Maybe a little early to get this thread going, however, given the circumstances, there's lots to discuss.
Starting with:
1. Who replaces Suli? (Ribs are notorious for being lengthy outs). Do we shift CT to centre, and bring back Feagai? Do we push Gutho there with Sloan to fb. But this still leaves our wing exposed. Lawson isn't nearly ready.
I feel Coates will have a field day, whoever is put there. We just don't have a "tall" to compete athleticaly.
2. It's become necessary (imo) to remove LL from the starting line-up. He just too cumbersome and turns slower than the Titanic. RFM drops out and Egan in? We need a Hudson Young type and he seems to possess some of it.
3. Cake should not see 1st grade again. His replacement was foreshadowed with the signing of Klemmer. While he's no magic fix, he'll show at lot more aggression than MacArthur Park.
4. What to do with our halves? Ilias lacks confidence and his defense is almost Ball level. So, do we drpp him, bring in LKT? MOVE Gutho to 6? Play Cook or even Liddle at 6 with LKT on the bench?
Flanno is conservative and not a big risk taker, do I can't see too many changes (although there should be). It may be prudent to take a leaf out of the Roosters game and yesterday's Rabbits team. Enthusiasm is infectious, something we seem to have been inoculated against.
