Watts to five-eighth. Graham to work on his goalkicking so we can drop John Williams. Ty Williams needs to learn how to run. He could chase down Brett Morris, but could he beat Rogers? Noooo...
Kaufusi, Manuokafoa never to play first grade for the Cowboys again. Webb has picked up his game since the start of the season - at least he's running with some purpose now - but he's still not good enough for anything other than a bench role, and I wouldn't even give him that if we had any other decent players around.
Amos to start at hooker. If he needs a rest move Watts there, or play an extra forward and no hooker.
We need to fix this right side defence, Tupou hasn't fixed a single thing and neither has Ty Williams.
Gallant is a great fullback as long as he doesn't have to tackle. I haven't seen him wrap the ball up all season - all he seems to do is jump on their back, which doesn't do a whole lot to stop them scoring.
We had about 3 bombed tries in the second half - if any of those had stuck, I'd be gloating in the Knights forum right about now.
I'd love to play the Knights without Gidley, Mullen, De Gois and Patterson. My god that would be a slaughter.
About a 12 point loss?
Well you just played us without Taia, Hilder, Simpson, Wicks, Houston, MacDougall, Naiqama, McManus and Dureau and lost so I'm sure you would love to play us with a few more out.
Are you geniused? Drop John Williams? That is one of the stupidest suggestions i have ever heard. He is clearly one of our most effective players. He gets the ball nowhere near as much as he should. Sure he didn't pass the ball to Rhompson at that critical stage, but hardly reason to drop him. That is just stupid.
Agreed on the dropping of Kaufusi and Manuakafoa however. They are both useless. Bolton, Mason, Scott, Webb and Tamou played outstanding and the more we have all of them on the field at the ame time the better. Add Rapira and O'Donnell and we should always have great pack on the field at the same time.
Also, I liked Amos at hooker, not as much as Watts, but still was greta value. On the other hand Watts failed in the halves, so Watts has to start next game with Amos on the bech in my opinion.
Also, i have to say criticism of Gallant is unwarranted from what i saw. Did nothing wrong.
