Bench

The last two games we have played amazing footy for this time of the year semi final intensity yet still havent fully gelled in attack. But a little concern is at the end of both games we have leaked points. I believe we need an extra forward on the bench instead of a hooker. Our packwork so hard n are tired towards the end of the game. That will hurt us when it gets cooler n teams are controlling the footy better. Sorry to pritchard but with 8 interchanges i reckon 4 forwards so go with Gower. Use edwards as a utillity forwards. He be able to play hookerhe showed us he could play 5/8. Shouldnt change a winning side but I believe we have good options. Nelson another utility n takka if desperate. Any thoughts?

  • You might have a good point mate, its interesting to see how the coaches are going to make best of the new rules, utilities that can play hooker will become a very valuable commodity.

  • Well we can use another forward but to be honest Kaysa offers quite a bit form the bench. Could risk losing that intensity from the dummy half last in the game.

  • We didn't have that many dummy half runs in total in any game so far. However the amount of tackles our hooker makes may have something to do with it too.
  • Does anybody have the stats on the number of dummy half runs we have taken, and which player(s) were involved?
  • Who would play less minutes?
  • This is the best depth we've had for many years. Recruitment has been great that why we have good options for the bench
  • I reckon we are using Kaysa wrong, id like to see him come on at the 30th minute mark and then bring Peatsy back on in the 65th minute mark for his D at the end of the game.

  • Pritchard I believe is being tested by the coach to see how he stands up regarding endurance, after all he has been injury prone & is gradually getting more game time, very gradually.

    The current rotation is working well really as even Mannah had less time on the field last week, this set up just tells me the coach is doing a different rotation each week in order that as the season progresses & any injury's happen we are reasonably well placed to cover them, likewise a balance in game time eguates to getting the players fit for the whole season. 

    Many teams & we have to be included in this start off well then fade more due to tiredness as the year progresses, BA rotations this year have been a bit different & as he's the coach would rather go with his call in this.

    • Good point
  • Do you actually watch a game mate pritchard 13 from. 13 9/10 17/18 i will back the coaching staff over you any day ,kaysa desperation tackle of the game against dogs ,wake up
