Seriously, how do we put a strong mob on the paddock to at least keep the margin of the loss respectable?
1 - Ryan
2 - Lawrence
3 - Moltzen
4 - Reddy
5 - Tuqiri
6 - Marshall
7 - Miller
8 - Woods
9 - Politoni
10 - Galloway
11 - Ellis
12 - Heighington
13 - Ayshford
14 - Fulton
15 - Murdoch-Masila
16 - Bell
17 - Chisholm
tbh I know this isn't pretty, but seriously, how much better can we make that.
Get Ryan at Fullback, he's in good form and he runs it back well and he isn't afraid to attack the ball when contesting kicks.
Try and speed up the backline, Give Lawrence more focus on attack out wide and less big blokes running at him, until his body gets back closer to 100% anyways and he gets some form behind him. Moltzen in closer running off Benji more.
Reddy in Centres, he's not fast enough for the wing, not big enough for the forwards and not skilled enough as a utility back.
Actually select a hooker to play at hooker.
Persist with Miller, but only with a proper bench consisting of two decent prop forwards.
Blair and Groat can go and learn some basics and get some confidence in NSW Cup.
If Ayshford doesn't improve, he can join the reggies next week as well.
Make Ellis captain, not Benji. Ellis leads by example. Benji performs better without too much to pressure on him.
Bring Galloway off after 15, Woods after 20, Bring them both back with 5 mins to go in first half. Take them off 10 mins into second half, bring em back for last 10 mins.
Bell and Moors to play prop only. Give all 4 props 40 mins each, spread the workload out, try and keep them fresh. No point busting 2 props for an hour and having two bench props play 20 mins and still feeling fresh.
Bring Chisholm on to give Farah a rest or he can play in halves, wings or fullback as well.
Even if Farah gets a 10 minute break, take him off 5 before halftime, bring him back 5 mins after halftime, that'd be close to a 20 min rest for him, would be more than enough to keep him fresh.
Ayshford can be benched for Fulton at halftime or some such thing.
