Next Weeks team

[Guest]

Really farked if i know


MOrts, Moga, Bosden, a fit SKD and Tuivasa need to come in

MItchell, BJ, Arona, Carney( he has played well but we need more spark in attack) + one of the other backrowers

Tuivasa may only be good for 30 mins but fark me it will be an entertaining 30 mins, he breaks the line, offloads, solid defender and would tear sides apart at the back of each half.

Pearce needs to be moved to his rightful position at Hooker, Friend to lock as an 80 min player< having a 80 min hooker and lock gives us the luxury of a Tuivasa who can break a game open.

AS for the Halves, well Morts and Anasta would do no worse then Pearce and Anasta, who are not on the same planet in the 6 and 7.

I can only dream

If we must have death, poison and hate in the side then he needs to go to lock or second row. Morts and Pearce in the halfs, Anthony Mitchell to start and Tagive on the wing instead of BJ.

What did he do wrong?
He will be in the side next week 1 million percent. The side will be the same unless someone is injured from today.

When Carney took that ball early in the 2nd from well inside our half to the Penrith defense at full pace, i thought it might encourage others to do like wise. It didn't however we got a penalty and then Guerra dropped the ball in the 2nd I believe. The whole team played crap, even reliable Friend. If anything, it's up to the coach, the captain and the other senior players to stop the downward spiral. Mini tried but he couldn't...

[Spanner in the works]

I wouldn't change too much:
1. Mini
2. Tagive
3. Leilua
4. Moga (depending on fitness)
5. Perrett
6. Anasta
7. Pearce
8. MK
9. Friend
10. Masoe
11. JWH
12. Aubusson
13. Cordner

14. Tasi
15. FPN
16. Guerra
17. Mitchell/Mortimer

Need those big boppers on the field early to take the sting out of the Canberra pack... I'd drop Carney if Moga is fit. He's been good, but he isn't a long term back in my mind.

Jack Africa and Funky Flashman, I hate to tell you this but Captain Braith "Death, poison, hate, rage, frustration, violence, death, Joseph Kony's recruiting officer, 4 more years of the Federal G.A.L.P., any government headed by Tony Abbott, any economy run by Wayne Swan or Joe Hockey, horror, Giallo without nudity, life without Miranda Kerr or Megan Gale, life with Kate Waterhouse, being stuck inside in Mobile with the Memphis Blues again, getting into a betting syndicate with Robbie Waterhouse when he's been to Bunning's paint section, being in the room when Jamie Packer realises that he wanted to build his casino resort in Belangalo State forest and has to deal with one of Ivan Milat's brothers as tour guide, losing control, losing, finding out I'm not as cool as my mother says I am, being found out, having people find out my favourite movie is Xanadu, having people find out I've never seen the Godfather all the way through, having people find out that I didn't enjoy Star Wars quite as much as I let on, running out of things to write instead of our captain's name, getting another wooden spoon, being stuck with our Captain for another 4 years, hearing Sonny Bill Williams has signed with us, finding out Brian Smith has signed for another 4 years, James Maloney having a career ending injury " Anasta will be in the side, barring unforeseen circumstances of an accidental nature.

This is what i'd like to see, but it won't happen. Anasta ain't gettin dropped no matter how bad he performs, Kennedy was our best forward alongside JWH and the only forward to make 100+m which is why i've got him starting. Imo Tasi and Masoe have both been pretty poor so far so they are on the bench. Another two i've been really disappointed with is Guerra and Cordner. Guerra has just been pissweak imo, has contributed nothing. Cordner is pretty much the same, apart from that kick for Mini he has done nothing in both games as well. I liked what i saw from Bosden in the trials so he gets a starting spot, and i don't really care if both Moga and SKD are out Maubs has to be in the backrow, he's our best backrower and that's where he plays his best football. And i'm at the point where i'd be trying just about anything for a spark off the bench and imo Mortimer and a couple of smokies in Khierellah and Dumbrell can provide this. Ant Mitchell was complete rubbish today so he can piss off to Newtown.

As i said this is what i would want to see but it just ain't gunna happen unfortunately.

I agree with Pelican's team exactly except persist with Cordner in run-on with BJ or Bosden or Guerra or Symonds on bench.

I just don't think Cordner is ready for the intensity of the opening stages of matches yet. You've got to remember he is still only 18/19? and i think he would benefit coming on fresh around the 25-30 min mark when fatigue is starting to take effect and causing some havoc down the edges.

We need some speed in the outside backs, other teams are able to able to play very compact defence systems as there are no threats outwide to outpace their defences.

I'm not sure Friend is capable of 80 minutes at the moment. There is no doubt he busts a gut, but do we have a player that can come on for say 15 or 20 minutes as hooker, but then slot into the backrow rotation? Maybe like the old days of Crocker starting. I don't see much value in Mortimer and Mitchell at the minute.

Whilst long term I don't think Maubs is the answer at centre, it has merit for bringing Moga into the top grade.

I would probably have Taka over Symonds on the bench.
