Not a bad idea.
It was heart in mouth stuff when our blokes started going down in the second half. I reckon next week they will rest at least Suli, Kenny, Tino and Cam Munster ( who finished the game with his legs wrapped up like a prize racehorse ).
The last 2 weeks have been very strange - 4 tries against us each game , by teams outside the top 8. That right hand defence remains very dodgy. Will be very interesting to see who plays out there next week. I reckon Paul Momirovski will get a run, but query Ricky Leutele.
Welch comes back in , hopefully Paps and Dale too who need a run pre- finals.

I do wonder if Paps is a much better communicator out the back than Hynes? So many poor misses one on one or a player making a poor defensive read while out of position. Definelty strange but hopefully not too concerning. Outside of the right edge we're pretty strong across the park.RobbieRoss wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 9:48 pmThe last 2 weeks have been very strange - 4 tries against us each game , by teams outside the top 8.

Better than last week, in the sense that we were able to get back control in the second half, but disappointing from a defensive point of view.
Nicho looked comfortable with the ball, but maybe blazza you're right, maybe Paps is better at marshalling the defence?
I think we need an outside back on the bench, we looked worse when Suli went off.
Also, do you think Smith will now announcing his retirement after passing Bellamy's try scoring record? haha

I don;t see why you can't have both, in football/soccer you can there can be a yellow/red card offence play on called, team scores, and then have the card shown after the goal. It's saying players actions don't count if they other team scores.
Yourhero
The Tigers first try, with our defensive style where did it it fall down? Suli had no choice but to take take the inside man, was it a problem with the inside players (I think Tino) not working hard enough to push out? Is this justifiably attributable to the fullback? (Given the speed of the play I don't think so and besides, the fullback was nowhere to be seen). I'm not for one minute critical of Nicho because I think he has the goods, I think his timing of passes is beautiful. Dare I say it, he has deft hands.
Some soft stuff let up through the middle, and after Suli went off a centre playing on the wing was shown up.
Observation
When are players going to realise their value in specific positions, be it Wing or Bench? Opening up a can of worms here maybe but Josh, you're a Winger and Brandon a bench player. The value these players bring to these positions is just as important and immense as a so called "coveted" starting position. Starting Hooker or Fullback may seemingly attract a bigger pay check but it should not. Good luck next year Josh. To borrow an old Commonwealth Bank Add, stick with the strength.
