I hope this doesn't get merged with the round 7 team lists but anyway.


NRL TEAM
1 BEN BARBA
2 STEVE TURNER
3 JOSH MORRIS
4 JAMAL IDRIS
5 BRYSON GOODWIN
6 KRIS KEATING
7 TRENT HODKINSON
8 AIDEN TOLMAN
9 MICHAEL ENNIS
10 MICKEY PAEA
11 FRANK PRITCHARD
12 ANDREW RYAN
13 DAVID STAGG

INTERCHANGE
14 JAKE FOSTER
15 GRANT MILLINGTON
16 MICHAEL HODGSON
17 DENE HALATAU


Now I just want to know, with that side, I have a few questions.

What if Barba gets injured, what happens?
What if Keating gets injured, what happens?
What if Hodkinson gets injured, what happens?
What if Ennis gets injured, what happens?

I don't want to know what you think Moore would do, but what would you do.

For me, personally:
Barba - Move Morris to fullback and put Halatau in his place.
Keating - Move Morris to Fullback, Halatau to centre, and Barba to 5/8.
Hodkinson - Keating to half, Barba to 5/8, Morris to Fullback and Halatau to centre.
Ennis - Halatau straight to hooker.

I'm talking about injuries in game

I hope you don't consider this a dud thread, I'm just curious.

I think your pretty close, but I think they would put Turner to fullback before Morris

Barba - Turner to Fullback, Lafai/Lett to wing.
Keating - Roberts to 5/8. Easy.
Hodkinson - Give Sezar a go, otherwise Keating to half, Roberts to 5/8
Ennis - Keating to Hooker, Roberts to 5/8

Too many changes will disrupt any momentum. If either half goes down then Halatau or Foster will jump straight in. Ennis goes down Halatau straight swap. Either centre is Halatau again. If barba goes down Turner is the replacement so might have to put Halatau on the wing with Idris helping out with bombs in defense. Our bench should cover any injuries during the game. Very versatile. Just seems a bit light on props. Especially with Paea starting. In my books he was going to be our bench prop for the whole year but certain circumstances have changed that. Bench would have looked much better with a better starting prop and Paea coming on as an impact prop.

i would move foster to 5/8 instead of reshuffling half the backline.

If your gonna do that, i'll shift Stagg to 5/8 rather then a rookie whose never played there.
these days 5/8s are just myths. Foster has played some of his junior footy in the halves. It would mean he would get more ball and will be taking on the line.

But stagg to 5/8 is also a possibility with foster then going into the 2nd row

true, barba at times plays like a second five eighth in attack anyway. he can help out. remember when ennis was sin binned and keating went to hooker. barba played five eighth and fullback.

the only youngster who can play the old school 5/8 role seems to be Gareth Widdop. Shame, its a dying art in professional football.
