After the titans game my thoughts are.

Team needs to be
teddy
tupou
Aubusson
mitchell
fergo
keary
cronk
napa
friend
lui
matterson
Cordner
rad/tko

jwh
tet
rad/tko
baptise

second half shows we can play a power game down the middle third if we offload and the forwards actually have a dig. How ironic Napa rocks up around origin. Tko needs to used wider he isn’t a prop and although Liu played second row today he can fill in the middle. Lock alows tko to have later carries and chose his spot to run, his footwork and ball play at the line is an asset we need to use. Mitchell needs 10 touches a half and early ball. This is up to keary. We lack a right centre and manu isn’t the answer. He’s got some footwork but isn’t all he was made out to be. Aubusson will maybe do for this year as a stop gap but we lack another prop and centre. So our right side needs to be where we use teddy and Aubusson runs indeed to give him room. Give radley more time on the field he’s a gun. Friend played ok today but geez he’s average baptise needs more game time he’s zippy and can break a game, all friend can break is the kick dead record and tackle count, he’s slow and besides smith there’s a clear direction where the good modern day hookers are heading. It isn’t a workhorse spot anymore you can’t just be there to make 50 tackles a game and that’s job done need pace and control eg. cook, korosau, Granville, Luke seggy etc. or smarts and a kicking game: smith, Wallace, Hodgson

Future of our club doesnt include baptise. Maubs to the bench and manu back to centres

Lost me when I reached Aubbo.

G'day.
Pretty thoughtful post. I'm starting to think that Baptiste on the bench is a luxury we can't afford at the moment.
Trent aint gonna bite the bullet with Friend, so I'd just use Radley while we spell him.
Manu is worth persisting with I reckon.
I'd like to see SST out wider as well, but Liu , Cordner and Matterson can't play up front.
Hope Tetevano can keep his form from yesterday.

Best attacking DH is radley. With toupo back, boo and maubs can cover friend.

WTF did Robbo play friend for 76 minutes? I have long called out he is not a captain because he is service to self. He should have come off for baptiste and given our attack some spark and options.

[Ivan Benko]

I agree with 20 minutes to go in the first half Baptiste should have been on we would have gone to half time at least on par with Titans. Put Friend back for the first 20 minutes of second half and than put Baptiste on again against a tiring Titans defence. Aubs must start from the bench if and when Toups return's as he hasnt got a passing game and dies with the ball instead of feeding our backs.

It’s a rubbish idea to put Rads at 9 unless of course we are desperate. I want him running the ball up the middle and creating havoc just like he did yesterday.

I often wonder if some on here ever even watch the games or they just come on here for company. For those people may I suggest www.tinder.com

He can play well at nine but can serve a better role elsewhere.

[Guest]

No to Aubusson at centre.

[Thirteen]

Aubo has been at centre because we have had no better option. And he has done a great job.

Rubbish idea? The way Jake was playing , yesterday excepted , I thought we were getting desperate.

And, I'm on here for the company usually.
Tinder won't help coz I'm not on facebook, and most people who meet me these days think I'm an asshole.................or that's what I think they think???
