Earlier in the year I was happy with our origin draw against manly thinking they’ve have Turbo, DCE and Haumole in.

turns out they only lose DCE whose been pretty shit tbh and isn’t that much of a loss for them!

Turbo and Haumole will tear us a new one
Turbo is lame and Haulome will probs come in for someone. Still, we are not a trustworthy team without Momax.

Holy shit I just realised that with Lomax playing SOO and with Simmonsons Injury as well plus Dunster Mia Tago is next in line his defence is not good not good at all..

Only other option is to move Samrani to centre and play Penisni or Russell on the wing...

I'd rather us give Richard Penisini a shot than use Tago or Dunster on the wing. Samrani is just developing well into that role as bench forward, would not be changing that.

Surely coaches do all the game planning, tactics and adjustments, and training to bring together combinations from different clubs so that they gel successfully?

Otherwise it's just a batch of talented individuals going out there and playing free style - like a Sunday training game in a local park. That's not what Origin looks like.
You don’t think the best players in the game discuss tactics with each other?

Moses, Cleary and Yeo will have more influence on the game plan than Lozza.

Just like C.Smith, Turdston and Slater had more influence on the game plan than Mal.
