We need to drop Lichaa from the bench - he offers nothing. Bring in RFM or Ogden.
U need 1 utility though in case a non forward gets injured. We got through last week with 1 forward on the bench for a half so don't need 4

You can get away with murder at the Tigers so I think Sue will turn up this week knowing that he is fighting for his spot... He can be a damaging player on his day and is a big boy but can be very inconsistent

Agreed! I think with our performances in the last 2 weeks a lot of players will want to be part of this team as it looks like we are on the up!

i was not impressed by his first 2 performances in the blue and white, but everyone deserves a second chance .. lets just hope he takes it ..

As an unemotional observer I noticed the Dogs are not yet playing the full 80 minutes.
I was impressed with the game against the Storm but your guys let it slip and grasped defeat from the jaws of victory.
Play the full 80 against St Merge and should come away with the 2 competition points.
Your bench is weak though - why are several of your better players (last year) not getting a run?

Love ogden starting - danny f for sue and rfm for lichha we will need some size against dragons forwards
Frizell is in form, would like to see if RFM can find some form from the bench, we need to prepare like we did last year, it sure worked, the Dragons will be looking for respect in front of their traditional home.

Sue will do better this time around given a second chance.

We lose a lot of size with Napa out I would add another fwd to the bench for Lichaa.

Bit tough on Fualalo, he was great in reggies on the weekend and we're gonna need some size against this Dragons pack.

We get far more value with lichaa off the bench than we do with another second rower. Too much to expect jmk to play 80 and it allows us to cover for injuries to the halves or backline.
I’d like to see JMK pushed to 80 mins. I hope at some point this season we see it happen

I can't wait to see Ogden start and try and murder people...

Sue should consider himself lucky he's back so soon. Hopefully being dropped is a wake up call and he makes the most of the opportunity.

Lichaa on the bench makes no sense. Despite RFM being out of form, the injuries against Melbourne last week prove that we need to carry four forwards.

Licha isn’t a utility. He’s a nothing—he’s not good at anything. We have players in our team that can cover all forward positions, and all backs. We need 4 forwards on the bench, or a proper utility

I'd argue an extra forward would've benefited us more last week. Jackson and CHN are versatile enough and Tolman can play hooker for all I care. Lichaa offers nothing of major importance.

Not a Fualalo fan, but thought he would get a run. Hopefully Sue had got the wake up call he needed
