Team list Tuesday vs Manly Sat 5:30 @ Commbank

[Gronk]

Think Matto marking up on Schuster would be a good match up

He can be smashing him as an edge backrower. He doesn't have to wear the #6 to do that.

*will be

I would personally opt for Cartwright to relieve Moses and have Matterson next to him on the edge. Matterson is a hell of a lot bigger now compared to when he was in the halves.

Carty not only moves well enough laterally to defend in that halves spot, but now has the nous to know run first, pass second.

Asi to be the primary kicker from the left with Hodgson out of dummy half to the right in conjunction with Gutho.

 

[Bandwagon]

I don’t think Hodgson has the lateral movement to defend at halfback. Perhaps he plays as “7” in attack but defends in middle

Yeah, no doubt about it he'll get carved up if defending on an edge, poor lateral movement, and no pace to recover.

Not sure Hodgo will play this week still on the injury list that has just been updated.

 

[IFR33K]

Maybe beau scott made a guest appearance at training.

Might need to be Cartwright at 7 then...
I would leave Asi in the 6 and on the left edge, and with the kicking game. Cartwright has been playing a bit of right edge forward, just give him the keys to the playmaking and we will see how much he has matured!!

So Carty relieves Moses all over Matto?

Matterson wore 7 for the Junior Kangaroos about a thousand years ago.

I like the look of that side. I assume Asi will stay on the left side due to his kicking foot.

 

[Gronk]

Lol we are so thin, that we named Waqa and Lane in the 22.

 

[yy_cheng]

battle of the best backup half

Waqa is back in Cup. Lane Is probably injured still

 

[emjaycee]

Good to see BA went with minimal changes.
Matto will be fine at 6 as he doesnt need to do much more than defend the middle and get the ball out to Gutho.
And smash Schuster at every chance he gets.

 

[Avenger]

Smart selections. BA is obviously reading the forums.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Full credit to BA here.

I don't normally give him any but with what's available this is best team he could pick and more importantly one that can still win.

If Dylan was still available we would win it easily but it's a little tougher now but without any halves.

We can be thankful Manly don't have much either in the halves.

 

[eel01s]

With Matto and Joe back we look stronger than Manly. If we complete at over 80% we win.
