Team v Knights

[Meth]

A lot of players due back this week. Headaches of the best kind.

1- Nicoll-Klokstand
2- Watene-Zelezniak
3- Vailea
4- Pompey
5- Montoya
6- Martin
7- Johnson
8- Fonua-Blake
9- Egan
10- Barnett
11- Ford
12- Curran
13- Harris/Tevaga

Res- Walker, Ale, Afoa, Tevaga/Sironen

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Be interesting to see if anything happens to Curran for his kness to the back on Ronaldinio

 

[nswarrior]

cant have too many changes to a winning team but

- Martin in for Volkman
- Barnett in for Afoa who goes onto bench for Sironen
- if Harris is back then he come on for Tevaga who goes back to bench for Ale

much stronger team - I think we were outsized and out muscled in the 1st 20 minutes so we need big bodies like Barney and Harris

nothing in it

Harsh if it does, he was clearly trying to pull out of it.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

I hope they’re focussed for this one. Knights definitely have a lot of fight in them this year and they’ll have their tails up at home.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Tohu, Barnett, TMM, DWZ still to come into this team. Great position to be in

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Harris and Barnett huge ins when they come back, this team is really cooking.

I have to say on Jazz, I thought we were a big man down but geez, the mongrel he brings negates that.

 

[Penrose_11]

I’d keep Kosi on his wing and if DWZ comes in the he goes to mother wing and Montoya comes in one for Vailea. My back 5 would be
1. CNK
2. Kosi
3. Pompey
4. Montoya
5. DWZ
In’s - TMM, Barnett, Tohu
Outs - Volkman, Siri, Ale/Curren
Some tuffs picks to make if boys all fit

 

[Leber]

TMM in, Volkman out
Harris in, Sionen out
Barnett in, Curren/Ford out? (tough tho)

1 CNK
2 Kosi
3 Pompey
4 Vailea
5 Montoya
6 TMM
7 Johnson
8 AFB
9 Egan
10 Barnett
11 Ford/Curren
12 Niukore
13 Harris

14 Walker
15 Tevaga
16 Afoa
17 Ale

 

[Penrose Warrior]

TMM in, Volkman out
Harris in, Sionen out
Barnett in, Curren/Ford out? (tough tho)

1 CNK
2 Kosi
3 Pompey
4 Vailea
5 Montoya
6 TMM
7 Johnson
8 AFB
9 Egan
10 Barnett
11 Ford/Curren
12 Niukore
13 Harris

14 Walker
15 Tevaga
16 Afoa
17 Ale

Or Ale slips off, and you can play Ford and Curran? Tevaga is performing a role as a middle - he's run for 140 metres two weeks in a row. Which is insane, really.

 

[vvvrulz]

When's the last time our bench was actually an exciting topic?

Personally I'd go for:
Walker
Tevaga
Curran
Afoa

And have a setup of:
8 AFB
9 Egan
10 Barnett
11 Ford
12 Niukore
13 Harris

With that forward rotation we lose almost nothing.

 

[Penrose_11]

Webster just said Niokore suspended 2 weeks and Barnett still couple more weeks away. And Tohu is no certainty either. Shit. Whose next cab off the rank?

 

[Penrose_11]

8. AFB
9. Egan
10. Bunty
11. Ford
12. Curren
13. Tevaga

14. Walker
15. Siro
16. Ale
17. ????

Not many big bodies

 

[SpaceMonkey]

2 weeks for that?! What a joke

 

[Izz]

Surely they have to be thinking about contesting?

If Webster said that, it must mean they're taking the early guilty plea.

 

[Meth]

Anyone been a bit confused by Afoa's performances?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

If we need a big body for a couple of 15-20 min stints we’ve got Gavet in reserves

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Anyone been a bit confused by Afoa's performances?

Yeah he’s not overwhelming
A few big carries at the start then fades
