Reimis and Okunbor is a lot of height on the right side.

Surely you would reshuffle the backline to this:

1. Meaney
2. Okunbor
3. Hopoate
4. Harper
5. Smith

Play the fucking players in their proper positions.
I agree, I'd rather that too. It's usually better to change 1 position then 2-3 others.

That backline looks so dodgy defensively I don’t like our chances in this game at all.

Smith is best finisher and winger at the club and we are putting him in the centres, Hopoate is the best centre at the club and we are putting him at fullback when we have a good young fullback literally on the wing. Pay is just so stupid sometimes.

I’d be more worried bout their forwards tbh, haas and fifita
That backline is the scraping the bottom of the barrel of our depth. There’s literally no one else in our top 30 that can play if we get an injury during the week. The forwards are still pretty strong to what we have named over the last few weeks but we did get bullied by the Broncos up at Suncorp. I think this one could get a little ugly for us.

Well we could have Second Rowers playing Centre :D Haas and Fifita (when he runs in field) is a lot of pace in the middle. If I remember correctly that killed us last time we played the Broncos. They're both the prototype forwards for then next 10 years so it's somewhat expected and not much we can do about it.

It's worth trying a couple of things in this game. Harper will have a lot more motivation in the off season now, and Reimis in the centre's will be interesting. I agree Hass and Fifita (and Staggs) could go off though. It's a big test for those young guys. Hope Renouf gets some bigger minutes this week.

Still don't understand why you would rip the reserves captain and undoubtedly their best forward out of their elimination final for a nothing game...

Reggies isn't a elimination final and to be honest I'd rather Renouf test himself against the Broncos big boys.
