Wing combination

[Marshall_magic]

Taking into consideration the fact that Collis and Lawrence seem to be cemented in the centers, who should be our wingers.

For me, Tuiaki has been below par this season, Tagive hasn't shown me anything to say he's up to it and McDonnell butchers 15 tries for every 1 he scores. Ryan is by far the best winger at the club, with Tuiaki getting the second spot.

Ryan and Tagive.

Tuiaki is ****.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

Ryan and Tuiaki by default. Jeez the bloke has the worst hands in the world, he can't read defences and his passing ability is on par with Halatau. On the other hand, he is capable of a few barnstorming runs a game. Once you weigh the competing factors I THINK his overall contribution is positive.

Tuiaki's form has gone off since he got his big fat new contract

Its a hard one to answer at this stage. For now, until we get a better idea how others will go, I'd say Ryan and Tuiaki, but Tuiaki had me nervous so much tonight, it was wet out there tho.

I'm curious why Lee Bennetts name is never bought up? He is a great player, he had a run in the Titans trial. Any reason we don't hear about him?

He's captain of BRET
Reserve grade captains are captains for a reason
The side won't lose them to first grade

when at the top of their game, Tagive and Tuiaki would be awesome.

at the moment, Tuiaki is falling into the Dean Widders, Owen Craigie mould. We'd be better off without him.

I think Lawrence should go to wing and move Morris to centre, that way Morris still gets a run, he's kept out of the halves, Lawrence will get more ball and more space to run. Overall that could be better.

On current form Ryan is by far and away the best winger, and McDonnell, unfortunately is second. He may butcher a heap of tries, but at least he's getting involved and having a ****ing go as compared to Tuiaki.

id rather lawrence and ryan on the wings. i think its time for tnt to move to the forwards

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

He wasn't much chop there either.

 

[Spank]

TNT & Ryan

or

TNT or Tagive

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

If TNT having personal problems that are affecting his form?

Or, is he just a ****ing lazy footballer?

 

[themanonthehill]

His new contract has been spent at KFC
As for J Mo in the centres ... the winger would catch a cold and touch the ball once in 80 minutes

Good, put him next to McDonnell

That way Sheens can have them both in the side, and we don't have to worry about Morris ****ing up plays or McDonnell bombing tries.

That's the closest you'll get to a win win situation here

As I've said before, with Morris' tendancy to rush out of the line in defence I'd be hesitant to defend at centre. The last two weeks coming off the bench when he's been defending mostly in the middle of the park has been fine, he doesn't have to make those decisions. I'd be willing to give it a shot for a week though, if only to give Tuiaki, the lazy coconut, a week in reserves.

Tagive was doing plenty of work before being injured, he wasn't setting the world on fire but at least he was putting in the effort. Similarly with Ryan. On this year's form, they've been the best combo and are my current first choice, until Tuiaki stops playing like a busted.
