We really need to win this now.

Considering that the Titans are now above us on the table after starting 0-4... yes, probably, we do.

 

[franklin2323]

Yep almost goodbye 2019 if we don't win.

I'd run out:

Aekins
Too
Blake
Johns
DWZ
Maloney
Cleary
Grant
Egan
Tamou
Kikau
Yeo
JFH

Sele
Martin
Leota
Mansour ( backrow)

Realistically

Sele in for Whare will be the only change

Is Johns within our top 30 ?


If so Johns at centre, Edwards on wing, DWZ at fullback.


I don't think it's quite panic stations yet. If we improve as much as we did from Titians to Sharks we may snag a win ?

Does anyone know what's happened with Jack Herthington is he injured or just been a naughty boy ?

 

[franklin2323]

Who replaced May? Remember NRL stood him down. Allowing clubs to replace as needed. So can use the May and Phillips spots on Johns/Too and fix a few gaps

Mansour backrow
People been saying this for years. Have never understood it.
He's a (slow now ineffective) winger or nothing.

He is past it as a winger. Have him for 4 years. So why not try it?

I think whoever our recruitment officer is needs to go Bush and find some big fast outside backs.The only guy that fits that description is brayden mcgrady and hes out with an acl.Im over our back 3 getting monstered and run down in the clear.Waqa blake is our only shining light in this department.

14. Katoa 15. Sele 16. Martin 17. Leota

I don’t think we can run with one Hooker against Souths. I also think Fui will be at centre & tbh he’ll probably hold his own against Turner.

Tempted to run with Lui Toso on the bench for a bit of extra impact & size.

I like this team. Being realistic, Whare's injury has provided the opportunity for change. IMO, including Aekins has more upside than Fui.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Unfortunately Fui will be named in the centres.

Not what I want, just what I think.

Just go to Fiji and find one.

Agreed. I liked what I saw of DWZ as a centre. Certainly better than the other options if no one is promoted

Or Yeo. Allowing Sele back in

 

[franklin2323]

We had 2 let them both go to debut elsewhere

 

[Whino]

Whare out for 2-4 weeks

 

[Panfa]

No big loss whare i hope they debut johns and he has a blinder

 

[unKwn]

he used to play for dragons right? is he any good

 

[herbert henry1908]

His contract is up at the end of 2021. So only 2.5 years more.
