I think if we play the same team as last week things will improve this week. The game felt like a trial run which didn't go to plan, however once they are comfortable with who is behind and side to side we will start seeing more confidence in their abilities.
Doogs is a quality player he can play wing he has good size and given a decent outside ball Is sure to put some points on, its a better option than feki or Aaron grey during the final games, there will be too much pressure on them. Happy to keep katoa in. I wouldn't put leutele on the Wing, his defence inner field is too good.
Kicker? Chad looks more confident, but I think Val is the better kicker however he chokes which comes down to not enough practice esp in nail biter games. let's keep the kick with Chad.
Hope someone is practicing field goals.
The boys really need to think about there penalties down in their half, we already know the refs are blowing at anything so lets not give them anything to blow at, tackle, hold release. The line needs to be fit enough to jog back 10 efficiently, if someone is slacking (mostly in the forwards)sub them, we have a great bench. Missed tackles are another issue.
completions and 5th tackle kick is our greatest let down this season IMO, we need to start moving the ball around, or at least start thinking about it well before the 5th. If we confuse the storm by rolling out our forwards with a well placed offload and a deep structured back line we can gain some better meters and have a better shot at a try rather than our half way mark meter eating easy catch bombs.
Both or defence and attack have been proven, lets see them put it together and watch the win.
Sharks by 4.
