Theres too much evidence that Walsh and Shaun Johnson will work in the halves

Aitken to centre.

Yeah on one side Walsh is great , but if he's defending.... not so great

 

[Brother Faisal]

Yeah on one side Walsh is great , but if he's defending.... not so great

Asi is just as bad lol. Agreed if Chanel Harris-Tavita comes back then change him back to FB

 

[Dannevegas]

Walsh
Montoya
Vailea/Berry
Aitken
Pompey/Ratuva
Harris-Tavita
Johnson
Lodge
Egan
Fonua-Blake-(needs a fire cracker up his ass)
Katoa
Murchie
Harris

Tevaga
Afoa
Pene
Murdoch-Masila

I can’t give up on Katoa for some reason, just want him to play to his potential. Also kind of want to see Walsh and Chanel Harris-Tavita switch, the only negative from that is we’ll miss tavitas front line d. Dallin can get dropped for standing there and not helping Tevaga out with the Ilias try, Shits me that

 

[Canonball]

1. Montoya - offers yardage - not sure about organising the line -- or Corrigan (this guy looked good preseason, is listed as a fullback, but massive downside risk)
2. Dallin -- yeah, I know - but who else are you going to put there?
3. Vailea - he's good, needs some time settled in a position, excellent at support play
4. Pompey - underrated and has smarts
5. Kosi - has he done his time? It's just the Dragons after all... if not then Montoya here and Corrigan at FB..
6. Walsh - come on, he has to be here... his acceleration off the mark is a true weapon we're not getting full value from
7. Johnson - he'll come right


8. Fonua Blake
9. Egan
10.Lodge
11. Aitken - edge defence!
12. Harris
13. Tevaga

14. Otukolo / Chanel Harris-Tavita (available?) / .... Volkman (why not?)
15. Afoa
16. Pene
17. Murchie

Consistency in selection please. Injuries & suspension play their part but so far we've played 3 different guys at Left side Half, 3 different guys at Left Centre, 3 different guys at Left Wing, 4 different guys at Right Backrow (5 if you count Ben Murdoch-Masila off the bench), 3 different guys at Right Centre & 3 different guys at Right Wing.

yeah, I agree as general principle - we were screwed more by Aitken and Egan out yesterday more than anything else I think - but then we got to see what Walsh could do from dummy half and in the line, and for me it's like 'come on, accomodate this'

I like the idea of Walsh in the halves and I think that's a good team.
Except for Johnson. He offers nothing in the halves so I would try Walsh and Asi or Tevita-Harris if he was fit. And see what happens

 

[Wrighty]

Tohu Harris played 29 minutes last night.
40 minutes this week or will they go 50 minutes?

 

[Wrighty]

Warriors​

• Wayde Egan (calf, TBC)
• Euan Aitken (head knock, round 11)
• Chanel Harris-Tavita (groin, round 11)
• Jesse Arthars (shoulder, round 12)
• Bayley Sironen (osteitis pubis, round 12)
• Josh Curran (knee, round 13)
• Tom Ale (knee, mid-season)

I wonder if Tom Ale will get a game at some point? Wiki lists him as second row, lock or prop
6 foot 0 and 108 kgs

Chanel Harris-Tavita back this week apparently?
Aitken back too hopefully?
