Round 6 v Titans

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

Yes. Agree with Sailor in for Norman if suspended, Saab in for either Rava or Pereira and drop Merrin for Ford. Other than those changes, everything else the same.

I thought Merrin played pretty well. Provided some good offloads and late footwork but I agree I’d love Ford in the side.

 

[Dragon David]

The changes I would make is Saab in for Rava and wouldn’t mind giving Ford a run just as a rotation to keep the fitness and competition up. Not sure who with though.

Ford in to replace Merrin.

Can someone copy James Hoopers latest article. It's a cracker

Ford in to replace Merrin.

I personally would replace Aitken with either Fuimaono or Ford but it’s not going to happen.

My Team This Week Would Be

1. Matt Dufty
2. Jordan Periera
3. Zac Lomax
4. Euan Aitken
5. Jason Saab
6. Tristan Sailor
7. Adam Clune
8. Josh Kerr
9. Ben Hunt
10. Paul Vaughan
11. Tyson Frizell
12. Jackson Ford
13. Cameron McInnes ( C )
BENCH
14. Corey Norman
15. Tyrell Fuimaono
16. Trent Merrin
17. James Graham

I could live with that!

 

[Dragonslayer]

Anyway my team this week:

1. Dufty
2. Periera
3. Ravalawa
4. Lomax
5. Saab
6. Norman
7. Clune
8. Kerr
9. McIness
10. Vaughan
11. Frizell
12. Fuimaono
13. Host

14. Hunt
15. Graham
16. Lawrie
17. Ford

Merrin didnt have a bad game agaonst the Sharks but between him and Lawrie, the latter had a higher tackle count and efficiency. Thats it
Aitken moved to left centre but still can't read a defensive play.
Moving Rava to left centre does involve some risk and still unsure if young Saab could sustain bringing the ball back in defense without some wear and tear, but at least the Titans would be a good platform to find out. Rava and JP can still do some bullocking work bringing the ball out of defense.

Oh dear me!!!

So adaptable hey, James Graham to fullback I say

How about you read my post properly before you act like a 5 year old. Winger for winger regardless the side they “prefer” to play on. Your comment is just like the orange fella on here

Cheers mate.

Goes a long way to explain McGregors comment about keeping Hunt as the backup hooker in the presser.

I would be okay if our Hunt our most expensive player played off the bench every week if it works it works.

 

[redv13]

This is simply untrue.

Players have a preferred side of the field because they are stronger stepping off a certain foot or fending with a certain arm or leaping with a certain leg.

Your right SBD82 but it doesn’t always work out that way. If that’s the case then Saab may as well walk now if he needs to wait for Rava to $hit himself. It shouldn’t matter in the end, if a spot opens then he needs to give it a crack and grab it not make excuses

 

[2010]

Looking at McIdiots coaching manual the side for the Titans will be the same as the Sharkes game

So he has no idea , again we have someone helping him .....

soon they will be blindfolding Mcgregor and asking him not to watch the game just listen to it on the radio and let other coaches make decisions...this is how f**ked the board is by going to every conceivable length to cover up their mistakes and trying to get through this season just to save some coin...I mean how many coaches are involved in coaching the team 5?

So you want to move Rava from right wing to left centre??

 

[possm]

Ford in to replace Merrin.

Merrin plays prop and backrow. Ford can play secondrow and centre.

Yes, I covered this aspect in my post and on other posts about it

 

[redv13]

Yes, I covered this aspect in my post and on other posts about it

Yeah I read them. So let’s move a right winger who has defensive issues at times and put him to left centre. Don’t agree with that. Centre is the hardest position to defend in and you need to make the correct decision. On what basis do you think Rava would make a good defensive centre let alone to the left side ??

Mickey,
so in a way supercoach has been moved sideways and our assisstants have been given greater say.. If it works then it is the same as sacking him and having Shep or young being given the job for the rest of the season . So eventually supercoach will be just trotted out for the presser . It would be interesting to see if any of marys picks are the same as the other 3 !!!!! This gives us hope that players will no longer be koalas like mary had them . If others are pulling the strings and we get results I can live with it

Firstly, you say I'm acting like a 5yr old

Ok so you dont agree with that, so be it, it's the same as I don't agree with moving Saab to the left wing.
So, let's move on shall we.
