Thommo and hetherington needs to be starting front row
That would be the ideal situation, but as far as balance goes I just feel we lack soooo much impact from the bench.
That's my opinion anyway.

Thanks mate.. I didn't know he did. Thought it was mainly halves. How did he go there? As I said, he has the potential for that to be his best position. But the question is can he handle it in the NRL? I still think he'd need to train there or play fullback in Reserves first.
One way would be keep him at centre or wing and in games swap him around with Allan from FB or as it was meaney we are that thin on good players to put him in reserves, but obviously
he can play there to perfect the trade not like we are winning games in nrl

Allan
Avo
Cotric
Hopa
Dwz

Hopa and dwz will continue to be shit, so once hopefully Okunbor is fit, they have added Schouup in maybe and Avo goes well with fb, mid year backline

Avo
Allan
Schouup
Cotric
Okunbor / Dwz

I wouldnt mind seeing avo and Okunbor at the back it will refreshing to see some speed and a big fast body and the end of the day the pack is shit hopefully thomo &topine fire the fairys up

Wing would be asking a lot of him. It's such a specialist position and he would be targeted non stop. At least he's played centres before and he can just focus on his running game.

Hetherington didn't even connect. He has no case to answer for.
according to some **** on here his boyfriends boyfriend is a ref at 3rd grade level and thinks the charge is warranted. Fair dinkum

I would rather not have hoppa in centres but playing against Olam, theres no way in hell I'd be putting jake in centres to defend against olam. Hoppa should be able to handle him.


Even consider putting Jackson on the bench to interchange with renouf, at least Jackson coming on will provide some tight defence with our bench forwards

I'm a Doorey fan but I'm pretty sure he came off injured on the weekend. I doubt he's available this week.

Next minute, Olam runs straight through Hoppa to score a try.

it’s not a bad side and similar to what I thought, but apart from your hatred for Lewis why pick Avo to start and in the 6? Surely even Avo’s biggest fans are concerned for his well being?

Running out of fg options all round but Hoppa to FB. He prefers FB so might put in this game and does join in the backline, while Allen does not and Allen might defend better than Will Turnstile.

Anyone, but anyone, instead of DillNapa.

What's the point of sticking with lewis? He has no future at the club, this has already been answered in previous seasons. Jake maybe does have a future. This season should be about building for the future and working out which players to keep by giving them a chance in 1st grade.

Jake's struggling with the speed of the game, ie speed of making decisions. He's not going to benefit from reserves, the games played at a slower speed.

Jake needs to learn to inject himself and that comes with more games, he's showed in the past he has a kicking game, he needs to learn to inject himself for kicking too.

He hasnt even proven that hes ready enough to handle the speed of reserve grade in a halves position let alone fg.
