Week 1 Finals v NZW

[Chins get the wins]

Cogger for me as he can cover 9 in a pinch & if Luai's arm falls off he goes to 6.

My heart says Peachy, but only cause I'd love for him to get a comp win.

Salmondo unlucky, but he got a ring last year.

You could really make a case for all 3 though, they all bring something a bit different to each other.

Soni Lube is only cover for 9, not versatile enough especially if we are playing Luai with a dodgy shoulder.

Luai's injury locks in Cogger imo

 

[Iamback]

Well yes.

Hosking or Garner can cover an injury in the backs and spell Sorro.

If injuries occur Smith has shown that he can cover and edge if required, just like he did last week.

Peachy God bless him is a waste at 14. I think you guys are all under valuing the importance of our 9.

So you'd rather sit a 9 there. Who gets no gametime aside from a HIA?

Then cover other positions and cover 9 IF needed?

I know Luke has some sort of fetish over Soni but it is a no brainer. You need multiple positions covered.

I think Hosking is decent enough if he needs to cover centre.

@martielang summed it up best Peachey adds unpredictability. So he is a no brainer this week.

I trust Cogger in attack, Not sure of his defence. Warriors attack is stronger on the right. A good showing this week locks him in for me

Nothing unpredictable about peachey. He will run or he'll run.

yes but won't run set lines and still has decent speed as opposed to the other options

 

[MugaB]

Nothing unpredictable about peachey. He will run or he'll run.

Or drop the balll..... ahhhhh you forgot his other skill in his skillbag... very unpredictable on which peach we get each week, could break open a game in his diamond form, or bomb multiple sets and give away penalties.... then he'll run...

RUN FOREST

No Soni Luke in the squad

No Soni Luke interesting.

[PANTHERMIKE]

Full strength named, Peach @ 14. No Luke.

Lets go

 

[soc123_au]

Sommerton on the extended bench instead of Hoppa Jnr is pretty telling. Maybe he has commitments at the Netball. Or a proctology course.

 

[mxlegend99]

So glad not to see Luke in the squad. When Luai is back I imagine Cogger goes to 14 and peachey is 18th man

I expect Kenny will play 80 or until we're leading by a heap. Peachey only injury cover or to rest someone when game is won.

This team list gives me confidence.. Beast Mode unlocked!!!

I get the feeling that the Peach offers better injury (or resting cover) than Luke does. As he can basically play only 9.

I also believe going into 24 Sommerton may find himself on the bench. He surprised me, at how well he fits into the squad.

Hoping that Kenny especially manages well after a layoff, and good to see Scotty too Hotty back. Strong team (barring Luai of course)

 

[Iamback]

Watch us go up another gear and put that side away

 

[Iamback]

Sommerton on the extended bench instead of Hoppa Jnr is pretty telling. Maybe he has commitments at the Netball. Or a proctology course.

Maybe he can get Netball moved to Jamo park?

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

The plans I believe have been in place for a while.

 

[Panther Mike]

Pretty much full strength apart from Luai. I expect the Warriors to be up for it but if we can dominate possession we'll overwhelm them gradually.

 

[Chins get the wins]

He's not right for the side based on talent, versatility or character

 

[John Hamblin]

As good as DWZ has been in attack he still has some errors in him dropped balls and some of his defensive reads are terrible.
