Good side BE but not sure they would flick hiku after one poor game. Of the new guys I liked the look of Lui was very willing.
I don't think Hodges is the answer. We haven't played that tactic since Stranger left us and we've done OK in that period. Not saying he won't offer something but I think at this point our bench is better utilised with forwards who get game time. Also I wouldn't be pinning too many hopes to Lauaki just yet. Let's see what he has to offer in NSW cup for a few games first. If Snake is out then I imagine it'll be pretty much the same team as last night with Gutherson coming onto the wing and Hiku going to fullback. presuming Wolf is still out. If we are going to pick JSL and only give him 5-10 minutes at the death then it is a waste. Better off with Sao or Turbo to provide a bit more grunt up the middle. Run with 3 props and Buhrer
Hiku is our only real option at full back and Gutherson is not ready for first grade as the souths would kill him Agree with Hodges on the bench as the more I see of Bhurer the more I think he is too small and struggles to defend against the big packs. We really missed big red on the bench tonight as he would have covered centre or wing better than Horo. He also has more impact than Sene-Lefao
