        • Sanders. Russel cannot goal-kick even in reggies. 

      • Whoever can get it off the tee at this point. If you fluke a shot at training you are the man.

      • If Russell gets picked (which I hope he doesn’t) then he will kick.

        As Sanders is a goal kicker I would go with him.

        BA will probably put Russell at fullback and bring Talagi back in to 5/8 just to try and prove he was right the first time.

        • Actually reckon Russell would be best tho he hasn't played fb for ages according to EA . He has some speed on his side 

          so frckn disgraceful that we have to guess who is our fb or hb (up to last week) replacement! Honestly key position and no out and out replacement ... it's disgusting 

          Hopefully this shows to the relevants what a bloody mess we are in!

          Whom ever  takes guthos spot will need tonnes of support poor bugger coz they aren't getting it in their development 

          • Last year we ended up using AMS as our fullback in reggies. This year in cup we have used Talagi, Cini, Martyn 

            • Ams injury has hurt us. I was looking forward to watching his development this year. 

          • Russell isn't overly fast and is a massive defensive liability. 

            I wouldn't be running him at fullback.

            Asi 6, Sanders 7 and Brown FB maybe?

      • Probably won't be an issue - we need to score a try or at least get a penalty in front of the sticks before we attempt a kick at goal.

        • 😆...😞

  • Yeah, good chance season over. Get bodies right now rather than at end of season into preseason. Get more experience into as many young hopefuls as possible. Look at Brisbane 2-3 seasons ago. Blooded heaps of youngsters who were off the pace for a year or 2. But look at them now. Still very young with 50+ games experience and holding their own while still plenty of improvement to come. See who keeps taking the tough runs and turning up in defence no matter what the scoreline is. Tell them they are playing for contracts, whether here or for another club. 

    Some chance also, the club doesn't want to sack BA, even if they don't want to extend him. They will allow the disruption to squad to be an excuse.

BA has told the media Mitch is unlikely for next week and Origin 1. Probably good that he doesn't rush back just to help NSW and get hurt again. Hopefully he's good to go for RD 14 v doggies.

"Great stuff HOE. This needs to be emailed to every board member. The stats are rather sobering. 
Bad luck is the 50/50 calls go against you the bulk of the time. Dropping balls, poor kick chase, or throwing the ball over the sideline, isn't bad…"
