There was so many options for Ciraldo to replace Avo today but it was like he was deer in headlights.
1. Burton to centres, JR to 6.
2. Davey to centre (played many games at Manly quite well - whenever there was an injury).
How the Eels didn't score about 10 tries down Avo and Oks side still astounds me. Poor by Brown and Moses
I thought the reason we were out of the game so early was because we had a centre not being able to somewhat jog defending against sivo

You think Josh Reynolds can play 80 minutes with intensity?

Left centre is similar to 6, especially for a left sided player. Not a totally different position like fullback.

That's why Burns is on the bench. If Reynolds can't last then Burns goes into centre with Oloapu moving to 7.

Probably my favourite thing about this game was seeing Flange swapped to dummy half because he is useless as a halfback
He got an offload off pangai at one stage. He even stifled that you could see how he tried to change it up in the first 20. He was trying things he normally wouldn’t so no doubt he got a tap on the shoulder. Then ended up at 9 later on in the game.

Looks good on paper. But we all know Ciraldo won’t make wholesale changes. He doesn’t even carry a second prop on the bench. Preferring a 33 year old half to play lock :tearsofjoy:

Burns comes in (if fit), okunbor starts. If averillo is out then Casey comes in (most likely). We will leak points like mofos with okunbor on the wing like 2020-2022.

The balance of the team is completely out of whack at the moment.

No speed in the backline
No creativity in the halves
2nd row looks toothless

Major issues we are unable to resolve as we have no depth
