Is it time for Tim to attempt a few positional changes to revitalise the Tigers? We are looking stagnant.
I suggest:
1. Wilson out. I'm was a big fan of Wilson's but he's been MIA too much. Last night I thought he must have been on the bench for a period of time because I didn't see him involved anywhere.
2. Galea to 5/8th. Maybe its time to try Galea like we did in a previous season. He has nice hands and solid defence. I think we need those two more than anything atm. Kerr might deserve a go but his passing was disappointing yesterday (re McLinden intercept). I think a strong quick footed defender off the ruck would help out our centres enormously.
3. Gibbs starting prop. I rate Payten but he seems to have much more impact off the bench. He doesn't toil so well when the opp forwards are fresh.
4. Mears to Premier League. Senter starting hooker, Farah benchie. That way after 25 odd minutes Farah comes on for good. Senter then becomes an interchange back rower. Mears goes forward ok but against beaten sides. Senter is a better defender and ball runner.
5. Laffranchi back into 2nd row. We need him badly in our pack.
6. Bench: Farah, Payten, Harrison, Heighno. Personally I'd try Viane ahead of Heighno to try for impact value. Heighno goes ok but doesn't make much impact.
