Round 20 v The Northern Beaches Scum

Id drop chrichton katoa bring in zelezniak egan waddell

 

[TheFrog]

My side against silvertails would be 1.zelezniak 2.mansour 3.peachey 4.blake 5.whare 6.maloney 7.cleary 13.fisher harris 12.kikau 11.yeo 10.merrin 9.egan 8.tamou 14.harawira neara 15.hetherington 16.leota 17.waddell

Can Waddell play dummy half? I don't think Katoa will be dropped especially after playing the full 80. Not even sure Crichton won't survive, he just has to position himself better for kicks.

We'll be mostly 1 - 17 excluding injuries. 50 points will be seen as everyone failed I reckon.

Yeh with the exception of DWZ for Luai I think we’ll run the exact same team.

Any other year I’d be blowing up but I think given the circumstances of the last 3 months, it makes sense.

I have to give Griffin credit. He's made some good choices this year.

Most won't agree but I'd have Peach to centre with Whare on the wing. May on the bench will give us the option of hooking Maloney if he continues to dish up shit.

That'd work well. I'm sure May could be a good impact player.

I like May off the bench and Peach to the centres but the lack of raw speed from Mansour and Whare would bother me as both wingers.

Its an issue but they can't be slower than Crichton

I've been impressed with Whare the longer he's been back. Not a speedster but wouldn't let us down.

I have had enough of Crichton and his errors.

Putting my love of the club aside and thinking big picture.....that would have been good for the comp

No way!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't be too upset if that was the way it went, except for the hook Maloney part. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

Depends on if DWZ is back. Hook likes big bodies to carry back. A big fullback means Phillips is fine on the wing. He is the better of a bad bunch

Rather Whare at FB then the wing. A FB defends in the line so could Atleast use his defence. Ideally Peachey would be able to play FB but sadly not

 

[franklin2323]

Maloney taking personal responsibility and claiming it'll be fixed this week. Good sign and I'll hold him to that.

Not a fan of how he says he'd be worried if we were playing well now and that they couldn't hold it for 10 weeks.

Too many young guys to hold our best form for that long. We can do a good month or so

 

[franklin2323]

If we aren't going to finish top four (highly unlikely) it's better to finish sixth anyway because it probably means we play the Dragons in Week 2 (expecting them to lose the game between 2nd and 3rd) and I rate our chances against them over the Bunnies, Storm or Roosters.

Only the Storm scare me.

 

[tripster]

Why not Peach on the wing?

He has good pace and (generally) good hands. He breaks the first tackle most of the time. I could actually see him being a decent winger.

Id put Yeo back to the wing if it means the end of Crichton

What is he like under the high ball?
