No changes apart if Capes is ready for Marata.

 

[Zaggo]

Assuming Capewell is back, swap him for Niukore, and that's it for me.

Don't change a winning side.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

I know we have a few 'better' players to come back in CNK, LM, Pompey etc but surely we cant change a winning team after a performance like that.

Webby's already tried that this year, and not saying the changes were the only reason we lost, but it deffo contributed to the clunkiness.

Same team for me. Maybe Capewah for Gannon on the bench, and then we decide if Capewah or Niukore plays on the day?
Or if TSS is out, maybe play Niukore in the middle?

Im excited because AKP barely had any opportunities, so it would be great to see him get another shot on the wing. I thought he showed a lot of heart and commitment, made some tough carries and brave bomb defusals, and seemed to be pumping the boys up after a good hit etc. I really liked what he brought and if thats on the lower end of performances he could be a real asset. If he plays like that, becomes a solid finisher and has the odd x factor try/try assist hell be picked all year

Except you’re making changes

U can’t be serious?

U can’t be serious?

The fact that it includes a suspended Adam Pompey is suspicious

 

[JustLikeStartingOver]

Taine would be the one player from last night not happy with his game, no problem if they brought CNK back at FB, he’s basically only had rd 1 there and was good. Don’t play him at centre though, Persevere with Ali

[3rdstriker]

No changes apart if Capes is ready for Marata.

Yep, why mess with a winning formula again.

 

[Lance155]

Happy with Roger to have another week at centre (while Pompey is out) and AKP with another crack. I don't want him to stay there long term however. His post match was interesting basically explaining why he was so poor the last 2 weeks.

 

[rugged]

Taine would be the one player from last night not happy with his game,

Nuikore had some work ons - slipped off Clark for the first try and was the up top defender on the initial
offload for the 2nd

 

[Noitall]

Yep, why mess with a winning formula again.

The coach made his call and for all we know it might work out a great call to get some game time into Metcalf’s legs though he picked up another injury? Fortunately it’s not as bad as expected, but it’s a long season and more injuries will be inevitable at some point as much as you hope not and unable to predict to who? I agree though, don’t change it

True, but if he’s signed his deal with the knights he don’t give a fuck lol.

Na that edge is the best we’ve seen in a long time, if Webby reverts back to Pompey and Roger I’ll lose it.

 

[Noitall]

That can often be the case but I didn’t get that impression at all from him. He made the grand final apart of an eels team after signing with us with plenty of that season to go

 

[Lance155]

The whole team was the best defensively we have seen in a long time. Did Roger playing centre cause all of that as well?

 

[Sammyw]

We have crazy depth and need to stop thinking about what we do in 2-4 weeks etc, take each week as it comes and pick on form.

I’m assuming TSS is out and that capes is back. I personally prefer CNK to TT at 1 but I also prefer not to mess with what’s working, the team that played last night deserves to go again. Laban off the bench had his best game of the year. Ford needs to go 80 again, but capes can also spell Niukore who can then go into the middle rotation. If capes isn’t fit, give Gannon a go.
