Confirmed, Tamou has accepted early guilty plea and will miss round 1.
Did Musgrove do enough to grab his spot do you think?
I think he is the best option.
Maybe ...if we can create a spot for Rua in the Top 30 does he grab the 17th spot and out Cheese the Cheese
If Peachey is in the 13 ...Twal starts at prop with Stefano ...Mikaele off the bench with Seyfarth ..Tuki in the 16 ....
I wouldn't have Tuki on the bench at present.
If we could I'd like a back row back up ....ah forgot about Kelma ....Kelma in the 16 ....Rua as a back up hooker/lock
Who do you have starting in the second row?
Tuki was very poor on the edge in the 1st trial.
I think Garner and Lucy .....Kelma coming on for impact .....I have this feeling that Melbourne might be vulnerable to a pack that has speed / mobility on the edges now with a few personnel members missing
I'd have Kelma starting over Garner and I don't know if Garner makes my bench after missing the trials.
Garner starts or you don't pick him in my opinion ...he offers nothing impact wise
Yep agree, I also think Kelma has earnt that spot and Garner needs to prove his value in reserves.

Agree with that. He’s not going to put you on the front foot off the bench.

I doubt he puts you on the front foot starting either.

I added to my original comment ...I think from what I saw in the trials we could test Melbourne with the right mix in the backrow for the last 20 .....the best footy we played in the last 2 years was with a hooker at lock for the last portions of games ....
Rua is also perfect for that role. In the current game, a similar strategy to the Farah/ Halatua 1 2 combo from 2005 works quite well.
I reckon Rua looks a better defender than Deno

I doubt he puts you on the front foot starting either.
I'd rather impact when defences are tiring and for us to hold our own early in games ...too often we get blown off the park early ...last 2 trials we got scored on within the 1st 3 1/2 minutes

Our second rowers and centres got much better ball in the second trial as well.

Our attack isn't going to be our issue against Melbourne ...keeping Melbourne to less than 14 is ...we have never really had an issue scoring points v Melbourne
And the Cheezel has been cleared to play against us Rd 1 ...what crap
