Was thinking about this and actually think this will be harder to pick then the starting 13.... what is everyone's preferred bench for 2025?
Mine as follows:
14. Talau or Hopate (outside back cover)
15. Tavaga (covers hooker & middle)
16. Bullemore (covers middle & edge if needed)
17. Brown...
Multiple weeks in a row now.... cannot understand why we lack any sort of energy and or enthusiasm.... honestly seems like there is a number of players lacking real desire to win and I am very confused as to why????
Interested to get everyone's thoughts on this. If you were wearing your coach/recruitment hat and had 2 positions we could fill asap which would they be?
For me we are lacking serious/quality depth on the wings and centres outside Garrick, Saab and koula....
The...
Do your best for this weekends game now:
1. Weekes
2. Vaega
3. Walker
4. Harper
5. Garrick
6. Foz
7. Dce
8. Tapau
9. Crocker
10. Paseka
11. Keppie ?
12. Davey ?
13. Jake ?
14. Bullemore
15. Sykes
16. De Luis
17. Fifita
(?) Meaning under injury cloud
Not sure if Parker is any chance chance?
1. Turbo: out of form at present
2. Garrick: didn't do anything wrong
3. Parker: try's hard but loves to rush out of defensive line at times
4. Harper: offers nothing?
5. Saab: seems scared of tupuo
6. Foran: tried hard
7. Dce: only likes to kick on the 3rd when in opposition 20?
8. Tapau...
Would this be right for 2022 so far? Looks like at least 4 spots... and squad never looked so good imo!
If so would be interesting to see which development players we promote and if we bring in anyone else?
I would like to see 1 more specialist winger in the squad (& wouldn't mind if they could...
Ok don't want to jinx any of them with injury but barring this, what should be the plan to cover turbo, dce and Jake.
My thoughts are:
Harper to #1 -> walker to #4 ->
Foran to #7 -> cust to #6
Siro to #13 -> Lawton to bench utility
I am really hopeful we don't put walker back at fb when he...
I know it seems impossible to always hang on to them all (& manage the cap etc)... but what a team we could have had (great mix of youth and experience):
1. Turbo
2. Hynes
3. Hopoate
4. Ramien
5. Simonssen
6. Gutherson
7. Dce
8. Jwh
9. Virrels
10. Knight
11. Burbo
12. Garner
13. Jake
14. Foran...
Ok might sound obvious to most but if you were the coach and you could recruit/ strengthen two positions in the team... which would you pick/ prioritize?
For mine I would love to have signed an Alex Johnston type player (solid winger who can also slot in at #1) & also would like to see some...
A very small flicker of "something" shown by all the new guys to the team this year (Saab, foran, aloai, davey) I thought were our best today...
Not sure what it says about all the plodders who have been playing together previously!
Ok so I'm going to address the elephant in the room... why is guacamole out of favour at our club? Is he injured? Is he part of the supposed issue behind the scenes?
Like many of us from what I've seen of him he should be in the team every day of the week!
with potentially more injuries next week isn't looking promising... potential team:
1. Elliot
2. Miski? (Assuming tafua still not back)
3. Parker
4. Suli
5. Garrick
6. Elgey
7. Docker clay? (Other option is curtis or koraisau in halves but i think we'd lack a kicking game & Hodko also out)
8...
Just wondering if anyone has any info re snake being back in the pants?
I believe he has taken on a mentoring/ambassador role... has anyone seen him at training etc? I think his insight would really assist the likes of TT.
And who was saying its been a positive & scandal free pre-season?!

Police confirmed a 24-year-old is currently at Manly Police Station assisting with enquiries.

Utterly hopeless! Cannot defend... inept in attack!
Suli is severely overrated - dunno why he had such a big rep before the season?
Parker.... is a reserve grader at best!
Baz is a fool for continuing to pick these 2 together...
Not alot of options but id be putting walker back into the...
For his part in Galdstonegate? If true - If the captain breaks curfew it doesn't set a good example....
"Attitude reflects leadership".... and it seems our teams attitude has been off lately!
