Everybody except Lisone. You cant reward him with another game after his c**k ups in the Sharks game. Sipley or Gavet instead.

 

[Blair]

Hingano in for Johnson, who needs three weeks off (beginning today).

 

[Fufu Andronez]

I feel like we are trying to get Shaun through to bye week.. I agree with Blair in that I would give him a bit more time off as we will need him firing at the business end of the season

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Hingano in for Johnson, who needs three weeks off (beginning today).

Probably would of been guaranteed if we had won.
Should be ruled out anyway the way he was limping.

My guess is Manu to halfback! :crazy:

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

yip rest johnson

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

And ship Wright of to mars

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

New spine..

1. Fusitua or Wells
6. Lolohea
7. Robson
9. Luke

14. Leiluai

If Johnson is injured, we need either Hingaro or Lolohea in the halves IMO- a Leuluai/Robson halves combination offers nothing

 

[Meth]

Lisone had an off night for sure- but Gubb seems to be getting a free pass these days?

Yeah but Im trying to guess what Cappy is going for if he decides that SJ is to rest. I wouldnt bet money on him bringing up Hingano.

Lisone had an off night for sure- but Gubb seems to be getting a free pass these days?

I dont really notice Gubbs errors but I certainly did Lisones on Saturday and I liked Lisone before Saturdays game.

 

[ozbash]

but Gubb seems to be getting a free pass these days?

no, I think he's quite effective off the bench, lifts the team..

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Yeah does have that effect.

Good to have a lunatic on the bench - someone like Klemmer would be preferable...

 

[Meth]

It's not at much Gubb's errors as much as his value...not sure he is worth his spot

 

[JJ]

Ideally I'd prefer the bench as:
Vete
Lisone
Sipley/Lane
Leuluai/Tevaga

Matulino should start imo... he'll have impact wherever he is, no other team starts their best prop from the bench, either means McFadden is ahead of the game, or wrong...

 

[ozbash]

I think he's improving each game. The silly stuff has all but disappeared.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Agree he's improving in that aspect, but there's still not much in his own play that justifies his selection, he's good for a few grass cutters and 45m of mediocre hitups per game. If he didn't rev the rest of the team up he'd have no real value.

Well get him to run the water then

Like an Adrian Morley for me, but I agree we do need that lunatic/mongrel on the field. A mongrels mere presence on the field changes the way opposition forwards hit it up in that they don't run with the intent to bust anymore, yet they just run it to settle, also it inspires the rest of the team. A good example of this was Napas defensive efforts against the Roosters, if Napa wasn't playing that day, the Roosters lose to Souths IMO. SBWs earlier years for the Bulldogs was another mongrel on defence and being so athletic, still had plenty to give on attack but ultimately for me it's Morley.
