In attack, to keep him out of the way until he needs to kick? He and Guth could pull off the old Taylor-Sterlo swap.JA at fullback could prove a masterstroke.

If Reed plays like last week againMaybe BA should take a leaf out of a real coach's book, and try something different with Reed - have him start on the bench to avoid tackling himself to a standstill and come on for the final 60mins?
Just have to start with a defensive forward in his place to cover some middle/ruck defence for the first twenty mins, and utilise Matterson and Gutherson (and Brown) around the ruck more as receiver/dummy half options in attack. Make teh opposition actually guess about what we might do, ffs.
A hooker needs to be able to take on the line. It makes a massive difference. At the moment his game is predictable. Flow on effect is that opposition defence know to rush up on the halves. Absolutely no variety apart in his game apart from the odd kick.The way api engaged the markers yday helps so much

He is bog average. He is doing nothing more then Matt Keating did. MK actually actualy had rock solid defense yet he copped it on here for not running. Mahoney has the fans golden pass on here it feels like.. He barely runs and has average defense. The odd good kick like every 2nd game. WOW.
De gois was better. Peats was superior. Problem was De going got old and Kaysa who was also better was injury prone so we ended up with that slug from Dragons playing. Forget his name.
Mahoneys had one very good season. 2021. The rest has been nothing more then BOG AVERAGE.
He has had enough NRL now to be a leader. He is not.
I wish we kept Lussick last season.
Funny we have Ennis as a coach but our hooker is still shit.
If they dont sont tuen up? ... so we will win no matter what .... i like the sound of thatIf we play to our potential and the Dogs dont dont turn up we will win..
I will be interested to see the addition of Hodgson to the team, and Barrett on the attack, and how they will change the role of the dummy half and the teams attack.

Well that does need some improvement also, but I think a lot of that has been down to lack of attitude/ mentality all season.Unless we change our defence our attack won't matter.

We had the third best defensive record in the comp the previous two seasons. Something has really gone amiss this season.Possibly, watching Penrith defend yesterday against Souths they have a similar defensive structure.
South tried to go around them but the slide alot faster than we do. They also have line speed and kick chase pressure.
It.may be down to attitude bit it seems to be like this for a season or more now.
