Round 16 v Warriors

[Chins]

How can Ivan get a result in this one without the Origin boys? It will take something wild, maybe as crazy as playing Trent at 7 and Soni Luke at 9........you read that right haha

I can't see a way we can be conservative and just defend our arses off for a win here.

I'd love for Hassett to start

 

[Chins]

Also Ivan please pick a fullback at fullback (NOT Laurie)

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Nothing to lose in this one.

Such a joke of scheduling... Will be one of our regular seasons greatest's feats if we can win here!

 

[Oldpanther86]

Also Ivan please pick a fullback at fullback (NOT Laurie)

As long as he does this one I'll be pretty happy win or loss. Give hassett and the cup lock a game, Cole/Talagi halves for bonus points

Trent at 7 I can get behind, but Luke over Sommo? Nah.

Itll be bog standard selections imo. Laurie at 1 (which I can handle), Schneider at 7 (ugh). Hopefully Huth at 13 instead of prop, Smith playing a simple game in the middle for the most part. Alamoti is a decent in for Too and we have a few options to cover Martin. Hopefully Henry comes back with more vigor after his break.

If the Warriors weren't going so well I'd say we have a real shot, but playing them over there when they're rolling like this is probably a bit too much of an ask.

 

[Chins]

Maybe give Alamoti a crack at fullback if the kids aren't allowed to play.
We need to get wacky here

If Edgar or Attard are considered ready and allowed to play I wouldnt mind seeing one of them get a go. If not, I'm not against giving Daine one last shot to redeem himself either though.

At least offer to share whatever it is you're smoking today.

If Laurie does get the spot and is bad again I just hope we all then agree he's not it instead of the silly arguing. That's all I ask lol

I think he's already mentally shot unfortunately

Woah easy tiger. Let's keep our expectations at least approaching realistic.

i think we will surprise a few this game - it will be a similar lineup to the knights game but we have Garner, Sorro & Papali'i available - unfortunately i dont see Hassett getting game time this time round.

Henry also served his 2 game suspension so he'll play as well - no Riki & Huth please - they just arent FG material

Laurie
Alamoti
Tago
Mclean
Jenkins
Talagi
Schneids (Toelau prefer)
Leota
Kenny
Henry
Sorro
Papali'i
Smith

Sommerton
Garner
Patea
Eisenhuth (Hassett prefer)

Yeah he's got no confidence at all.

I think we are stronger with Garner starting and Papali'i up front

I'd be loathe to move Tailagi from the 6 as we need to keep building our combinations.

However for this game Tailagi at 1 should be considered. I've seen enough of Daine Laurie and think we need a change. We also have Toelau and Cole who can play 6.

I think the rest picks itself. Ivan likely goes conservative and picks our main backup in Laurie. But his form in first grade has been shocking. I think he has run out of chances.

The Garner disrespect is sickening, get around the great man

He's a victim of his own success. He's as good as anyone we have at second row and also is very good filling at centre as well. The other second rowers can't do that.

That doesn't mean he needs to ride the pine.
