2nd Row

Schuster likely on the left edge & Jetski had a better game on the right..

We are very exposed with the depth we have.. Maybe one of the middle forwards on the edge, from the trial Ben T doesn’t look an option there.
 
We've lost three backrowers in the space of a week, with one of them out for the whole year. Schuster was a workhorse in defence and his attack was alright, just made some runs, some of them damaging some of them slow. He can grow and play in that starting spot and then we need to promote Saddler pronto, need him on the bench.

I agree. I'm sure when he was brought on so early in the game, and as a second rower, he was told "just tackle; no mistakes".
That's not his go; he is an attacking player, so given the conditions and the circumstances I think he did OK. He was not intimidated and next week should be given a crack in his preferred position of five-eighth.
 
Dessie just said Davey suspect ACL so that’s his year done. Schuster did well at second row and with 3 second rowers out good chance he will stay there. Also said Parker may be moved to 2nd row and Walker back at centre. Will ease Turbo rather than rush him back in.
I’d be happy to see Walker and centre and Harper play FB till Turbo is back, and with Schuster at 2nd row it gives us another attacking option.

I reckon that's the way to go. Parker moves in one, Walker to centre, Harper to fullback and Schuster probably stays on the bench.
So unfortunate for Davey, he looked our best forward in his 2 brief stints.
Hopefully one year all this bad luck comes back in a good way!!!
 
Burbo is far from first grade. He got bullied in our trial, might have to put more size i reckon. As for Parker at second row, I don't mind it. It kinda works because he's a really good and tough hole runner. He also improved from last game, and actually muscled up in defence, although he is still too slow to be defending out wide so moving him one in will take him out from having to defend quick outside backs.
