I actually feel bad for Perham. He clearly is hopeless but our coach is even more hopeless and continued to pick him until the entire home crowd boos him on every touch of the ball. Completely unheard of scenes concocted by CC coach clueless

In all seriousness even knowing it’s not going to happen:
  • Wilson or Burns to fullback and Perham dropped, never to return to first grade
  • Alamoti dropped, he needs a month in NSW Cup to get his confidence back
  • Skelton to wing and Kiraz to centre
  • Rajab dropped, he is miles off first grade and needs to relearn how to defend from scratch
  • Oloapu to 5/8, at least he will defend and will show some spark in attack
  • Morrin dropped, he is too small for a first grade forward, Brown to lock
  • Bench of Pele, Edwards, Hughes and Flanagan (who gives Reed a 20 minute break either side of halftime).
  • When Kikau and Thompson are fit they come in for Okunbor and Edwards/Hughes respectively.

I'd keep Morrin. He is committed, and a Bulldog through and through.

In his 9 games this year Flanagan has made 202 tackles at 90% efficiency, so 22 tackles per game with 2 missed.

In his 7 games this year Oloapu has made 156 tackles at 87% efficiency, so 22 tackles per game with 3 missed.

In other words they are virtually identical players defensively but Oloapu has way more upside in attack. Flanagan on the bench is the smartest move as it allows him to spell Reed for 20 minutes per game, plus he covers any injuries to the halves.

Morrin is the one I hesitated about the most but he is trying to be a hard running middle and just gets dominated too often given his size. I like him (and his combover) and would be ok him staying in but Brown offers more in my view, at least he can ball play.
