At last a little adventure. Miski in for Garrett, Schuster at 18. Will Des keep Schuster back one or two games like he's done with others who appear for the first time or will Schuster maybe get a spot off the bench. I'm beginning to get excited for the first time since the opening rounds. Now. Where's Burbo 😛

 

[KaZa]

Schuster will play. But where? im assuming he will make the bench as the 14. Could play centre 5/8 or at lock.

 

[davohan123]

I say too little too late.

Should of tried these players weeks ago.

Also turbo come back in 2 weeks time waste of time now season is gone.

Whilst I am happy Des is slowly seeing the light by mixing a few things up, wish it happened a few weeks ago.

 

[davohan123]

Also who goal kicks this week?

DCE??

 

[Chip and Chase]

How doesn't Guaca get a gig in front of Jetski ?? Maybe he doesn't want two rookies on that side in D

 

[Will on the hill]

Schuster to 5/8, Hoppa to FB, Funa to centre and Molé to backrow, not gonna happen but I'd love to get a glimpse of what they can do together. Would probably concede more points than they'll score but could give us some confidence going into the future.

 

[Bearfax]

Also who goal kicks this week?

DCE??

He's quite accurate in fact. In '18, '19 he had around 80% success rate. I think he'd prefer not to, but he manages it OK

I’m not defending Gosiewski nor am I suggesting that will be the final 17,but to be fair to him,he probably deserves a chance to at least play his preferred position given he’s mainly played in the centres due to the injuries.Having said that,I’d have Olakau’atu in the team anyway

I’m so sick of Des’ stupid selections. Haumole was best on ground for us a few weeks back against the warriors when he actually got a start. Then the week after he was dropped to the bench and only given 20 minutes and then the week after dropped from the 17 completely. It’s beyond me how jetski and waddell can keep getting picked in front of this bloke who is clearly a gun.

Guaca for Jetski and Schuster for Waddell. I ask again ... did Toff Sipley get caught taking money from the til? ... Des must want him to move on.

 

[47MVEagle]

I can see either Parker swapping with Hoppa or Jorge swapping with Miski before kick off as having Hoppa & Miski both on one side could be risky.

Is Thommo injured?

 

[The Who]

So, from the 21 in the squad this is what I consider to be the best/most interesting combination:
Tyfuna
Hoppa Jnr
Harper
The Shoe
Miski
Con
DCE
Aladdin
Levi
Kapow
Guaca
Sir Loin
Jake
Res:
Keppie
Tent
Duck
Froggy

Sick and tried of watching jetski and waddell and their pathetic efforts Give the young players a go

 

[John Nicholson]

Team cannot work with two Morgans!

Also, I think Cust will start the kicks if his legs are OK.

 

[KaZa]

1. Hopoate
2. Miski
3. Funa
4. Parker
5. Tafua (can Harper play wing?)
6. Schuster
7. Cherry Evans
8. Fonua Blake
9. Cust
10. Trbojevic
11. Olakau'atu
12. Keppie
13. Sironen

14. Levi
15. Paseka
16. Tapau
17. Gosiewski

YES, Harper can play wing.
That would be an exciting team to watch.

Far out, its getting worse. Jetski in front of Guaca, and the 2 dwarfs on the wing. Its going to be a bombathon out wide again
