I hate these games.
The way Capes was benched [?... was he? wasn't at centre anyway] at the end of last night's game is probably an indication of where changes will be ... we had TMM on the left and pompey had moved to the right to fix the defence ... so we will have a new centre I think, personally I'd put Leka there to get him into space, preferably on the left with Rog ... Otherwise it's a straight swap of Ali in for Capes ... FB Idk, TT is a good defender, CNK on the other hand does exactly what is asked of him every game ... I'd move Marata into the front row as well
Noticed in the post match celebration he had his knee and quad/thigh iced. So if anything he either misses this game or reverts back to the edge.
I hope you're right CB. Our defence that edge is DWZ jamming in and the centre swooping around to cover the wing. Which works with a fast centre, and worked from the time Capes was hooked, clearly not 100%. Even so, DWZ's errors are making him a 50:50 pick.
I like TMM for centre and healey 14. We were crying out for the spark Healey brings in last nights game.
Newcastle had such a good gameplan and they exploited DWZ+Capewell superbly.
Leka to centre is appetizing. But Leka has the ability to excel in 11. I wouldn't mess with potential greatness by trying to make him a stop-gap elsewhere.
vs Newcastle we 'Got Out Of Jail'.
When we've done something like that in the past we've played the next few weeks like we can pull a rabbit out of a hat again if we need to, and lacked urgency until it's too late.
Let's hope Webby slaps that thought out of their heads this week and the aim up from kick off this week. I agree with above posts. Nothing certain about this game at all.

Outside of our center troubles I'm looking forward to a massive game this week for Boyd and Clark. I'm sure they'll be absolutely revving to go against the team that didn't want them. There is no way those two will let the team treat them lightly I'm sure.
Expecting Boyd to brush off the yips for this one. And Clark to run over RCG and who ever else is in the middle. I don't get the vibe that these titans games will be like last year if these two are playing against them with something to prove.

Yup, we need our "power" A game. Go through them and give them no ball and little time. The Tits seem to be in freefall at the moment but that shouldn't affect how we play.
CNK to centre and keep the rest as is other than maybe Healey to the bench for a point of difference. About time he had another shot.
Maybe not this week but we can't be far away from seeing how the TMM/TB thing goes in first grade. Killed it in cup although Webby is pretty conservative
All DWZ needs is someone next to him that can give him directions, maybe use similar sign language to the try scoring antics. He seems to be good with that.
Through the front door
A Healey would go well against the Titans.

Tino should be out this week. LCL injury
Question?
Does anyone here think we can go a other level come finals?
Other teams are starting runs and others may be peaking already, like the Raiders for example.
Is it okay that we are coasting along without looking great and maybe we lift come finals time? Or is this just us and we are lucky to be where we are?

Where has the notion that Halasima can seamlessly shift to Centre come from?
From the records I can find he played solely Second Row in the Dean Bell Cup in 2022 and Lock in a Future Warriors Selection that same year, the '23 SG Ball season at Lock, only 1 out of his 30 appearances in NSW Cup has been at Centre and 20'ish minutes on debut, when he had moments of brilliance on attack but didn't excel defensively.
There's absolutely no need to burden him with a new role

I don't think that's right. six wins would give us 42 points. 3rd and 4th last year after the regular season had 38 points each. The same was true in 2023. 38 points did it. That's 4/7.
At this point, I don't really know.
On the one hand:
We seem to be rolling from injury to injury, our right edge is horrendous and it seems like we've been clutching games all season.
On the other hand:
We've been winning despite the fact that we seem to be rolling from injury to injury, our right edge is horrendous and we've had to clutch most of our wins this season.
I'm not quite sure, as I feel like we've only seen one 'power' game out of this team this season: the sharks.
Fatialofa to centre? We need speed and tackle bust ability to combat theirs.
Could toeava do the job?
Hes been 18th man last two weeks, could he get that right centre spot?
