Will Kennedy gone

Simplicity and continuity is key at this time of year. Miller will come straight in for Kennedy. Different player but Miller gets some time to get used to the rigours of NRL. This will be important if Kennedy is not right for finals. Miller has played on big stages and is mature, so should not be overawed.

f**king hell.

Tough call to make. Hynes had a shocker when he played fullback but I think that was because he was trying to play a halfback's game from the back. It is unlikely he would make that mistake again.

Then again Miller had a great game when he came in and lived up to expectations.

I think I'd be inclined to get Miller in the team.

It's a bit odd there's no update about Rolls Royce in this update. Didn't he go off with a shoulder problem?

Do you weaken 2 spots by moving hynes and bringing in Trindall or do you simply bring in Miller.
It will cause a slight adjustment to the sweeping attack but I don’t think this is a bad thing. Plan B if you will.

Allows us to have a different look at this end of the season.

Miller is more my type of fullback and I expect him to push through the middle appt more than will does. I expect us to try and roll through the middle with bodies in motion first, (Tedesco style) then play wide

Hynes was good at fullback with the Storm because he had guys like Hughes and Munster to control the game and he could inject himself where he needed to. There was no pressure on him. But put him at fullback in our squad and that leave Moylan and Trindall to control things plus set up the movements that would put Hynes into space. Not going to happen. Miller in for Kennedy is the only thing I think Fitz can do.

Yes Miller BUT, Dykes was 18th man last week and this is how Fitz promotes new players into the squad. Next man up, Dykes. Apparently Trindall had a blinder for the Jets so this might be enough of a persuasion to try Hynes at the back again.
I really do not want to see Hynes at fullback. It didn’t work last time. Hynes did not know when to chime in and the whole thing was a confusing shitshow. Did Nicho and Trindall no favours at all.

Tricky is there if Hynes or Moyza falls over. That’s it.

Miller gets first go at fullback. If he’s injured it’s a Tracey/Dykes option.

This is why Fitzy gets paid the big bucks.

Last time Will went down for 2 weeks Fitzy didn’t like what he saw with his first option so he went with his second option the following week.

You’d think Miller gets first crack at it after his great debut last time.

A back 3 of Tracey, Miller & Ronnie gives us a lot power returning kicks that’s for sure. All 3 are explosive and hit the defensive line at great speed.

His scans came back ok and is a chance for this weekend.

As I said before Hynes, Trindall and Moylan is too many cooks in the kitchen. Nicho when he was at 1 tried to let Tricky run the show but it did not work and we wanted more from Nicho. Miller comes in at 1 and plays the same style as Kennedy. Do not over think it.

Miller also has that explosive speed, that will add to the team.
He is also dangerous inside the 20 with his step

If Hunt is not 100 percent don't play him.
Hazelton can start the game, play our bench as we did last week

So glad that a similar tackle that saw Nikora suspended for 2 weeks wasn't even charged by the MRC.
Though, I shouldn't be surprised.

If Kennedy would have stayed down, you could have bet it would have gone on report.
This is the problem, any tackle that has slightest chance of dicey you stay on ground wait for the bunker
