Team versus the Bulldogs

and how does 'slowness' work well in our team? That's precisely whats wrong....it's nearly all of whats wrong with the blundering shambles that is our backline

By that statement I mean he could pull it off(playing centres). As I mentioned speed isn't his forte', but is it pomms? Desperate times call for desperate measures and that's where our club is at. Do you want to win footy games? Then IMO u need your best players out on the paddock at any one time. That means something like:

1. Gards
2. Ike
3. Leutele/best
4. Graham
5. Stapo
6. AK
7. Chad
Skip f/row
11. Smith
12. Bakuya
13. Gal

14. M Wright
15. Friz
16. Pomm
17. Mannah/Cordoba

Sure people on here(and myself) have mentioned Wade should shift to the backrow, but why have him on the bench? The backrow is our clubs strongest stock wise. Plus the game time for the likes of Friz and Peach will only be held up.

Yes we need "explosive" centres but fact is there is squat on the market and we missed the boat on any potential this season and last.

[QUOTETheOx]There hasn't been any announcements made re centres...this is true...but I trust whatevers going on with recruitment at the Sharks....that they are scouring the rugby league planet to unearth one.....it's our most blatent deficiency.[/QUOTE]

I'm glad you have faith in our recruitment...probably the only person I've heard say that!

No Snoop....agreed...Pomm is too slow. Leutele has potential....but unlike like Reed...he doesnt have someone like Hodges to chaperone him. I honestly don't see any first grade centre combinations to motivate this discussion.......it's very depressing.

Matai is a defensive centre. Cooper has stood around for 11 years wishing he was ET . Hes only gotten better in the last year. Better looking i mean. Gasnier is pharking giant of a man. if only he had have played with the desire of Mark mcgaw or Steve Ella, he would have been something to watch. Alas, they are both quite average in the history pages of rugby league.
Lawrence goes ok but he is on the brillian left hand edge for the Tigers. Ellis rams it , creates the hole, quick play the ball, farra scoops, Marshall, lawrence tuqiri. How would Lawrence look at our club? Really. How would Best look on the left edge for the Tiges? Pharking unreal I reckon.
The broncs dont even realy pick centres anymore. & where are they? f**k me nobody knows who is playing centre this week for them. & if Teo plays, will he be centre, 2nd row or front row????
f**k centres. Just put 2nd rowers there. By 2 more toops or jeremy smiths.

Takeiteasy played half a game at centre, faster than Wright, better co-ordinated than Pom & passed more times than Leutele.....let him barge at little no 6's & 7's all night long.

I know Chad Townsend has to play 1 more game in the 20s to be eligible for the finals but why drop him this week?

Is Kelly coming coming off the extended to replace him?

Just watching this reply on fox.

Cordoba and toops are the jersey grab kings.

I seriously think toops is taking up too much of our cap.

Cordoba can count his lucky stars we are a sh!t club.

Oh and Mr Flanno uses 2 interchanges in the first half and his 3rd 2 minutes into the second half.

Logical? Or just plain stupid

I'm hearing Chad may be out with injury.
Will be given up until kick off.

Played a number of games at starting centre for the tits last season and did pretty well. It would be worth a go in my opinion.
