This weeks teams!!!

[kurtz]

Not to mention that our star recruit from this year, Cuthbertson, can't get a run. It's unfortunate for him, but I guess Ricky didn't want to mess with a winning formula.

 

[The Masked Avenger]

Totally agree...look what happens when Issac Luke plays 80

Aiton used to trot out 80 for Penruff.

Oh, and I would rather have Paris than Blake "I wonder who has permission to use the communal family brain cell this week" Ferguson.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

About f**king time Ricky made this change.

(Morris to half and Aiton to hooker.)

Bloody hell I've been calling for this change to happen for months.

He's very slow on the uptake.

Wish the idiot would put Flanagan on the bench as well.

But it's all too late now.

So typical of this idiot.

oh no

aitons getting baked!!!!

 

[Dragon Slayer]

oh no

aitons getting baked!!!!

Someone had to take over from Ricky.

Have you seen Ricky's cakes!!!!!!!!!!

 

[millersnose]

unfortunatley i have been chewing on one for a few years

its not very good

 

[Surely]

yeah, well what if he gets injured? And when Flanagan played against whoever they played when he was in the team, he did good. I'd rather him that Tautai there.

Morris can go to hooker and that big centre we have gallen can go to 5/8.

 

[The Dodger]

i like having aiton for the whole 80 mins but i am assuming there will be some chopping around and he will still be sharing the duty with morris.

even before fergo came out and and said what he said, i thought he was useless.
very dissapointed in him this year, i stupdily had high expectations for him, he crab walks worse than simmo used to.

at least simmo scored tries.

 

[roboshark]

Its going to be a massacre

 

[glenmoresharkie]

If he gets injured. One option might be Morris to 9. Barrett to 7. Tupou to 6 and a benchie into the pack.

They could also use Tautai as a back in a different re shuffle.

Or they could come out of left field with something like. Morris to 9, Gards to 7, the Prima Donna to 1 and Spock to the wing

who is prima donna, and who is spock?

 

[Tucky]

Time for us to play Manly back into form.

 

[juanfarkall]

Shame it's too late in the season to bring Kimmorley back to the club 6 months early.

 

[shadowboxer]

Flick Tautai, and put Flanagan there

he deserves a run big time!!

 

[Dragon Slayer]

he deserves a run big time!!

It's amazing he hasn't been given more of an opportunity in the team considering how well we have gone this year.

Here's a stat for you.

Cuthbertson has been in the First Grade team more than Flanagan this year.

Who's the more likely First Grader?

 

[carinashark]

Flanagan is a 9 , so look who is in front of him? Can he play centre, so look who is in front of him? Can he play 2nd row , umm look who is in front of him? Oh I know , he could play at 7 so ? Put him on the bench this week and see if he can go 40min against Manly ( yer right). Jeez hav you people been watching the NSW CUP ? We are terrible, have a look!

Carina he is a standout every week.

He played really well when he got his opportunity in First Grade.

We have a player in Morris who probably makes a better lock forward or centre these days. With his passing game and great tackling technique he'd be a great asset in either area.

A back row of Gallen,Tupou and Morris would give us a more skill and mobility. Put him in the centres and he'd be much safer in defense than some of the other people who we have tried and he would get the ball out to his winger with far more regularity than someone like a Tautai that has been tried.

Aiton has been electric but under used all year. Start him and give him decent minutes and then when he is off Flanagan comes on and keeps the momentum going but in a shorter burst.

We have had a lot of guys play First Grade this year who are not First Graders. Flanagan is!

 

[blacktip-reefy]

ohh fmd

 

[Surely]

So you'd punt either collis or pom to get 40 mins from flanigan ?

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Flanagan.

Actually my first preference is for Morris into lock.
For the reasons outlined.

Morris in the centres if Pom or Collis got injured is also a goer.
Collis hasn't set the world on fire at this stage anyway and would be hardly a major loss if punted for Morris.

But my point being that not enough tweaking with the side has occurred with certain players in the side. This year has been hardly successful to keep the same players in the same position week in and week out.

Stuart finally made a switch with Morris to half and Aiton to starting hooker. Great! Why not try something to see if it clicks and adds a new dynamic to the team? But why wait till now when the season is gone? Just crazy coaching.

 

[azzah72]

I think Morris to lock would be a good idea if we had a half back.

I have called fir it for a while.
