I predict incoming meltdowns if Lussick is named in the 17 (I will probably be one of them).

 

[Gronk]

Still not a fan of Tago. Can't we do better ?

I'm a supporter of throwing in AMS or R Penisini - simply because they are not Tago and they borth have future upside.

But the reality is that JAC's suspension and Bailey's protracted return mean it is likely Tago. Sadly.

Lussick would be frustrating and regressive, but I can't see it - if he goes with a dummy half in the 17, I would think the upgrade points to it being Ryley.

Would also like to see AMS or Richard, but more so because of the height of the Storm wingers. Tago is way too short to defend any kicks his way against either Warbrick or Coates

Not sure AMS or Dick are any better than Tago at this stage.

I thought Tago will get the gig for his ruck work out of our end of the field.

On Lussick after watching the Panthers game it may be a better choice to have Pappa as 14 with his versatility.

 

[Gherkin]

If we want a hooker on the bench it has to be Smith

No death riding - actually, I'm right on board the Ryles train, I just think picking Lussick would be a bad move.

You can be on board and still offer a critique, right?

100% i think most on here were pretty fair on BA with a lot of things as well.

It just got to the point where most of the fanbase lost full belief and trust in the direction we were heading and wanted change after a long tenure.

We have got that now.

Lets see how it goes.

It wont be smooth sailing all the time and there will be bumps on the road.

But i havent been more confident we are on the right track then what we are now.

good question, it's been about 10 years since that happened.

about 7 for me - fell off the BA train midway through 2018

I think it was @Happy MEel who said it the other day, if Denisini (I think AMS too) didn’t get injured last year then he’s probably would’ve leapfrogged Tago to start this year. Tago is probably the “safe” choice and potentially there’s financial reasons as well. Interestingly though I think it’s Tago lack of busy, or at least effective, work out of the ruck which concerns me most about picking him.
And I think Papalii on bench too but need to have general plan for using him

If both of those kids didn't get injured Tago would still be playing in RMC.

Our back 5 need to be running for over 100+ meters a game mainly out of our red zone.

Maybe be a blessing throwing him into the deep end with a team that was all over the place & confidence shot late year might not have been good for his development.

The most annoying part was AMS & Penisini both did there knees away from the club so a early lesson for the young ones about professionalism and a real case of bad luck.

Round 6 2018.

 

[King-Gutho94]

I hung onto the BA train until Round 20, 2021.

I look back go and go wtf did it take me so long.

It took a injury riddled Roosters team whopping us 28-0 in Mackay in the QLD hub with us just missing Moses but actually looking clueless convinced me for good we were never winning a premiership under him.

 

[Glenneel]

Think Lomax to wing and Peninisi Jnr to centre, or other way around. Smith to reserves bench. Would like to see Joash somewhere in team for his acceleration and step, reckon he'd really bamboozle defences.
