When hoppa and holland come back will des drop out debutants?

[ILiveForDib]

If he does he is clearly oblivious. Our backline was sparked having youth implemented. I'm hoping our backline will look like this

1. Abbey
2. Morris
3. Brenko
4. Josh Morris Hopaate should have a go in the second row. Lol that rhymed
5. Montoya

Id like to see them in the side, but Des is Des..

Hoppa will come straight back in. But Montoya showed confidence in attack, defense and most importantly under the high ball. I don't see why we can't keep him on that wing sport permanently.

Abbey still has a few more weeks to prove he belongs here

 

[Heckler]

I think Abbey might be the one if he doesn't improve he's bomb diffusion. It was always going to be the outcome tonight. Warriorsdid their homework on one of their ex players.

Montoya has to stay IMO. I'll reserve judgement on Abby until he has a few more games up his belt, but think maybe he is a year off.

 

[Royy]

The backline that played tonight is our best backline imo. At the start of the season it was hard to get excited about this team but suddenly with Lee, Montoya and Abbey in the team and with the Morris boys playing well we have some flare in the backs and are looking much more dangerous.

If Abbey can prove he's our best option at fullback I cant see where Hoppa fits into this team

 

[Freakzilla]

Hopoate is way better than Abbey. I'd prefer Tyrone Phillips get a shot at fullback over Abbey

I think if hoppa plays he defuses all the bombs and grubbers.

But in saying that can't be too hard on the kid, he did something not many do and that is debut in the 1 jersey.

Ideally I would like to have seen hoppa at centre or wing but not sure abbey is up to week in week out first grade just yet (he will be a sore boy in the morning) but then again the best way to improve is spent a month in the top grade. The experience he gets over the next month is invaluable to him.

Montoya showed some great hands and some good speed. I think if he got into the open field it would have been a good foot race. If he continues to play like that I can't see holland coming back in (but I know what Hasler thinks about holland and doubt he wouldn't slot him back in).

Can only hope the team will be picked on merit and not favouritism.

 

[Bulldog_NJ]

1) Floppa
2) B Moz
3) Lee
4) J Moz
5) Montoya

They don't come back for a while so let's see how things play out first.

There's no future in hoppa or Phillips.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Against Manly it shouldn't matter. Des will give Barrett a coaching clinic at Brookvale

Depends if Des wants to give Abbey more FG experience.

1. Abbey
2. Morris
3. Lee
4. Morris
5. Hopoate -->Holland/Montoya

 

[pupmichelle]

Montoya must stay on the wing. Montoya can teach Jmoz to catch a bomb and Bmoz can teach Lee how to diffuse bombs

 

[FreshSoulL]

Brad Abbey more likely to drop outta the side. Hoppa to fill.

Montoya if he keeps up the good performance should cement the spot

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

I reckon Abbey will come good but I think he could make a good 5/8 as well.
