Wouldn't mind a radical change this week, not out of total panicking but purely because we might as well test some different variations while trbo, afb, walks, fainu are all out. Not the end of the world if he picks a similar 17 as their attack would've been OK had it not been wet I reckon (it started strong) and defence is a week to week prospect, negatively impacted by rain as well and low confidence. Various ideas shared are this, not saying I'd want them all but think it's good to introduce a variety of different ideas to work off. Note: This isn't my chosen squad, just ideas
1. Brendon Elliott
2. Tevita Funa
3. Brad Parker
4. Moses Suli
5. Reuben Garrick (just)
6. Josh Schuster /Lachlan Croker (need a halfback+5/8 halves pairing)
7. Cade Cust (halfback, directing)
8. Jake Trbojevic (50 minute game time, no ball-playing)
9. Daly Cherry-Evans (Ben Hunt)
10. Sean Keppie
11. Joel Thompson
12. Curtis Sironen
13. Martin Taupau
INTERCHANGE
14. Lachlan Croker
15. Morgan Boyle (commendable effort today)
16. Jack Gosiewski
17. Tony Williams
(For Trex's experience, come on for a 15-20 minute return stint at lock for marty)
Obviously backline is in ruin atm, but I think it just needs a genuine halves combo to spark them and bring them into the game. Dce needs to have a simplified role where he has a bit of room to move outside of structure, because he really struggles with being forced to be a halfback (he's a 5/8). Needs a few weeks to reset completely, hooker would bring his confidence back again + better squad balance as we lack a good number 9.
Other positional options (number=position. eg. 1 = fullback)
1. Reuben Garrick / Brad Parker? / Young Hoppa
3. Brendon Elliot (If Parker fullback)
14. Schuster (if Croker started in halves)
16. Sipley/Waddell/Guac
