Team for round 23

[ouchie]

OK surely our team wont be the same after two consecutive losses. I reckon there may be a few position shuffles... and lets also hope fui and benny is the all clear from the judiciary panel. If they are to say suspended who shall replace them. What about shack could he return next week?

And surely morts neeeds to be dumped because he cant kick esp when first receiver, no height and distance in kicking. I cant believe how DA comes up with faith with him as he is a passenger.


Mateo to Five eighth? He was dead set out best last friday. Surely something needs to be changed in our hopeless halves( at morts that is), whenever mateo has the ball his dangerous, why not let him play five eighth and let him create the tries like he always starts em up with the offloads (though sometimes the offload are scary to watch at times..)

What do you guys think about this weeks line up. Who would you put and re-shuffle around?


I reckon:


1 hayne
2 burt
3 reddy
4 tahu
5 Inu
6 Mateo
7 KK/robson
8 Cayless
9 MK
10 Fui [ if suspended manakafoa to bench poore to start ]
11 Hindy
12 Benny [ who should replace ben if suspened??? ]
13 Horo

Interchange.
14 Robson/KK
15 Mannah
16 Le Te Mari
17 Poore

 

[cv8z]

Can't be worse than previous starting side. Thing is if he moves Mateo and he fires. Won't he look a bit stupid consider it's all too late?

 

[MaxZ/3iaGGiZ]

Please lord let it be....

1. The Chosen One
2. Luke Burt - Last chance to pick up his game or Tom Humble takes over.
3. Joel Reddy
4. Timana Tahu
5. Krisnan Inu - Keeps getting stronger.
6. Feleti Mateo - Surely now is the time to play him 5/8th.
7. Jeff Robson
8. Nathan Cayless
9. Matt Keating
10. Justin Poore
11. Nathan Hindmarsh
12. Ben Smith - If not suspended.
13. Justin Horo

Interchange.
14. Mortz - Interchange with Robson/MK depending on game flow.
15. Tim Mannah
16. Fui Fui Moi Moi - If not suspended.... Plays his best off bench.... Impact player.
17. O'Hanlon/Te Maari/Oake/Mitchell.... Don't really matter.... Anyone will do.

 

[hybrideel]

it'll be the same team with Manakafoa and Te Maari covering Fui and Benny

Allgood would be a more worthy pick over Manuokafoa, judging on both Wenty's recent and season form. Te Maari deserves Smith's spot should he cop a week off.

Otherwise, while we are still mathematicals I believe we will be seeing the same team. Hot or cold, win or loss, Anderson has stuck with the same core 17 throughout the season and until we are dead and buried it looks like more of the same.

Should we fail against the Broncos, there is little reason (not that there was any earlier this season!) to not blood Mitchell, give Humble another run (over K Keating or Mortimer) and as a huge maybe, give some of our NYC boys a run in either Wenty or first grade.

There was no reason not to blood Mitchell as soon as Kingston left, there was no reason to drop Humble simply because he had a bad game at fullback(considering the person he's filling in for that's unfair), Te Maari shouldn't have been given 75 minutes on the bike.
Seems to me DA is being overly stubborn about team stability regardless of results, the only people i've seen him drop on a regular basis is most likely Inu.

100 percent correct about inu. He has the most reason to be dirty with da and to not be offered a contract is a disgrace. I hope he thrives next year and tears the eels a new one.


In relation to the team, if Fui is available then put him on the bench with Mateo. They can be used as impact, because apart from hayne we are offering nothing in attack.

 

[lingard]

It doesn`t matter now; the season`s over. Might as well give Mortimer as much game time as possible now. Can`t say he doesn`t need it.

 

[hineyrulz]

Time for Morts to have a stint at Wenty, Humble at 6, Robbo to 7. I also think it's time to give Mitchell to get a go off the bench. He may add some much needed spark of the bench in a must win game.

 

[woddy]

Mitchell to get a go or we might as well drop the reserves juniors program altogether and stop whinging about parra juniors going somewhere else

 

[Brenno75]

The Knights will make the 8 well before we do. Moving Gidley to 7 for them is doing wonders

 

[eelement]

It appears Lockyer may not play this coming week with a rib cartilage injury which may be a postive for us. :?

 

[BissyB]

Morts will never be dropped. He's been sub par all year but hes played every game. What makes you think that will change now?

 

[Fathead]

Absolutely

I disagree. Why would you have The Chosen One our only attack on the field when u can have Mateo in the halves as our second attack option. As for Fui Fui he belongs in the bench because this is where he impacts into the game at his best.

Not a chance.

But they have Allan Langer on the field all the time :crazy:

Maybe its time for Jarryd to move to five eighth as well! His ability to assist every game is a five eighth material.

 

[Gronk]

There will be no changes. We've been beaten by a form Roosters side and the Titans who pulled a faultless 40 mins out of the box. We got beat because we played two white hot teams, not because particular players are badly out of form. With 4 games to go and the next being the make or break game, why fiddle with combinations ? You go with the best you have and do you best.

Gee, don't be sensible Gronk..... it will ruin this place.

The halves were never the problem on Friday night. 6/9 sets in the second half were..... wouldn't have mattered who was in the halves, you can't do anything when you don't have the ball.
