris goes to left centre, Yeo to the bench and Peachey starts in place of Docker.
Cartright goes onto the bench, Peachey starts in place of docker.

Docker has not earned his spot back, and our starting backrow should be Peachey, Manu and Taylor. That's our best starting backrow by miles.

 

[betcats]

Good to see R Jennings back atleast. Dissappointing about Bryce.

 

[MaxPower]

I'm not sure how we are going to win without the 2 game rookie.

Not just about that smartarse. Taylor is a better lock and Peach has earned his starting spot. Docker weakens the whole pack

Be careful what you wish for....if Idris comes in, Yeo will move to the bench and Peachey and Cartwright will likely miss out.

 

[chrisD]

Why do you think Yeo is in front of Peachey in the back row?

I think we all know by now that for Cleary, unflashy and consistent beats unpredictable every day of the week.

 

[mxlegend99]

Docker should be dropped and forced to earn his way back into the team. That appears to be what Idris needs to do, despite being in great form before being stood down and a former representative player.

I'm happy for Idris to have to work his way back into the team. But Docker should aswell. If players need to earn their spots, then Cartright should be in for Docker, with Peachey starting and Taylor at lock.

If players who have proven themselves should get to keep their spots when they return, Idris should be starting. Yeo should be pushed to the forward pack and Docker out.

I'm happy for Docker to be in the team when/if he earns it ahead of other players. But he doesn't deserve his spot based on what he has offered in his last few games, and the likes of Peachey, Taylor and Cartright have offered without him.

 

[Copperhead]

Why do you think Yeo is in front of Peachey in the back row?

He isn't in my book, but as Billy said, just that uncomfortable feeling that "solid" players are favoured over flashy.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

What pisses me off most about the Docker selection is that he makes as many mistakes as anyone with ball in hand, yet back in he goes because apparently we need to be even more defensive at the expense of our attack.

 

[chrisD]

He isn't in my book, but as Billy said, just that uncomfortable feeling that "solid" players are favoured over flashy.

Ok I thought you might have had inside info. I don't think Yeo would be in front of Peachey, besides his attack Peachey has surprisingly been a rock in defence.

 

[umina panther]

Does anyone know if Cartwright is legitimate cover for anyone?

 

[greynurse]

Good side. Glad to see Docker in. Stiffens up our defence in those softening up periods. Interchanged with Peachey when the forwards get tired. The good thing is Peachey has been playing big minutes lately so he should be at his attacking best for the whole time he is on. Can't wait to see Jennings play in the 20s.

 

[Doomednow]

Yeo and Naiqama on the right up against Hurrell. That's not a lot of experience up against a very dangerous centre. Can't say I'm particularly confident about that.
