Hope you're right. Jackson kills the attack with his shocking passing and has no footwork, no opposition would worry if he was running at their 5/8 or centre combo.
Yep as I said I don’t think Jackson has it as a backrower these days . But I don’t think Elliott does either. Does anyone recall him playing a good game on an edge ?? He has played in the middle for a while now.
There’s no way rfm should be benched let alone used as a middle forward his strength is running lines on the edge. It should be:
I just remembered hetherington insert him wherever you want
Napa, thompson and hethro will be in the team
Agree, my team would be:
Surely we get out of the bottom 4 with that team ffs......
You’d think so. Certainly not a team full of world beaters but if guys like averillo DWZ can fire and wakeham and JMK can be competent we can take some steps towards a top 8 finish before a few More signings for next year
Only thing id change after looking at it.
Fair enough personally I disagree I think rfm is a better athlete and playmaker than you give him credit and in a team devoid of X factor he would be wasted taking 15 hit ups a game. Only change id consider would be hetherington starting over to’omaga. I would put a back row of rfm elliott and Jackson up there with one of the best in the comp
I would have:
I would have okunbor there too but didn’t include because of his injury and I don’t mind averillo in the halves less enthusiastic about wakeham at hooker and again hate rfm in the front row
RFM is a little lazy on his lateral defence, but I hope that better fitness and more competition in the backrow will bring out more in his game. A bit difficult for him, but he could fill a bench role to cover the back row and also at a pinch the front row under the way the game is currently played.
I think that you are right there. The last few years our defence has been the "wait & let them come to us" approach plus a lot of arm tackles. I hope that the impact of one David Furner may be of significant value to the team. Positive aggressive defence combined with good positive attck.......one cautionary note however, is that it may take half the season for the team to actually fully gel as a unit.
Unfortunately it's sad but true about JJ, he has busted his guts and virtually carried the team for some years, and now appears to be past it. I'm not a fan of Elliot either, Napa could fire 2021 been his contract year, but the truth is that we could be carrying 1, 2 or even3 plodders again this year by the looks of things.
All this talk of RFM and you don’t even put him in the side is he playing as half ? Centre maybe ? Come on hahahhaa
Yeah that's why the coaches get paid the big bucks... Fucked that one up.
Just like the idea of a really fast and mobile forward pack with Waddell, Dorrey and Hetherington all in the side. Not sure it will happen though barring injury.
