Interesting moves:

The big news is Lote Tuqiri is back in the starting side after a long long on the sideline with injury.

Tom Humble will start at halfback in seven, with Tim Moltzen retaining his fullback role from Monday Night.

Matt Bell gets the call to run on the park in place of Matt Groat in the starting pack.

Joel Reddy gets the nod over Blake Ayshford who will play in jersey 17 and come off the bench.

Okay - that looks a lot better but the Sheenius still has 2 smaller players on the bench - one of which could possibly play in the forwards but has always been a back and is woefully out of form.

Get rid of Meaney and replace him with a hooker. Swap Ayshford for Moors and the team looks good.

Still it is a massive improvement. That backline is a lot more dangerous than what we put on the park last week.

Another great Tim Sheena bench. A NSW Cup fullback and a centre.

 

[Marshall_magic]

replace Meaney with Moors and it's a good side.

If Souths dont pump Wests by 50 they are not trying.

Look, I have just been reading through some of these posts and I am laughing.

Here is a tip for all of you out there in fairy land.

Most players in the team do not want the coach there any more. They will not perform. They are sick of the coach and his inabilities. They want him punted and are playing accordingly.

Bug - this is absolute crap. The players are first graders and they should be playing to their best ability every time they run out there. If they aren't playing to their ability because of their feelings towards the coach they should f**k right off.

Why don't you name who these players are ?

Do I have to name them ?? Are you blind man ?? Word out of camp Concord is the players are filthy on Sheens and Humphreys. That is what I am hearing. They have had ENOUGH.

 

[boonboon]

Bug what buulshit its you who hates sheens and Humphrey and your a nobody with a grudge

 

[Tiger05]

They have had ENOUGH.

I've had enough of their performances. If they are deliberately playing crap to get rid of the coach they should be shot.

That is 100 times worse than Sheens/Humphries stupid decision to buy Blair at well over market rate. It is a complete dog act.

I think you are making this crap up as well. If you are that is a complete dog act - far worse than Sheens choosing two backs on the bench.

Ayshford is also capable of playing in the backrow, it is not as bad as last weeks bench. I am happy with the team this week, I cant see what else he could/should have done. Ayshford has been really poor, I'm glad he has been put on notice. Blair has to aim up or p*ss off as far as I'm concerned!

 

[hybrid_tiger]

I like most of the changes but lets not prevent Ayshford is a backrower.

We have a fullback (who will play hooker) and a centre who will play as a backrower on the bench. It's still pathetic.

Moors for Ayshford and I'd be happy.

Fulton at hooker is terrible and our halves will not get any decent ball until he is replaced. Most of rhe time they had to jump two metres to catch basic one out passes which gave the defense much more tome to put pressure on the reciever.

Hopefully Fulton is replaced at hooker sooner in the match than he was on Monday night.

Double post.

 

[gronkathon]

If they are truly "filthy" at Sheens and Humphries and it is in relation to Gibbs and Fifita than every single one of them who feels that way can pack their shit and f**k right off out of this club.

It isn't a place to hang out and be with your buddies, that is a sideline. It is a place to be a professional sportsmen.

They and weak arse, half hearted supporters who do nothing but sledge the club to suit your own agenda can f**k off and never come back Bug

I nearly choked on my cheese and crackers.

Bell to start?
Ayshford to the bench??
Humble to halfback???

These are all good signs.

Disappointed for Aysh, he was probably the most consistent performer last year and he seems to have had a diabolical start to the season. I truly hope he gets back to his best very soon.

Great to see Bell starting and Humble at 7, Humble has a golden opportunity to showcase himself without Farah there to call over him.

Put your money where your mouth is. Who are you hearing it from Scoop? Always ready to speculate and create innuendo, but you can never back it up.

Agreed - but the best thing for Ayshford right now is a clear message that he needs to get back on his feet. He's a good enough player to know what it will take to get his spot back, and any contest with Reddy for the run-on role can only be a good thing for our backline in the long run.

Groat will be all the better for a return to the bench as well.

Good on Sheens for making these changes. We criticise his stubborn selection and he rarely delivers anything sensible, but today he's shown that he's not a complete muppet. Well, at least not for today.

Agreed. I'm fine with him being there to tighten things up around the middle for the first twenty, but not for the 3/4 of the match like Monday night. I don't really care that Meaney isn't a real hooker, he seemed to combine well with Humble when they came on.
