Round two vs the Dragons.

[Iamback]

Another Injury
I hate that I get limited viewing of the ressies. So many talented kids coming through.

Round 5 we are on tv in NSW Cup

 

[Vicpanther]

Mav
Cleary due back Round 4
Luke wasn't too bad

These are fine. Long ones are what we don't want

Just feel sorry for soni. Can't catch a break.

Just feel sorry for soni. Can't catch a break.

It will be interesting to see where he sits when Kenny and SOS drop back down

 

[BossleyPanther]

Since when did they use these terms?

 

[Girds89]

The regulars we have won't move

Api
Martin
Kiks
Yeo

Will play the full 80.

What we did with Capewell worked. He would replace one of the props and Martin would play there.

Allows 2 props to keep rotating through the game

Kiks shouldnt be playing 80.

He can do it but its when we have issues with defence. He gets fatigued and makes poor choices in d leaving poor luai and tago short.

Martin simply wont need to play 80 and front row mins if ivan picks the right bench.

And similar to kiks, martin plays better when he has a 20 or so min breather. Having c smith on the bench means you can rotate the 3 of them.

And between eiso,hopgood, spencer, lindsay... theres no need to move martin in and defensivley weaken that edge for no reason.

He can, however, not the break he wants.

Nice lower grade results. Nice to see our scouting remains on point a few years post Gus as well, we obviously are well stocked with local talent but that flegg side also had a few guys down from QLD and a couple from
The country, it’s good to see.

Anyway sounds like Taylan may stuck his hand right up for a spot and possible Chris smith if a bench spot opens up. Also Fakatoumafi should move up if a backline spot opens up in cup, was impressive in trials and sounds like he’s impressing in flegg.

He was 18th man. So is next up

You can't give both breathers only have 8 interchanges

Well actually 7 because teams keep 1

Eiso to play opening 30 for l smith
Hopgood 25 for spencer.
Kiks 30 for c smith

Thats 3 in the first half.

Spencer off at 55 for hopgood
L smith at 60 for eiso
Kiks for martin at 50... but c smith goes to right edge..

Thats 6....leaves two depending on situation.

Martin can come on for chris smith with 15 to go leaving one and he can still move into the middle if need be.

Salmon can ride the pine unless api is cooked or we get an injury.

Than we have an 8th freebe for the last 5 to 10 mins depending on the game

 

[Hamstring awareness]

Another out there option would be to move Tago to backrow and bring in Rennings and May

I don’t hate this idea

 

[Iamback]

Was Riki injuries?

No I think it was a plan. He didn't have the doctor see him

 

[Goonji]

Didn't he sign a new contract last year?

Just a suggestion, probably silly me asking. Maybe Fish doesn't want the work load anymore, feels underpaid over worked?

 

[Girds89]

Anyoje suggesting fish isnt a hard worker and isnt up for it needs to wake up,look themselves in the mirror and give themselves a wake up slap.

Fish is a true warrior.. i have no doubt if it wasnt rd 2 and it was a final fish would be out there.

Im tiping him and yeo lead the way in tbe off season for the pack..nath and edwards for the backs..

You dont become the best forward in the game taking it easy.

Fish will be back better than ever
