Who's to replace Jamie Lyon?

[Redback71]

who r we gonna replace him with, no one can feel his shoes so who do u think is our next best option.

How about O'dwyer or webster not sure what positions they play but.

 

[Parraren]

You'll find out in about 2 hours or so. Webster is a half/hooker. It could be the rookie O'dwyer though.

I hope they give Odwyer a go... that kind of enthusiasm could be just the spark we need to pick up from last weekend.

 

[The Colonel]

Given the young fellow can play at lock and in the backs I'd blood him on the bench. Give Wagon the No 3 and play Grothe outside of him - especially against Berrigan who carved up on the weekend against NZ.

 

[Clarkieel]

Thats not a bad idea actually!!

Sounds like some good logic there Colonel. I'd be looking for some experience in the centres and Wagon will definitey plug up some holes that were there on Sat night. Plus that will get him out of the number 6 jersey. Vaealiki should be the first picked in the centres and i'd play Peterson outside him, they work very well together. Will be interesting to see if Burt retains his fullback spot.

Wagon in the centres becomes even more likely and attractive now.

 

[Parraren]

Any chance of you applying for a coaching position Colonel? :lol:

 

[Clarkieel]

PLease Colonel?? Be our coach heehee
and bring Witt up!!

 

[The Colonel]

Coaching on the board is easy......... I coached for twelve months after I buggered my knee and it was a nightmare. But, if the job does become available I will apply for the job OK. ;-)

 

[Redback71]

noooooow thats the way ahhhh ha i like it ahhhh ha.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

I'd put Pai in the centres, good defender. I think defence is the key in the centres now that Lyon is missing.

 

[Clarkieel]

not just in teh centres we have defence problems all over!!

 

[Twizzle]

Luke O'Dwyer would be my choice.

Don't forget we still have Kat to replace, so bringing up a 5/8 and moving Wags could be one option.

I don't like our chance of blooding two young backs at the same time.

 

[JessEel]

Pai's a good 5/8, put Wags in the centres and Pai in #6, but i like colonel thoughts too. when i take over, the job's yours mate ;-)

Seeing as I already suggested Wagon in the centres more than a week ago it isn't such an amazing coaching effort for the Colonel.

 

[Clarkieel]

well you can be on the coaching team too

 

[Pazza]

Put O'Dywer in there because it looks like Karmcihael Hunt will be playing centre. Hunt is fast a skillful but no where near as physical as Tony Carrol. Even though we have lost Jamie for a while (hopely not for good), i am really looking forward to seeing what O'Dywer, Graham and Grothe can offer our backline. I think they are all very strong fast outside backs and long term investments. If Jamie returns he might find himslef at 5/8 cause i think O'Dywer is a very good prospect.

 

[Clarkieel]
