@tiger5150 geez we will miss tamou
Joffa will end up in front row so Hastings or Douhie to play some 13 I think
To further complicate Brooks to play some 9 you would think to give brown a rest
Guys Twitter rumour floating around Douhie to start at 6 and Brooks to start at 9 with Brown back to bench and he may play a bit of 13
Big ask on Douhie back from injury and Brooks to play big minutes at 9 if true geez he will have some traffic run at him

Joffa is our best forward but completely wasted and not as effective as a pure battering ram middle.
If its true that Doueihi is playing 6 and Brooks to 9, with the pack we have, we will get lapped and it should the red pen should go through Kimmorley's name as a candidate.
@davey-farrell Dias is 24 tho. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just play Matamua
Because common sense and this club don't go hand in hand Declan

More to the point ...think back a few coaches and who do these selections remind us of .....NOW does everyone remember why we wanted to string Sheenius up by the goolies about 10 years ago
Judging from the training video - AD was running at 6
Question will be for how much of the game.
With the forwards down - I'd think we need as fresh hookers as possible. Rotating Brooks then Brown - with Brown running at 13 as needed as well.

Interesting, this is what I suggested yesterday. Flattering to think Noddy or Sheens are getting their advice from a numpty on a forum. The logic is sound though.
It's pointless bringing AD on with 20 minutes to go. It's pointless having a fatigued Brooks going to hooker with 20 minutes to go. t's pointless trying to assess AD/Hastings when Hastings is fatigued. None of the suggested positions is a surprise, only the timing is changing. They need the chance to show their wares when fresh. Bring Brown on when we need a spark but I definitely don't see him as a 13. Alternatively, start Brown and have Brooks on the bench.
I'm far more concerned with the forwards than the spine. We look very soft and if they don't perform the spine won't see quality ball.

Agree, give us two more quality forwards in that side and I’m a lot more confident.

Its nuts ......the Warriors biggest weakness is their middle with all the injuries and Lodge gone
Well how about a golden point game for us…. Haven’t had that adversity for awhile. It’s round 16 guys so 16-16 at full time and we get done with a try to the warriors no 16 at the 3 minutes 16 seconds mark 🫤
