It is part of the solution. We won't solve them all at once, but Saab looked like a deer in the headlights and totally unready to do anything beyond run with a football in open space
Ryan fair side however move DCE to hooker, I think it could work much like Ben HuntOkay, we are missing forwards and hookers, but I could list a quality unit:
01. Morgan Harper
02. Jason Saab
03. Dylan Walker
04. Moses Suli
05. Reuben Garrick
06. Keiran Foran
07. Daly Cherry-Evans
08. Taniela Paseka
09. Cade Cust
10. Marty Taupau
11. Josh Aloiai
12. Josh Schuster
13. Jake Trbojevic
14. Whoever
15. Sean Keppie
16. Toafofoa Sipley
17. Jack Gosiewski
Next week:
- Tom comes in for Harper, who moves to centre for Suli;
- Haumole comes in for Schuster, who moves to 6, Foran to 7, DCE to 14
I don’t want him dropped but perhaps Des is also a bit worried about his confidence out there and what a game vs the Panthers might do to him. In saying that being dropped is hardly confidence instilling. God knows what Hasler is thinking. If it were me I’d stick with him. At least he offers a kicking target. Also if he’s replaced please let it be Tuipolotu rather than Funa. Funa is not a winger. In saying that I have no qualms about Funa going into Centre for Parker.If our captain could actually organise an attacking set which ends with a bomb to Saab's wing on the 5th tackle instead of putting it out on the full then maybe Saab could actually show what he could be capable of.....
Saab hasn't been great don't get me wrong, needs to run harder on the kick returns/coming out of trouble. But he's hardly the problem with the team.
Then again Saab could be getting dropped for other reasons in the background, who knows.
must have been a Menu log deliveryand it was hardly a special delivery from Saab either
Jetski was picked in front of Davey and Ola first week. He was our first choice left side edge forward.He’s Dessies first choice.That’s how ridiculous the situation is.Gosiewski is only there because Siro,Davey,Olakatau are all injured and they have no- one else.
Schuster is doing what's asked of him in the second row position.
This will be endearing him to Des ,I hope.
Unfortunately you are correct .I am more saying even if he was to be dropped now ,because of being dog$hit average, He can't be.There is no one else.Jetski was picked in front of Davey and Ola first week.

How do you get dropped in this side.How many convictions has he had.
Yep. Sad but true I suppose.Unfortunately you are correct .I am more saying even if he was to be dropped now ,because of being dog$hit average, He can't be.There is no one else.
So Des has his hands tied.
whilst talking about passing have you guys noticed that Schuster passes without looking at the player he's passing to. Wondering if that makes a candidate for intercepts? Not a critism just an observation

And not to be argumentative ,but Gosiewski has looked decent starting 2nd row in the past when Siro has been out injured.He has looked good running aggressive lines off DCE .Yep. Sad but true I suppose.
Oh ,looking forward to some of Tom's forward cut out passes and interceptors between injury breaks.Yes, a couple of us mentioned that somewhere else - but so far they seem to be working. Maybe he sneaks a lil look before-hand, I dunno but I think tom's long flat passes have been snagged more than Shu's no lookers....so I'm happy with them (does get the heart rate going though).
we are caught in a never ending loop then, because we are not going to win if we don’t blood them
Ryan fair side however move DCE to hooker, I think it could work much like Ben Hunt
I'd be willing to put Schuster in as a ball playing lock and move Jake a bit
That was doing my head in..whilst talking about passing have you guys noticed that Schuster passes without looking at the player he's passing to. Wondering if that makes a candidate for intercepts? Not a critism just an observation
