[Meth]

I think Leiataua needs to be prioritised and switched back to his favoured side.

 

[Meth]

I'd definitely be open to an option on that wing that isn't Pompey

 

[Meth]

Last night reinforced my belief that CHT is not a half, but he is a good player who you want on the field somewhere

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

You know Ford will never get dropped aye

yep

 

[vvvrulz]

Anyone with an eye lately on Graham-Taufa?
I'm getting a bit tired of Pompey, he's a useful centre at best but plod on the wing.

With Meth's mob I'd only swap TMM and Metcalf and wouldn't have a problem with Ford off the bench.

Pompey at centre I don’t mind- limited ceiling and ideally I’d have Rocco and Ali but he’s solid and does a job. But he’s just not a winger.

 

[Meth]

I wondered about Rocco on the wing at one point-

Kosi and TMM out
Berry and CNK in
Capewell back to second row and Halasima back to the bench

 

[nswarrior]

I like the team. Hopefully Berry goes a bit better after his 1st game a couple of weeks ago. Obviously Halasima needs good game time even if he is off the bench.

 

[vvvrulz]

This isn't a high profile game, but winning these needs to be bread and butter if we're legit top eight.

The Knights are playing disgusting footy.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Taine marking Marzeuw??

Oh no, we're not favourites, are we?

 

[nswarrior]

Hot favourites which basically guarantees a late fade and loss

Yeah, I reckon Ponga's gonna have a bit of say this weekend. It's the perfect scenario for him.

 

[Wheeled Warrior]

The Knights bad defence and lack of attacking points will give us a chance.
Hoping Christchurch will be a good factor for the Warriors to get us home.

Yeah I'm an MGT fan from what I've seen. Definitely a better bet than Pompey on the wing. I'm happy with Pompey at centre but there's better options when he's pushed out

Picking the team is a regular, standard forum topic each week, but is deadset the most boring with Webster as coach. You virtually know exactly who he is picking.
