News COACH Pay will make up to six alterations to the team which lost to Manly

[Phalangist]

Is Lewis there purely because we struggle to get out of our half and he has a big kick?

I seriously think this is the reason he Is in the team.

 

[D- voice]

Based on the fact that Pay doesn't believe that Meaney is ready for fullback
this is the team I would select
1 Hopoate
2 Meaney
3 Averillo
4 DWZ
5 Smith
6 Wakeham
7 Foran
8 Tolman
9 Katoa / JMK
10 To'omaga
11 Jackson
12 Napa doesn't male meters I wonder how he would go out wider
13 Elliott

14 JMK / Katoa
15 Britt
16 RFM
17 Ogden / Sue

Averillo starting is positive

Wait. You said something positive?
Mods, the Kennel has been hacked!

I hope it isn’t holland, the lads a turnstile

Who isn’t on our edges? Plenty of tries have been scored against us when he hasn’t been there.

 

[DoggyStyla]

Fuck I hope this is true. At least Hoppa can tune into the backline and pass.. Dogs by 20

 

[JUNKYARD DOGS]

Holland will come into the bench. Like it or not he’s played quite well out of dummy half in the past. And can cover multiple positions.
Good changes by Pay, kudos

It’s hard to be positive of late..

At least something is being tried. Wakeham for lewis would be my starting point. As good as Averillo has been with the ball he has struggled in defence but he won't get better from the stands. Needs to play.

Meaney always steps in on the wing, I feel like he is scared to be pulled in to touch. This indicates to me his not comfortable on the wing. A good winger should be confident to go for the corner. I think dwz addresses this issue. He is a class finisher and always has been.

I think our best option would be Meaney at full back with his good hands (and tell him to support play) , hoppa and averillo centre, Reimis and dwz on wing . This is the players playing on their best positions

How has he struggled in defence? Missed one tackle on Suli and Manly had numbers. Made some great tackles against the Cowboys

Forans probably rocked up to training and said right this is what’s gonna happen and made the changes himself LOLLLL

 

[doggieaaron]

Good to see pays reading the kennel

 

[DoggyStyla]

Sounds like what the senior players wanted!

 

[2ndphase]

This obviously wasn't Pays doing.
Apparently 4 senior players being reported expressing their opinions and there was a board meeting with Pay nek minute..
Bloody Remis in the centres wtf!

 

[Delta]

does this mean wakeham might come in on the bench??

 

[doggieaaron]

does this mean wakeham might come in on the bench??

Not if pay has his way

 

[doggieaaron]

This just proves my point with pay ,he’s clueless with selections

 

[Scoooby]

Thank fuck Averillo is starting, should be at fullback though, but he seems very versatile.!!

 

[Daustin]

that backline looks way better balanced! im tipping hoppa to have a blinder
