The problem is we drop either game and we finish 5th. We haven't got the luxury to rest guys

Agree however if we can’t beat Souths with that team then we don’t deserve to be a challenger.

If they show up with intent they'll win easily and even put a score on Souths.

Edwards is on one leg at the moment, I'm not sure he's an asset in this shape.

Exactly.

 

[Luke Bowden]

1. Edwards, 2. To'o, 3. Tago, 4. McLean, 5. Turuva, 6. Laurie, 7. Luai, 8. Leota, 9. Kenny, 10. JFH, 11. Garner, 12. Martin, 13. Yeo
14. Toelau, 15. Smith, 16. Henry, 17. Geyer

Run with this.

Yep

 

[WestyLife]

Yep

It's a good team but am I crazy for hoping Alamoti will play on the wing? Probably. Not a knock on Turuva just interesting after seeing in the other thread he's a speedster and clearly strong for Panther style winger duties.

He is going to play week 1 of the finals, To get combinations you play him.

Maybe he trains less or something

Agree

 

[Iamback]

Agree

Ivan mentioned combinations being an issue. So in that case everyone who is in the top 17 needs to play these 2 games.

Mav out Sorro in
A half out Cleary in

As the exceptions to these rules. We are running out of weeks to sort it

I agree Alamoti he should be in our best 17. Either on the wing instead of Laurie, so Jessie stays at centre. Or if Jessie is out next week, then at centre with Turuva on the wing.

It’s very weird we are so close to the finals and I don’t know what the best team is.
Has McClean nailed our other centre spot?
Turuva gone for good?

given our lack of attack, I would say most positions are up for grabs

 

[Sime_11]

did anyone watch Cup? how did Turuva play? his stats dont scream great game - looks like Daeon outplayed Turuva statistics wise....

the fact we have all centre and wingers available means Ivan has to force his hand regarding Laurie on the wing

 

[Murraymob1]

Y

given our lack of attack, I would say most positions are up for grabs

yep I gave Ivan a call said I could fill in for Martin or Laurie out near the sideline only on the eastern side of course closer to the beer and pies

 

[Murraymob1]

Peter lang was suggesting in a post alomonti will be in the 17

 

[unKwn]

I think McLean might drop out of the 17

Only a week too late

 

[WestyLife]

Considering his broken arm it was probably good to have him come back through reserve grade.

Yes but McLean was sick. Garner had longer out and had to play longer minutes and we didn't have the option to use him elsewhere
