Team vs Eels

[FlamingRooster]

Important game for top 4 finish. After watching tonight’s game there are a couple things.
1. Smith and Iku injuries
2. 28-8 vs 36-8. What’s the difference? goalkicking.

for me the team looks like this
1 teddy
tupou
keighran (i know he’s a mixed bag for some but there is no one else and his goal kicking could be the difference)
jmoz
manu
hutch
walker
jwh
verrils
liu
crichton
tupuniua
rads

the alternative if u want manu at 4 is to drop keighran or jmoz and play Brad abbey on the wing

Why is nobody including SST next week. Surely if he was close to playing tonight he will be ready in another seven days.

[dice]

I expect Crichton to play centre as he did tonight, and as he has in the past.

Might be doing his lockdown march

[FlamingRooster]

for those saying crichton to the centre,ur dreaming. this will be the team that we play most likely for the rest of the season based on the severity of the injuries we saw tonight. were not going to take crichton out of secon row.

[The Lip]

Why are you guys happy to move Manu to wing - if anything we want Joey in closer not on the wing. If we want Keighran in the side and at centre it makes far more sense to me to put J Moz on the wing and call him Brett - maybe it will do wonders for his form.

[roosterproud]

I would put jorris on the wing and sitillu inside him. Bring Keigrhan to the 17 and dsfafita as 18th

To be fair, the wind was atrocious (no stadium + really heavy), most of our conversions were from the sideline and Teddy was striking it quite well!

[ism22]

The Drizz can lend up Hynes as a centre & goal kicker coz they don't need him

Some who are suggesting Sitili and/or Angus play centre next week are so clueless.

We had no choice last night but against real opposition those blokes will be absolutely schooled.

[Vasco]

Manu and JMoz will be in the centres next week. Abbey or Moala Graham-Taufua will be on the wing. Big wraps on that kid, may as well throw another youngster in.

Whoever is playing right wing will have sleepless nights leading up to the game knowing they will mark Sivo. Who was the young kid that made his debut against the Storm last year? Poor guy had a rough initiation and hasn't been sighted since (Manly?).

This is why I would have JMoz defending on the right wing against Parra. He will want to put in a great performance on his return to prove he still has it.

Probably means playing Keighran at left centre next game. Would do this for the parra game only, Then put Jmoz back to left centre the following week, unless Keighran has a decent game.
