Jedi playing Doueihi at 13 sounds good in theory only problem is he still can’t tackle
After watching the Titans game today I’m wondering if our coaching staff will be willing to hook a starting half if they are underperforming.
Not likely. That would be admitting they got it wrong. When has Sheens ever done that?After watching the Titans game today I’m wondering if our coaching staff will be willing to hook a starting half if they are underperforming.
Seyfarth & Tumeth out, we look stronger

Sadly I know that is correct, just wish it wasn’t. There is the opportunity there this week with Wakeham in the squad (but yes I agree that it’s unlikely).
A few interesting questions for todays game:
How does Staines go at full back? If he probes around the ruck, pushing up for an offload he’ll be in a position to jump ahead of Laurie.
Bateman? What will he bring. I’m hoping he is the leader we need to gets everything focused.
Has Nofoaluma found a compass and learnt how to run straight and hard?
Does Wakeham get a decent shot to show what he can do? I’m hoping he gets a run in the halves, he’s been in good form and we need to try something different.
Can they resist the temptation to try and get Twal a try and actually put on a threatening play in the bulldogs 20?
@the-last-ronin I would rather see Brooks play well " than give wakeham a shot" just for the sake of it.
if Brooks plays poorly sure definitely throw wakeham in the halves but I am I guess one of the few that wants Brooks to succeeding halves...
AD in the halves should be who Sheens should be looking at
either way we should be too strong today

I didn’t mention Brooks.
I did mention earlier in the week that the Brooks/Doueihi combination should be scrapped.
of course I’d like Brooks to succeed as it means we are a winning football team but his best chance of success at the moment is probably with this set up:
7.Wakeham
6.Brooks
4. Doueihi
but we won’t see that today as Brooks will most likely play some 9
Really don’t see that happening.@the-last-ronin I think they will push Douihie to 13

I guess we’ll see but I think it’ll be Brooks to 9 like last season

Api is not going to play 80, will need a break. IMO 80% chance they push Brooks to 9, 20% chance its Wakeham to 9 for that break.
Until the club sign two new halves this team is not going anywhere … Brooks today is showing complete disinterest and Doueihi is pretty much a reserve grader .
