I'm not expecting any changes to the team.

We can win this game. Thought the dogs were lucky against the sharks. Scored two tries off errors at the beginning but after that, their small mobile pack couldn't match the physicality of the sharkies for the rest of the match. If it wasn't for Hynes choking at the end, they'd be coming into this on the back of a 2 game losing streak. Our pack is capable of outgrinding them in the middle.

Ali is injured
Is rts going to add speed in the wing
No- drop rts use Tt on the wing

Anyway we know the coach won’t change this side

Or

Because he is up against his old colleague Ciraldo

Will he?

 

[Te Mana-wah]

Would love to see Tuaupiki in there somewhere

Dogs were terrible in red zone attacks, their hooker just runs across the field and pass for a solo hit up, they just rely on Burton’s boots for field position and he gives them the advantage for golden points type situations

CNK needs a break, something’s off. Ali is listed as ready for R18. RTS has a better turn than Monty and speed off the mark for 20m, can help Taine on D in the corner, Cobbo scores if we didn’t have 2 fullbacks disrupting his dive in the corner tonight

 

[JustLikeStartingOver]

Imagine same team including late bench changes, but agree Charnze is looking off. But it’s the bye the week after so they probably won’t rest anyone.

Something very off with CNK, two weeks running now

Yeah, doesn't look very comfortable receiving kicks lately.

Quite weird..

 

[Blain]

Big game for our boys, after the bye we have a good chance to go 4 straight - If we are good enough. A win next week would set us up nicely for a run into the finals, a loss will need a 5 and 2 win loss record at least to finish the season. Which I can't see happening with the way we've been this year.

I don't think there will be any changes to be honest. I thought the forward pack was really good tonight, Lussick finally showed some spark off the bench which was surprising. Cobbo made RTS his bitch a bit there, but Montoya's lack of speed hurt us a couple times on attack and defense tonight. I'd like to see RTS moved onto the right wing and Ali or MGT brought into right centre. But I don't think it will happen.

If something is wrong with CNK, niggle or something, I'd sit him for Taine in a heartbeat.

 

[Cces]

Ford will likely retain his place but if he isn't starting & playing long minutes he'd be getting the axe from me to add someone capable of bringing impact from the bench like Ale

Yep ask Corey Horsborough.

 

[Inruin]

It will be the same team or close to it.

If it was up to me I'd pick

CNK
DWZ
MGT
Pompey
Montoya
CHT
TMM
AFB
Egan
Barney
Niukore
Capewell
Walker

Lussick
Jazz
Ale
Laban

And a clear direction to the hot heads in our team to ignore everything Reed Mahoney does or says

I'd be dropping Montoya before RTS but I like this team a lot. Right mix of youth and experience

 

[Wrighty]

Ford is slowly getting demoted.
From 80 minute edge forward
To 60 minute starting prop
To 30 minute bench prop tonight.
Hopefully next move is 💙 Mighty NSW cup

 

[Defence]

Same team.
Long term there’s a few guys we need to phase out but we’ve just had a morale boosting win- don’t fark with it.

 

[CWC]

Just imagine Ale, Afoa and Jazz off the bench…Ford and Tohu should be depth cover now…IDK if Tohu’s affecting the team but he played 24 minutes from 33-57th minute and we went 0:4 and was in a grind and when he is on the bench the score was 32:12

Like if your captain is only playing 24 minutes wouldn’t you just phase him out for younger guns like Ale or Laban?…..

Would you object to Ford being instructed to smash his teeth in if the game's decided with 5 to go? He'd be a hero to the rest of the league, and Jacko's on his way out anyway apparently, what a way to go.

Nah that's a stupid suggestion, I'm above that kind of behaviour.
