Re: 19 man squad : Wed Sep 15, 2010 6:38 pm  

FB 2 Roberts
RW 24 Goulding
RC 3 Gleeson
LC 4 Carmont
LW 5 Richards
SO 6 Sam
SH 7 Leuluai
P 8 Fielden
H 9 Riddell
P 29 Tuson
SR 11 Hansen
SR 12 Joel
LF 13 O'Loughlin

S 10 Coley
S 15 McIllorum
S 17 Paleaaesina
S 25 Farrell

Lots of firepower off the bench to make sure we don't fizzle out after 20 again, don't want Pat at FB because he's so important on the wing but if Roberts starts looking pap then switch them midway

I'd play it safe and play him at FB from kick off.

As effective a winger he is, we should have enough about us to be threatening enough with him at FB.

I'd go with ...

Roberts
Goulding
Gleeson
Carmont
Pat
Sam
Tommy
Coley
McLlorum
Fielden
Farrell
Joel
Lockers

BENCH...

Riddell
Feka
Prescott
Hansen

Let McLlorum start, we always start like a house on fire. Then when our front line props come off for Feka and Prescott bring Riddell and Hansen on at the same time to add the impact and keep us on a role.

What would you suggest (apologies if you have explained on a different thread), given the players that are in the 19?

We could cover injuries in the backline, though obviously we'd be a lot weaker for it. For example, if a winger's injured, move Roberts to wing, Sam to 1, O'Loughlin to 6 and Farrell to loose.

Well I would suggest a different 19 for a start.

If you honestly think that putting Lockers at 6 is a valid option then we may as well stop this debate now.

The bench should include a player able to cover in the backs at the very least.

Phelps would seem an obvious option. TL could rotate to hooker maybe dropping McIllorum. Maybe put Charnley there, I dunno.

Then again I am not paid to make those decisions.

What I will say is that from 14-0 up on Friday ONE injury to our halfback ensured we lost the game. Imo the risk of this happening again > the "luxury" of having a back on the bench.

If you are right then MM is an idiot. I really really hope that you are wrong.

If Locky is playing 6 we can forget any chance of getting to the GF, never mind winning it.
