Fluffy, Attack is not NSW's problem, we scored plenty of points last night and often do. Defense is our problem, hence naming anyone out of position is pretty much putting a target on them.

It's simple, name halves in the halves, wingers on the wing, centres in teh centres and a fullback at fullback

Wow, you thought our attack was good last night ? That scoreline flattered us. 3 tries from 50/50 kicks is hardly tearing them to shreds. I don't know what our line break count was last night, but it can't have been too high. We looked lost in attack, maybe we do need Mat Rogers at 5/8 😉

I didnt think we were good in attack last night, just that we were mostly woeful in defense. If we can aimlessly plod around the field like that and still score that much points, I have faith that we can tweak the team for better defense and attack and improve.

hence naming wingers on the wing to shore up defense.

Pearce was my man pre his injury, all depends on how he comes back, Kimmorley is the best choice at present

As I said elsewhere, if we don't want to play people out of position, then Carney isn't a 5/8, hasn't played NRL level there for 2 years. Lyon went fine last night, but if we want to move him to the centres then Bird is the obvious man. But for some reason I also have Sutton in mind. He is a bit of a rocks or diamonds man, but on his day he is near unstoppable with his footwork and offloads, is a big unit as well. Could suit Origin

Hayne has to be fullback for me

If the defense is right the points will come with any team with the likes of Lyon, Hayne, Laffranci and Watmough.

I don't see the need for wholesale changes, just one. get rid of Kidley all to gether, get Lyon in the Centres, Tahu on the wing and Bird in at 5/8th (Bird has proven to be a decent SOO performer). Ennis dummy half with Carney the utility bench spot.
Kidley stifles the attack, it was said in many threads before last nights game, if we can all see it why can't the selectors and bellamy?!

The forward pack, as i said, take creagh out and bring in Laffranci.

I don't see the need for wholesale changes, just one. Get rid of Kidley all together, get Lyon in the Centres, Tahu on the wing and Bird in at 5/8th (Bird has proven to be a decent SOO performer). Ennis dummy half with Carney the utility bench spot.

Agreed.

Because he is a media darling Nate
