Backline v Titans

1. Iongi 

2. Lomax 

3. Penisni 

4. Bailey 

5 .Ado 

6. Volkman

7. Hawkins

Other options include Joash at 6, D Walker or a crazy move would be Lomax into 6 and Sean Russell in backline. From what I've seen Volkman and Hawkins combination in cup has worked well so Ryles will prob go that way.

  • I don't think they do Lomax at 6, his carries out the back are too important with Moses out.

    It will be either Joash, Walker or Volkman.

    • I do like that both volkmam and Hawkins have kicking games and that would be the way I go. Walker off bench and maybe Joash in the 17 to if need be 

  • 1: I Longi

    2: Z Lomax

    3: W Penisini

    4: B Simonson 

    5: J Addo Carr

    6: J Papali 

    7: D Hawkins

    id Go Papali and just see how he goes at 5/8th for one game, Volkman has been good in attack in cup, but he gets flat footed in defence a lot. But if Volkman did start at 5/8th too I wouldn't have any issue with it either, could always start Volkman at 6 and carry Papali on the bench too, be interesting to see who plays in cup today actually 

    • Agree with this, hopefully they pull Volkman out of cup. I don't think we can take any more injuries 

  • Give Joash a go at 6  we have to start planning for next year use the rest of the season to try different combos and get a head start 

    • I didn't really see much of Joash at 6 in nsw cup but didn't look great. He's probably more a fullback but if he gets some reps in at cup level he can work to being a 6 

  • Volkman pulled from cup, Ryles will have to spend next week + working on a plan 

    • There was only two top thirty in the cup today Hands and Lussick 

  • I would like to see Hawkins at 7 and Walker at 6. 

     

    • I'd have Walker at lock

"Both are extended til 2027. Fletcher seems to be really impressing in pre-season, similar to what Smith did last year. Not saying he gets near FG but he could play Cup earlier than expected maybe."
