Personally, I prefer that option. But wearing 6 (I know - unpopular suggestion). Off the bench is not a great idea and doesn't do anything except disturb a structure mid game.

Brett Finch and Maurice Blair added to the bench with Kenny Bromwich, Slade Griffin and Setu omitted.

It's an interesting move, you would think Bromwich, Noz, Proc and Tohu would need a break at some point, with Moors and Ryles rotating up front I guess Blair will play 2nd row and Finch at lock?

Doesn't look confident at all. Brought back too early maybe.

Ol 1999 was crazy for wanting Fonua and O'Neill Switched, was only a matter of time.

This isn't the real O'Neill. He is clearly nervous about his jaw.

Coming back early doesn't excuse constant horrible reads. Ferguson is burning him quite literally every time he gets the ball. Swap O'Neill and Fonua for the second half, or put M Blair there. Things are that urgent.

Pathetic performance
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

I remember a time when we didnt lose when we scored 20+ points, guys really need to shift back to workin on D, let the attack just flow off that.

I don't know what Widdop was doing kicking on the first tackle when we had a scrum 20m out with 2 minutes to go... That killed me more than anything. Use the whole f*cking set and if you can't break the line, THEN put it up. FMD.

Just un-Melbourne like. Rushing. Panicked. Trying to pull the trigger on every play.
