Team vs the Bunnies.

[Rich102]

How's this for an idea?

We play the same team again. Give them a chance to make amends.
We swap the wingers over.
We let Johnson defend next to Ropati - maybe the opposition won't notice.
We send the boys to Rainbows End for the week.

Maybe someone will turn up at Mt Smart.

You can't blame the coach, its not his job to coach defensive or attacking structures, have the team ready for the game, pick the right players or use the interchange bench correctly.

I think you're onto something, Rich!

 

[hitman82]

[Fast Eddie]

Locke
Vatuvei (gotta swap those wingers round every week or so)

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Who ever plays just tell em we are 16-0 down already

 

[One Warrior]

Well Bluey, not the same f**king team that played the last two weeks. Here's a few clues for you:

Drop Ropati & Henry.
Play Hurrell and Inu.
Drop the Fish, bring back Locke.
Start Matulino and Rapira, not from the bench.

See how you go from there.

 

[SilentOne]

Honestly do you think the side will even be changed next week? I don't.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Yeah not really, Locke back in might be the only change. Lillyman in for Tai'i would be a possibility also.

Soufs by 28

How's Carlos Tuimavave playing in the 20s? Might be tempted to have him replace one of Ropati/Henry.

 

[kos]

Carlos didnt play -injured? Under 20, s were ordinary gave away a big lead and got chased down.
How about a dummy half on the interchange -someone quick who can make yards-when the other side tires/ Godinet? The whole backline is crap cant defend cant attack apart from 6+7. Bring in Inu and Hurrell got to make some change. Drop Jerome and Ben Henry. Sam and Ben will improve. How is Latu going in the Vulcans? Surely our forwards can improve????

Now thats a better game plan than what I saw today.

 

[jeffrow]

would like to see inu on the wing at least
vulcanise tupou, vulcanise henry

 

[NZ Warrior]

If there aren't major changes to the team this week, I'm supporting Rusty's Bunnies!

Agree with Packer, major handbrakes this year, should be the prop to miss out when Lillymans back
