This is what happens when you sign a coach who was a 90's prop

Can any of the pay enthusiasts explain why dwz was moved to centre or why harper is on the bench?
Not really, I don't like either, but my guess is Pay wants Dallin's aggression to translate into defence. I expect us to try to rush up and jam in. As for Harper, maybe Pay's happy with Averillo to the halves if needed.

I really have to question that revised lineup.

DWZ plays his best game of the year on the wing where he belongs and Pay moves him into the centers days later after a win. I cant understand it.

Crichton doesnt belong in first grade, but to then have him up marking against Taupo is just fucking laughable!

Wakeham gone. Morgan benched. Wtf is going on?

Have anyone ever thought of the limited options Pay might have?
Harper is barely first grade quality. DWZ is a quality players and should be in the centre.
So who would you have play on the wing?

I think why play Harper he is leaving anyway
I dont think Harper gets any game time unless dwz struggles in the centres
Then they should have released him so he could get on with his career rather than cock block the kid.

So when Remis Smith returns, is Pay going to completely reshuffle this backline AGAIN?

Pay's already conceded a loss tonight as far as I'm concerned

Harper centre, DWZ wing, Wakeham on the bench (since Pay is persisting with Lewis).

Finally figured out these selections.

The opposition won’t know the game plan if the coach doesn’t know the gameplan.

So if Harper isn't first grade quality as you said, why not just drop him and put wakeham in?

Just wait for the use of interchange now that his 70 minute tolman is gone.

Sue is another fucking plodder.

Renouf will get 22 mins and Ogden 10 mins. With Britt being the main interchange for napa and sue

How do you put a winger at centre, a centre on the bench and have no player who can cover the halves or hooker on the bench when your 6 and 9 are Foran and JMK?

Averillo will go into the halves and Harper will go into centre.
