Replace Feagai with Ramsey. If Ilias fails again, move Flannagan to halfback and promote new 6 from reserve grade.

The alternatives to Ilias may be LKT to 6 and KF to 7, or moving Gutho to 5/8 - which would bring Sloan back into the 1 jersey. But it is too early to give up on Ilias.

Good luck guys should be a close game.

Whoever completes their sets higher will probs win.

Had a look at the odds Dragons $1.48 Souths $2.67.

We are struggling to field a back 5 with no Trell, AJ, Munro, Wighton, Aitken and Mellars.

No doubt Ilias and Cook will wanna have big games against us.

I think you guys will lift and will be hot this week wouldn’t be shocked if you win should be a cracker may the best team win.

Rabbits rather decimated by injury.
No excuses for Dragons and playing at home.

Let this not be the year for excuses. The best teams don't have them.
I believe that what sets them apart.

I think we should win but it's by no means a given.

Our line speed in defence and our general defensive effort played major factors in our loss to the dogs. I really don't know why D Youg remains our defensive coach.

Dogs line speed was a lot faster than us at the beginning of the game. For the first thirty minutes of the game they had 3 players in every tackle. When they raced to 28 points, I thought they will put 50 points on us. But by the last quarter they ran out of the puff. We ran 3 unanswered tries. We would have got them if it was not for the stupid mistakes.

Fegai has to be dropped. He made too many mistakes. Not sure if Ramsey is conditioned for first grade though. He may have to spent this year in the KoE. I would go with Sloan or Finnai,

Sloan for me.
Not much use in our quarter but could be good out wide with our current swing-shift style

Why would you leave Cook on the bench to start ? His service from dummy half is a cut above Liddles. Liddle is great in attack against a tiring defence, not so much in the opening 10-15 minutes. Start with Cook, bring Liddle on around the 30 minute mark if the opposition look to be weakening, (or later in the game if we're well on top), then Cook back on later in the match - depending on which way the game's heading. Cook's a steady hand, great service and pass selection, solid defence and an organizer, Liddles a bit of an X-factor off the bench and perfect to bring on when Cookie needs a rest.
