Talking about idiots Merkin.
Your remind me of an ant floating down the river with a "hard on" yelling open the bridge!
I would play Dylan Walker at 6. Yes his role is better in the middle but can still distribute and organise, freeing up Hawkins.
There is not much freeing up to do LB. Hawkins is not a runner and neither is Walker. You have to find players to be running off them. Take Iongi out and you negate Parra. You don't have Lomax so you have JAC on a wing with no one to set him up.
Better having Hawkins at half and one of the electric kids showng promise.....is that Twidle EA? Walker stays on the bench, is Simmo likely to be back for this game?
We are in deep shit with Moses, Brown and Lomax out.....Titans need a win badly, do you reckon they can sniff one against whoever we throw at them.
Hawkins can be freed up to have more space and time to do what he needs to do.
I cannot answer for EA, but if there is a kid to play 6 now the closest bet would be Papali'i or Volkman. In future Twidle or Talataina could be the future.
If Lomax is out post Origin, Tino and Fotuaika are too. They had both out tonight and won but this could be there due win and Manly are in a world of hurt at the moment too. Not saying they cannot beat us, they definately can but travelling to Sydney without Tino and Fotuaika again can be hard. They got that win, do they carry on further?
Take your point that Lomax plays.
The freeing up of Hawkins is like the Cleary Moses scenarion, they Walker & Hawkins are not complimentary, having Walker on the bench hides him as a weapon to be released.
I think I have seen enough of Volkman to say he is maybe not complimentary to Hawkins, although they may have developed a combination in Cup that could be an advantage. In regard to pecking order for the younger potential 5/8's I have not seen enough of the 3 talked about to make a conclusion. Somewhere in the coaching staff minds they may have a favourite that they will give a chance to do something at this level.
I don't believe in pecking orders of seniority, such structure smack's of beaucracy,........ between Twidle, Talataina and Joash, the one with the potential in their minds should be chosen.
Rhetorically we talk about age and physique but using Galvin as an example, he established himself as a 19 year old, I would ask EA his opinion how those 3 are at compared to Galvin as honestly I do 't know them well enough to make an opinion. Forget about their respective ages, do we have a Galvin amongst those 3?
If they are regarded as equal then we haven't got that special player identified yet from our juniors going forward.
IF they are equal I would go for Joash, he won't be overawed by the occasion. Those that think Dyllan makes no difference, look out, the defensive clean up he offers is not replaceable.
I tell you what boyz I'd be using our fowards more and going away from the ball movement until we get a semblance of our spine back.
Through the middle is where it's at for us not sticking with the tried and true error ridden system with less talent.
I'd have Iongi sniffing round the middle off of any quick play the balls and I'm giving JaC an open license to go look for the ball.
But I'm basing my game plan around short passing and offloads in the middle of the park.Only time I'm going to Hawkins and Volkman is inside the 20s as they pose no threat to defensive lines running the footy.
If I were JR I'd go with a bigger bench and start Walker at 6.Out of the halves available he's the only run/pass threat.
Tbh moses has done fark all since returning from injury except the tigers game. He's been a passenger every other game. You watch mitch will be sweet for origin 3 mark my words.
Yep you can guarantee it.
He's done fark all period, besides a good game here or there he's not a consistent footballer. Imagine gutho 5/8 and sanders better then this crap!
If he sits out 6 weeks plus the 7 or 8 he missed already. It's nearly half the season. And we signed him for 5 more years.
