Not so sure how Auva'a keeps his spot over Bryson Goodwin. I'd be very surprised if George Burgess started the game given that at the moment he couldn't catch a cold in the middle of winter! I also get the feeling that Cody Walker could be in for a recall!

I think auva'a is the long term option. While he is down on form, i think maguire has faith in him getting back to his best. Goodwins last game at centre against bulldogs was diabolical, while auva'a come on in the last 20 minutes of that match and patched up the defence. Goodwin hasn't played well at wing either, and against cowboys he was by far our worst player so I'm guessing he is just a stopgap until aj gets back

Look I'm not saying Goodwin has been immaculate but he is in no way responsible for our defeat to the Cowboys. The tries that were conceded on his wing came on the back of line breaks which meant our defensively line didn't have to reorganize. When analyzing the tries we conceed, you always have to look at the build up and the initial error. I like Auva'a too but he doesn't deserve to keep his spot any more or less than Goodwin does.

The loss against the Cowboys had nothing to do with Goodwin..........Auva'a on the other hand was largely responsible for a couple of tries scored against us.

The amount of effort that goes into defending goodwin on here is almost equal to the effort needed from our forwards to turn our season around. Yea we letting teams make metres up the middle, and yea teams were making line breaks, but that still doesn't excuse goodwin being so easily beaten by his winger unmarked, making pathetic arm tackle attempts and new being caught out of position repeatedly. On one occasion ethan Lowe ran straight at Goodwin on the line and goodwin jumped out of his way ffs.

Not trolling, I just looked at all the Cowboys tries and I'll concede that in the 4th try Goodwin could have stood wider, but the Cowboys probably would have scored anyway.

But Auva'a and Goodwin where to blame both where terrible in defence, leaving gaps in the defence line. Goodwin was to slow and isn't up to being a winger in first grade, not great under the high ball which JT and Morgan knew so they target him and they target both Auva'a and Goodwin in defence. I've watch the game twice. Simple both where to blame for the poor defences reads and both again are in the side this week.

If Nielsen plays that'll do me. I would faint!!!!!! Fug me!!!!!!!

Wake up Madge.

Drop Cam. Bring in Cook or move Keary to hooker and Cody to 6.

Piss off Tyrrell.

Drop Auva'a with Oldfield to wing and Bryson to centre.

diegont spot on

You've lost the plot even more.

You're agreeing Bryson is a stop gap option. You're a fair dinkum hypocrite.

Criticise alien and do the same yourself. Cmon shadow you're being a BS artist here.

Diego is incorrect like you and alien too.

At least Southsport sees the truth. Southsport is a top bloke and isn't blinded like others who have fully lost the plot.
