Mighty fend by Montoya!

Ale absolutely stabbed someone with a fend and sat him down (I think he got sat on his ass, going off memory).

Give the man his flowers?!!!

Great problem to have.
It’s his spot now to lose @7 after steering the ship to two impossible wins imho.

I am. We finally found a way to get him involved. The key is to replicate that when SJ returns.

Here’s the math
SJ is a better 7 than TMM
CHT is a better 6 than TMM
TMM is a better DH than Lussick

My plan would get all three of those players on the paddock in the highest mean of positional quality.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

BTW has SJ signed on for another year yet?….. and do we really need him

That’s a biiigggg question. I’d prefer a season too early than too late. But older halves are aging well at the moment.

Surely this post is a wind up? SJ was one our best performers in a losing team

He sat Nicholls with a shoulder from memory

I'm loving the hunger he is showing. Looks like he just bounces everywhere.
How did he not get more than 20 this week?

Chanel was a great bench option earlier in the year as it was either him or Lussick. Now with Metcalf out and the 'discovery' of Roache. CHT has to be the 6 with Roache on the bench. With Egan being able to move to 6 if needed we can cover the whole backline that way

He will be back. It's pretty much SJs position when he is fit with a hopefully more active TMM at 6.

Roache will be out for a while apparently. May require ankle surgery.

Must be his motor. I’m hoping. He’s so hungry on both sides of the ball. I really want to see him, Laban and Zyon Maiu’u in the midfield ripping and tearing.

Even more reason to move TMM to hooker.

 

[WahsUltras]

Even more reason to move TMM to hooker.

That could be a potential long term plan for him. Give him a similar role to the one Foran played in the kiwis last year.

Now I have stats backing what I have been saying

Objectively speaking it's a no brainer to play TMM at both 6 and 7 in the same game since he has higher average in both positions than SJ, if we want to stick with statistics, that TMM halfback % is premiership level elite. Clone machine here we go

Pretty much....stats

 

[Kav1]

From potential retirement from a neck injury last year to now captaining the Wahs and playing for 💙 Mighty NSW!

Reserve only so doubt he will have any playing time. Still good education and will return injury-free against the Cowboys.

 

[Kav1]

Are we really that big on TMM all of a sudden? He had a shocker first half last week and was average at best this week. Does winning really skew people's opinions on players that much?

He has dominated both games at 7 so shows he's not a one-horse wonder or a show pony. Get off his back Lance
