Ideas for changes next week ?

Posted by Eli Stephens on March 16, 2025 at 6:15pm

Team looks very disjointed in attack and all over the place, ideas on changes for next week ?

Ado Carr will be back but I thought Samrani was great on debut so Russell should prob drop out. Hawkins definitely in for Volkman. Guys like Matto Kelma might need to come back in for experience as well.

Will be a rough season buckle up.

Samrani played well. Agreed Matto needs to come back. We are completely rudderless. If Hawkins can't fill in for Moses we need to find someone who can, and fast.

  Sounded like Hawkins was injuried in cup today.

    Both Volkman and Brown not really offering anything in attack. Hopefully Hawkins can play or they just will have to stick with Volkman brown.

      I'd put Twidle or Lynn in. Worth a shot really.

Is forfeiting an option? At least it wont mess with the for and against

I have no idea. Apart from Carr and Moses I can't see any light

  Ado Moses and Bailey definitely will help the team, but the edge forwards is an issue. Will be a long season but just need to keep chipping away week by week

    Samrani to edge with Williams. Middles for me is a problem.

Hawkins went off injured. I watched the whole reserves game. Sure we won, but no one stood out to get even close to a realistic suggestion they could make difference to how we are going. Sometimes making changes just for the sake of it makes things even worse. We are in a world of pain.
