Thoughts?

 

[Stake Removed]

He hasn't played on a edge for a long time

 

[DJDL]

Williams to right edge for me.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Williams to right edge for me.

We lose the impact he's been giving off the bench but he's looked decent there when he's filled in before. Just not Billy Burns, he is poo.

4. Iro
11. Talakai

Talakai been killing it at centre but we just don’t have the back row depth

 

[Ozzi_78]

No backs?
Could still beat tigers.

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Talakai to back row isn’t a bad option but he was so fkn good last night. I wouldn’t want to lose his carries out of our end

 

[dellul]

Tough decision as they're all playing well in their positions but has to be either Williams, talakai or Rudolf doesn't it. Iro being 18th man might make talakai the favourite if it's just a game or two.

 

[Ozzi_78]

It’s solved with Uele back isn’t it?

 

[shadowboxer]

Uele was a round 5/6 proposition?
I wouldn’t be shifting anyone in the current state of play.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Uele was round 1-2 I thought. Did it change?

Thoughts?

Tooks will probably have to bide his time to get another stint but he'll have the taste now. If BHU and Hunt are back then I think maybe Williams might have the better lateral for Nikora. Be interesting to see what Fitz does here. This is the position we are definitely light on in.

 

[R-15-3]

Williams has to stay in the middle. His workload can’t be covered by Tuks, Hunt or an unfit BHU.
Same for Sifa.
For me it’s Burns or Iro as a backrower, Iro has played some games for the Jets there and not a huge difference from Center.

 

[PJ]

Isn't the main reason Iro kept out of first his defence?

 

[Frenzy.]

He hasn't played on a edge for a long time

I don't think is sore tootsie will see him be able to play 80 as an edge.

Burns was brought in for this. Probably him.

Could share it, Tobes and Tooks. Tobes 50-60 and Tooks the rest.

 

[Frenzy.]

Forgot to check something

Tigers away and Raiders at home are the games to cover with Brits 2 game ban

I think it will be Burns into the 17

 

[Weaponhead]

Burns is the most like for like replacement.

 

[carinashark]

Just put Tieg there. We have plenty of second rowers.

So who starts in BN's spot? Waste if he comes off the bench and honestly can't see him coming from Reggies straight into the starting side to play 80 minutes. Was he a regular at the Goons last year?

 

[coolumsharkie]

Just put Tieg there. We have plenty of second rowers.

So he can cover both sides? Sounds legit.
