[Frenzy.]

A team CAN NOT have Hazelton in it against the Sea Eagles. Their forwards are too big and too direct. They run at him, he won;t get to them and the whole left will shift in and turn in like happened tonight. The Warriors started their blitz when he came on and fekked an already fekked defence up because he's a slug. I bet Sam Thaiday loves him, probably sees a lot of himself in him. 29 tackles credited to The Slug tonight. I guarantee 28 of them were as third man in

 

[Special K]

The issue with Wilton being out means that if you drop Moylan or move Sifa you have 3 new players defending next to each other. Not that it matters as Moylan can't close a barn door but I can see that being the shit keeping Moylan and co there.

I'd move Sifa to backrow, Tracey into 4, Trindall into 6. Not because Trindall is killing it but Moylan has had enough chances. Pack is Kafusi, Brailey, Toby, Nikora, Sifa, Dale then Cam, BHU, Williams and Hazleton.

But they will put Graham in the backrow and probably Trindall replacing him on the bench with BHU for Hazleton. Derp.

How's Atkinson going

 

[fizman]

Finucane to Prop - That is what he is, not a ball playing Lock. I don’t care if he comes off the bench.

Toby’s best football was at Redcliffe in the Second Row out on the edges - with Teig done for the year, Toby needs to play at 12.

McInnes was a brilliant Hooker for St George, there was a time when he was the pivot for attack and defence. It beggars belief that he has not had a genuine crack at the Sharks No9 jersey. Well, he now gets the Hooker position in my forward pack.

I like Sifa at 13 - he can hit hard in the middle, can run straight and has soft hands. He can be moulded into a Paul Gallen No 13.

Kaufusi
Williams

Colqoun

it really doesn’t matter. They may as well pack it up for the year and the next 2 or 3 if we don’t bring anyone else with a bit of mongrel in. It’s in their heads now, they can’t beat a good team. If they get behind against a shit team, they’ll probably self destruct too.

 

[R-15-3]

An Absolutely left field idea if we are going back to the drawing board, but if we want to fix our edge defence over scoring points could Tracey come into 6?

 

[Inferno]

Why are people saying Ramien is out? Did he pick up an injury late? I switched off with 25 to go.

 

[Tucky]

Why are people saying Ramien is out? Did he pick up an injury late? I switched off with 25 to go.

I read Pec injury in the game day thread, haven’t read anything to confirm it yet.
I fast forwarded the last 20.

 

[R-15-3]

Why are people saying Ramien is out? Did he pick up an injury late? I switched off with 25 to go.

He held his shoulder / pec with 3 min to go but stayed on. Looked like a burner to me.
If it was serious surly he would have come off, we used our last replacement on Braily with 90 seconds left, are we just resting Braily or did he have an issue? 90 sec rest Is stupid

Is Tom rooting’ your missus? Haven’t seen this sort of hatred from you since Felix was about.

hahah
frenzys new whipping boy what 11 games in

 

[Snoop Shark]

What the farrrrrrrk is going on crew? It’s been a while but here’s my 2 cents worth. Talk about a dog’s breakfast of a team hey…would be hard out beating the jets at this rate!
Anyways Sifa is not a centre’s butt cheek. It’s a specialist position especially in defence and guess what he can’t f*ckkkkkin read it! He has slick hands and runs good lines but that’s only half the job. Should have been moved to the forwards when Connor was fit last year.
Moylan hmmmmm well he should have always been the back up 6 to Metcalf but don’t get me started on that. Anyways my question is why the hell aren’t we actively recruiting for next year? Every other club gets mentioned with expressions of interest except bloody us. Moylan should have been dropped weeks ago.

 

[shadowboxer]

Well in the words of the great late Greedy Smith - My spirit got lost, now something is missing.
The snoop makes the points all here are championing to no avail.

But we know Moylan/Graham are proteted species

This HAS to be the team!

Looking back on that 2016 team, it’s a sorry state of affairs when you compare our current mob - how out of our starting 13 would get a game over their opposite number?

I think Hynes is the only 1. There could be an argument for Sifa, but he’d probably only snag a bench spot over Beale. Katoa/Ronnie could run Feki close, but I’d take 2016 Feki personally.
Nikora the only other player who gets in the 17, and even that is a tough choice to replace Boogs.
