We finally have a good problem!

Posted by eelof99 on April 17, 2017 at 9:04pm

I am really confused as to how we can sort out our best 1-7

With Guth, Auvaa and Taka playing out of their skin today, Lelesiaou being absolutely dominant in u20s, French to return, Moses to join the team, Norman Jennings and Semi being must starters What happens to our Starting Backline??

From what i can best answers to this is:

1. French/Guth

2. Semi

3. Jennings

4. Auvaa

5. Guth/French

6. Norman

7. Moses

14. Taka

But is it really a good idea to sacrifice the immense talent of Gutherson or French by forcing them onto the wing??? thats the issue here

Gutherson would be a good centre I reckon. Leave French at Fullback bring in that NYC Greg dude for the wing in place of Hoffman. Get rid of Semi and put Auvaa onto the wing in place of Semi. Taka comes off the bench like you've said and Moses and Norman as the halves.

  Yes we did , the energy was much better . Yes some weak defence but the ball
  Was thrown around ( even by Jennings) and the boys seemed to back themselves more. I think it's cos I yelled at them heaps. Like a fishwife .

Gutherson at centre and Auva'a on the wing I reckon.

Or put French at 14. 20-30 mins into the game shift gutherson from Fb to centres and move taka into the back row rotation. People forget how new to FG French is. Give him 20 mins to get a read of the game then throw him in fresh.

Next week side will be the same except Edwards replacing Scott

How about radical??? Read where sticks did some dummy half work today and did fair job of it. Brown was used to give Kaysa a break but is wasted at DH. Sticks has covered every spot in the backline except the few at 5, is the answer to the 9 position sitting in front of the nose of the selectors?

1 Hoffman.'

2 Semi

3 Jennings.

4 Au'vaa

5 Lelesairo

6 Gutho

9 Kaysa

14 Taka.

Kaysa to start and play for 20-25 Taka off the bench to 6 and Gutho to 9 until Kaysa returns.

When French is back, then sort out who drops out to allow him back to Fullback

Gutho needs to play fb

Au'vaa had a great game. But he's had one great game and one shithouse one. I still think he's a long way off just yet.
