Think we all agreed Moses is shredding it at Fullback. I think he’s viable there long term for us.

But.....What spine helps our team more TODAY and now:
Hoppa
Moses
Foran
Lichaa
Or
Moses
JMK
Foran
Lichaa

As much as we’ve sorted our fullback issue, we’ve severely weakened our halves with Frawley/JMK playing.

To me, having watched what we’ve dished up for 5 weeks, our playing style and balance is out of whack. We’re trying to go around teams when we don’t have the cattle.
But we do have the cattle to go through them, should our forwards ever decide to support each other and run to the line in numbers. Moses with his footwork up the middle, or simply pushing up and following the ball carriers (Foran even), would be a threat.
Desperate times Deano....WHERE’s The MaDNesS????

 

[Scoooby]

Maybe give jmk a shot at 9 as he is quick an nimble.
But other than that it’s deans call an we can only hope he makes the right one in the end.

Be good to see how much the boys attitude changes in this evenings game.

Huge effort required to be competitive an stay in the game for the full 80mins

 

[Mr Invisible]

1. Moses
6. JMK / Brown
7. Foran
9. Lichaa > Brown/JMK
14. Brown/JMK

I suppose another option would be Lewis in place of Brown. Maybe he's being used as centre in NSW Cup for utility value in first grade.

Moses needs to stay at fullback, he's been moved around far too much in the past and is finally finding his feet.

 

[KiwiDog7]

I’m hopeful Pay told JMK to ease into FG and not do too much for his first few games

Hopefully today the kid gets more involved and helps Foz out

 

[Moedogg]

I would be happy with Mbye/ Foran in the halves and Hoppa at the back.

JMK doesn't seem to offer much creativity, especially with sweep plays in the opposition 20m.

 

[Boxer]

Just try Lewis in the halves with jmk on the bench.

 

[caltan]

You have such a short memory Moedogg. Finally. Moses has found his ideal position where he has been a revelation and could potentially be our X-Factor in the future. When he was in the halves he was only a runner and was not capable of being creative. Now you want to put him back in the halves. Also Hoppa was never a threat when he was our fullback.

 

[caltan]

I agree with you Boxer. Give Lewis a try. I wonder how long it will take Pay to select him.

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

Put Lewis in.

 

[Mr Invisible]

JMK can actually play fullback as well

 

[Gabe]

Best spine for our team right now:

1. B Moz
6. Foran
7. Mbye
9. JMK

Longer term

1. Mbye
6. Foran
7. Cogger
9. JMK or recruit Hastings, the Seg, Rein?

 

[Dognacious]

I dont see our spine being the problem at all.

 

[Baseball Furies]

Just try Lewis in the halves with jmk on the bench.

Agreed, it honestly couldn’t get much worse!

We’ve tried Frawley then JMK, we’re still tinkering...

Give him a crack!!

 

[Bad Billy]

I dont see our spine being the problem at all.

Soft forwards and right side defense need attention more than our spine.

 

[D- voice]

Simple
1 mbye
6 JMK / Lewis / Brown
7 Foran /Cogger
9 Lichaa / Woolford
Their forms should decide their fate

 

[doggieaaron]

I reckon jmk would be a good centre

Didn't you see how crap JMK is? A combination of Mbye/ Foran will be far more effective than JMK/Foran for the short term, until we get a decent 5/8 to partner Foran.
Hoppa isn't a threat but is still the best positional fullback at the club.

 

[pugsley]

Best spine for our team right now:

1. B Moz
6. Foran

9. JMK

Longer term

1. Mbye
6. Foran

9. JMK or recruit Hastings, the Seg, Rein?

Let’s get excited about Cogger NOT
playing in a IPS team that hasn’t won a game and he missed over a quarter of his tackles last week

 

[BondiBulldog]

I usually like Magdog says but Mbye in the halves is the ultimate no, no.

Totally missed my point.

Was talking about the balance and what’s best for the side. Sure, Mbye has done well at fullback- we’re still 1-4.

Our halves are weakened, and we’ve never seen him in the halves since Foran has been here.

Sucks not having a worthy spine, and having to do with a makeshift spine since Barba left.
