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.

it's a thing 😎
The games getting faster but you still have to win the collision to gain opportunities ruck speed off loads quick ball and alike to use that to your advantage.
Ive said this so many times I'm sick of it but all off season I kept telling everyone watch the middle of the park this decides if we'll improve defensively or not.Did you see I think the tigers second try where Skelton scored and DB got held up on there 2nd reciever and all you saw was junior on the inside who just couldn't get there this happens to us alot and we wonder why our wingers jam all the time because for the most part there following there guy in.It's painful to watch but the middle problems are only fixed if we win the collision in defense and win the wrestle to slow the ruck speed down if not we are toast.
Basically the attacking structure is the same as last year they are playing left and right halves and there doing all this off set positions on the field it's predictable and easy to defend.
Now change is necessary you want DB and Volkman floating both sides of the ruck.Biggest thing for our middles is if your going one out get skinny get in between defenders if possible and ffs find your front.The only person consistently finding there front is Lomax.JR needs to send this message if we want more out of our halves ruck speed is a must.
If we roll out the same tired BS we'll continue to get hammered.
Defensively it's simple line speed first contact and ffs communication talk continue to talk it's so important in a defensive line.

lol dropping Williams
Not dropping him.
I'm expecting him to be suspended for the shoulder charge.
Even suspended, he is a better option at 18
I don't mind the backline.
So you've got a 1.4 million dollar centre and the worlds best winger playing 5/8 at least penis is dropped I like it.
I don't have the world's best winger at 5/8 and I didn't pick a 1.4 million dollar player at centre
Every one his hurting but stinks
Cmon mate
