[Turvey Chip and Chase]

Hopoate
Morris
Morris
Harper
Smith
Lewis
Keighran
Klemmer
Cook
Graham
Jackson
CHN
Finucane

Tolman
Taupau
Lane
CHN

Something like that should get the job done

 

[Spoonman84]

I know its negative. But i can't see where our points come from. We are out of our depth in the nrl atm

Yeah it’s going up be a struggle. We need to get ball to Smith I’d even consider moving him to centre just to get him more involved.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

How about this.... throw the cheque book heck throw the leagues club at Bellamy and staff and bring them to the dogs. We need a total clean out and need consistency introduced back into the club. Melbourne are the old dogs. Tough smart and difficult to win against. Starts from the top and no matter who we sign the place stinks of Des crap and it seems like it’s gojng to take a miricale to get rid of it.

thats similar to the des move. we need to find our own style again.

 

[Trafford10]

So the first change is to get RFM, Holland and Montana to use their shoulders in tackles!!!!
What was the shit of tackling using only their arms.

 

[Isaac]

Move Holland back to the right to give us that Smith-Holland combo that worked so well last year. Bring in CHN into centre for his defense. Hopoate and Meaney to switch in the game to give Meaney experience before he takes over permanently. JJ moves to lock with RFM moving back to the left and Martin coming into the team.

01. Will Hopoate
02. Nick Meaney
03. Corey Harawira-Naera
04. Kerrod Holland
05. Reimis Smith
06. Kieran Foran
07. Lachlan Lewis
08. Aiden Tolman
09. Michael Lichaa
10. Dylan Napa
11. Rhyse Martin (k)
12. Raymond Faitala-Mariner
13. Josh Jackson (c)

14. Jack Cogger
15. Adam Elliott
16. Danny Fualalo
17. Ofahiki Ogden

Warriors played aggressive, we didn’t match that. Fix the back 5 then we will win games. My pick would be
1.meaney
2. Chrichon
3.smith
4.hoppa
5.chn (strong, defender and good ball runner)
13.martin (gk and support play)
14.holland (x factor)
15.elliot
16.sue
17.chris Smith (quick, offloader and tuff)

 

[Bulldogz82]

Why he moved him is a bloody mystery but maybe Holland defending next to Foran did it. Regardless they desperately need to gel next week or we are in for a very long year.


What I cant believe is how Pay cant see this shit? For example....


His best tackler should lock up the middle. His two best line runners and very smart agile footballers ( perfect backrowers ) aren't even in the team and in there place is a kid who hasn't played a game in over a yr! By God you cant be that naïve?

Agree mate it's mind blowing some of these selections.
Jacko should be lock, Rhys Martin should start on 1 edge.
As for the outside backs I would try Chn at centre, he is a solid defender with some size about him and that would open up room for Martin to get back into the side .
Crighton is not first grade standard and way too short to be a winger these days.
Meaney for his speed alone should be somewhere in the team and jmk should not take a bench spot.

Hoppa(alternate with meaney)
Meaney(alternate with hoppa)
Chn
Holland
Smith
Foran
Lewis
Tolman
Lichaa
Napa
Martin
Rfm
Jackson

Elliot
Ogden
Smith
Sue

 

[shannon2009]

Swap Foran and Cogger. Lewis 6 cogger 7 . When nu brown is back he takes Lichaa spot at least he is some threat from dummy half. Meaney fb, hop 4 , Holland and smith same side, Martin 12 rfm 17 Jackson 13, chn 11. Tolman gone, replaced with Ogden. Elliott rfm fualalo and sue on the bench.
Anyway that’s my SuperCoach efforts. Going for aggressive team to start games if Tolman needs to be in the team he can plug holes around the middle when Ogden and Napa tire as that’s usually when other clubs bring on faster dummy halves to exploit us

13. Josh Jackson (c)

14. Jack Cogger

16. Danny Fualalo
17. Ofahiki Ogden

Well my back 5?
1.Meaney ( the new general)
2.chriton ( improving)
3.smith (my X factor )
4.hoppa (defence and ball skill)
5.okunbor ( strong, safe, leg speed)

 

[Tassie Devil]

I've said it before, but will say it again ...

For me, changing the side completely means Pay has lost it and should be replaced immediately. He's come into the new season with a plan, something he's created with his team throughout the offseason. Whether it's good or not, whether he's going in the right direction or not only time will tell.

But if he seriously changes the team as much as you guys are wanting, then I do believe his days are numbered. It would just demonstrate how little he's thought about the team and and little his belief is in himself.

In my mind he should stick with the same team with perhaps one change.

 

[alchemist]

it is hard to see a fix for us for 2019... we just don't have the squad to compete and we will be lucky to avoid the spoon

still very hard to believe the degradation of a once powerhouse club - recruitment, retention, development, coaching, achievement etc.

We would rank at the bottom in all relevant categories indicative of a successful club

WTF?! we are fast becoming what the old Souffs used to be

I have to agree here. A coach making wholesale changes this early is not a good look. It’s only round one, I’d be waiting a round or two before making changes.

The only change I would like to see would be Meany to FB, Hoppa replaces Montoya. Montoya has no place in FG.

 

[dogwhisperer]

Can someone unban NabFab

Hahaha...he would of lost it with his comments! Definitely would of been entertaining though!

Yeh, bring him back!!

 

[dogwhisperer]

We are actually wasting our time with the changes we need to make! There’s about 7 players in our side who are not first graders.

We got no one to replace them with. We have the worst roster in the NRL. I can’t remember the last time we had a crap roster like this one. Maybe the end of 2008 when we had Warburton, Youngquest, Joe Williams, Winitana, Heka Nani, Fred Briggs etc

 

[Dogna88]

RFM is a bench (impact) player and should be played as that.

1 to 5 who knows

6. Lewis
7. Foran

8. Tolman
9. JMK
10. Napa

11. Jackson
12. CHN
13. Elliot

14. RFM (swap with Elliot)
15. Fualalo
16. Sue
17. ???? (Holland if out of centres or rookie forward)

I agree with Meaney. I saw enough of him in reserves and can do the job for us at the back.
​

Get Harper or Hoppa in centre or both if Holland struggles.

RFM off an edge and Martin / CHN as your edge forwards and watch the points flow.

This! I can't believe it's this bad and worst part is how long are we gonna suck?

What about Crichton? He’s a huge liability under the high ball.
