Jamie Humphreys

[Smokin Joe]

With addition of Brooks we now have two top tier options for general play kicks on the paddock at the same time, so less of a need for a kicking game from the hooker.

The make up of the pack and bench will be interesting.
If Jake is at prop and Brown 13, then how does the bench go...?
Lawton,Parker(he played right edge back rower yesterday),Bullemor and another prop?
Where does Schuster fit in if BenT gets the edge starting spot?
Does Sipley start or come off the bench if not suspended?
Where does it leave Aloiai?
What happens when Lodge is available?
Lots of questions,but good questions and position to be in ....

Maybe Waddell in place of Parker. Not sure if he's fit though (?)

Run on pack seems very likely .
Agree that Seibold would probably prefer Schuster on the bench but very problematic to say the least .Would be a bit concerned with Aloiai "s current situation as seems to often struggle with macth fitness even when previously available and selected .
Parker would not be out of place on the bench , has that helpful degree of reliability and can definitely contribute in most circumstances

Personally dont see Lawton making it

Yeah,I like Arthur,I just think that "if" you select Lawton then you cover the 9 and half position ( I guess BenT could cover centre instead of Parker...)

 

[eaglebuzz]

Aside from the fact that we've now lost Sipley and someone like Waddell / James will have to come in for him, I feel pretty good about our prospects for Rd 1. Here's hoping we don't have any more injuries or suspensions.

 

[Disco]

Arthur comes straight into the halves if Brooks or DCE are out but he is not a bench option IMO

 

[40 nil]

With Sipley out, I think Lawton has a chance to grab a back row spot on the bench (where he's been selected most often in the past). I still prefer GCKT as 14. If Schuster plays in the next trial & is selected on the bench for Vegas, he can cover for the halves.

Agree. I saw a photo of Parker today he looks like he has filled out a bit as well.

In true pre-season speak, he has "trained down the house"

Honest question here ,
Do you think Aloaioa has strung more than 2 good games in a row since coming here ?

 

[Stewbojevic]

Why are we turning Jamie into a 9? Looks a very talented half!

 

[Coops manly]

Humphrey's is a little bit more skilful then a back up hooker

 

[KaZa]

Dce replacement
