Changes

[CRPSI eagle]

Schuster needs to go to 5/6, Foran does not play and keppie plays 2nd row.

Garrick needs to be dropped and Parker to wing and Suli to centre.

Sipley needs to be back in the side and pack Siro bags today.

Our wingers are softest in the comp, Rubbish!

 

[JakeyB789]

You’re suggesting way too many changes there. Only change should be Croker coming back into the side with Lawton shifting to the bench for Siro.

We were very poor tonight, but beaten by a far better side who unfortunately will likely go onto win the comp. May as well get some finals experience into the players we have now and build for next year

 

[Mals]

Schuster might spend time on the sideline for the tip tackle. If Suli is coming into the team he takes Harper’s spot. Can’t blame our wingers for that terrible performance tonight.

What? That's the same team selected initially for tonight's match. Madness. Don't tell me Froggy would have made much difference.
We've got to give Suli a chance. Harpo needs to be dropped. The Shoe needs less game time so put him on the bench.

 

[sheridanstand78]

I would not change much.

Losing Croker on the eve of the match really unsettled the balance of our side.

What needs to change is the attitude and we were caught cold and folded way too easy tonight.

Learning curve for this team in a big way.

 

[mave]

Just lol.

Yeah, the side that got us here should all be dropped.

This forum does not take a loss well.

Understand what you're saying mate, but instilling accountability in a sudden death game (possibly last of the season) could be suicide to morale. Des is a stickler for showing faith and backing his boys.

The team will cop a LOT of flack this week. Possibly a good thing, because this week was always too positive for them (and it worried me).

Gotta have faith at this point in the season. If we were say 5-6 into a season, I'd be calling for change. But these guys may play themselves out of starting spots for next season.

I have given Garrick more sh*t than anyone on ST but you could not possibly drop him off this game - he has been great, not good but great, since round 4...

I agree Sips should be in for Sirro and whilst I am tempted to want Suli in for his attack, his defence, or more his effort in defence, is a concern...

We were bad tonight but this team has shown that it is better than that - the Storm just pulled our pants down...

zero changes, they all learn from it

Our wingers have been soft and ordinary all year and not just tonight.

Same again, will not beat Melb.
I would be happy to see Tafua over Garrick for remainder of the one game.

 

[MadMarcus]

What about the fullback who did nothing? We need to send out an SOS for Brendon Elliott

/sarcasm

 

[malroon]

Only thing that needs to change is their attitude, from all press reports they are sitting around the pool like its a holiday, head space is all wrong...

 

[frank stokes]

/sarcasm

Imagine the sh*t that Elliott would have copped after a game like that!! Lol

...obviously Tom is Tom and is allowed to have an off game... just saying...

 

[Mals]

Both have scored 20+ tries, I wouldn’t call that ordinary.

 

[Eagles4Life]

We won't make any major changes.
Des will show faith with the team that got us to 4th spot. It will be:
Croker to nine.
Lawton to fifteen (but perhaps Des could start Lawton in the backrow and bring Schuster in after 30 minutes)
Sironen to twenty

If Schuster is given a week off:
Croker to nine
Lawton to twelve
Sironen to twenty
Suli or Sipley to fifteen

Tom wasn't allowed to play his usual dominating game, they were teaming up in tackles on him, something that hasn't happened to him for weeks now. Bellyache really had his robots programmed on this. We'll dust ourselves off and concentrate on beating the Roosters next week.

 

[skull61]

I keep seeing where posters don’t want Suli in because of his defence but my take is that we are likely to win 34-30 not 12-10 so I think we should put our strongest attacking team in like Suli and Walker in centres
