Team v Rabbitohs

[JJ]

With Harris back you’d have thought Aitken could have been moved to centre

We can keep banging on about it, can't we...maybe Aitken sees his future worth to clubs as being in the 2nd row or shows no interest in playing centre? But yeah, that's where he should be.

Berry needed to be dropped, but gee whiz - Pompey and Vailea is a plodder combo.

Aitken doesn't pick the team....

He's been a good signing, but in all seriousness if we're thinking players are demanding positions and getting their way then we are even more f**ked than I thought, and the season so far has me thinking we're incredibly f**ked

No, but he could be having a sook. I don't know. I'm just giving all the possibilities. Seems like Blind Freddie would see that our edge defence is f**king useless, we have 2nd rowers of decent quality to burn, so moving Aitken would be a no-brainer.

Predictably, Katoa dropped instead of Vailea to leave Aitken in the second row.

 

[Meth]

Cameron Murray is a big out.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Kodi to have a blinder, his one in 6 is overdue.

I'm not confident at all with this team anymore.
Tohu is a big plus, can't wait for Curran.

You know you're in die straits when you're excited to see Montoya back

haha exactly what I thought - I allowed myself to think "Montoya is an improvement on Pompey and Pompey is an improvement on Berry" and then I realised how bad things were getting when I was trying to be optimistic about shuffling badly substandard players. Is Vailea defending next to DWZ? That could get ugly.

 

[Rich102]

Why not put SJ at centre and the new kid to 7?
After all we no longer get 1 in 10 good games from SJ

No

Because he's one of the worst defenders in the comp.

Because he's one of the worst defenders in the comp.

Often he appears one of the worst attackers too…

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Yep, named in #14.

Most teams put something in the release contract about not playing against them due to knowing calls etc.
I guess we are to stupid to do so.
We also probably don't have any calls either.

 

[Meth]

Egan and Aitken out.
Lussick and Katoa in.

Tevaga to hooker.

We’re so f**ked

Yeah but this is Nikorima, you want him to play

 

[Penrose_11]

If Tevega ends up starting at hooker we are fkd. I think he’s one of our biggest stumbling blocks on attack. He often gets in at 2nd receiver and things automatically slow down. He often throws that shit pass that NRL quality players just shouldn’t be throwing. He’s not a 13 and he’s definitely not a 9. He doesn’t pass off the ground. He stands up 1st and then the defender is already on next receiver. We have 7-8 NRL quality players but it’s our 9-17 where we just let ourselves down. I could go on and on……

 

[JJ]

Egan and Aitken are among our best, huge losses

Tohu back is here, I just hope we don’t expect too much etc
