There's not much depth I agree, but there are some changes which should be made due to performance of some specific players. Penisini, Joe and Hands get a rest for me. In saying that, if Matto isn't available, than Joe gets one more week. We can still cover Penisini to be dropped at the very minimum, he poor defensive reads are just ridiculous, IMO. I agree 100% that it will be painful and could be for most of the year :(
So you're willing to give some players a reprieve, even after 2 substandard performances, yet after one from Penisini you want him dropped. Remember, Penisini was by far our best back the week before against Melbourne, short memories.
well that's one opinion Michael W. I beg to differ on week one's performance too plus most of last year. He's bloody awful and I stand by that and not to mention again how slow he is out there.
You pick JAC and Matterson for experience.
Time to move lomax to fullback
Why? Does nothing for us at all.
Longi to green ATM lomax needs to roam
He's played over 60 games In NSW cup, only 3 in NRL of course he is raw.
Only way he develops more is playing NRL. Going back to cup ain't gonna do much now for him now.
not talking about him going back to cup
Where do you put him Trent? Maybe Wing in that case?
That i could sort of understand, however i feel he needs time at Fullback as he needs to be transitioned somehow.
