Some points:
I think you mean Dellit, not Delvit
I think you mean Metuisela, not Melevisla (plus, what's wrong with Brownie?)
Why have you put JO'C at 11 and Dellit (a full-back) at 12?
I quite like Mafi and Smith, so I'd keep Dellit on the bench, but maybe give him more than the 10 minutes he's getting per game.
WTF? Have none of you been impressed by the K.Bomb when he has come on in matches?
I certainly don't think he has done his chances of first up selection any harm.
Keep up the good work Kezza.
Rebels game is taken care of- bringing the Tah-supporting lucky charms- the parentals.
They're 2-0 forwins, even though on one occasion we were at the SFS and they were supporting the opposition
(the other was the 1st win at Subi vs Canes)
And probably wants to push for starting next year with Tim moving on......he's certainly capable of playing at that level, now he just needs to develop an ability to go 80 minutes, which is hard when he's only getting 20

Kieran Longbottom ( on the moment one of those props looks weak)
Tom Hockings
James Stannard,
David Smith (On at 50 Minutes for Alfi)
Pat Dellit (on at 60 into fullback, Sheps into 11, JOC in to 10, Willie of)
Smith out and o'connor on the wing? Ok, it's hard to argue rabbit wouldn't be a better winger than smithy, but I reckon the difference would be less than the difference between rabbit and gene at 12.

I reckon the Rebels are going to try and run us into he ground with Mortlock, Mitchell, and Kingi. To date Gene has not missed a lot of tackles so that is my reason to play him at 12 for the first 60 minutes.
Having JOC on the wing will give him space and a opportunity to counter attach every time the Rebels loose the ball or when Capriani kicks it like they did against the Canes.
Doing the replacement with JOC going to 10 and Sheps to 11 will hopefully have the right effect of speeding the game up for the last 20 and hopefully get the Rebels to run out of steam.
we need JOC near the action at 12 if Willie is to play.... Stannard at 9 he has a superior pass and Sheeham will be great in the last 30 when we need fresh legs around the fringe. Leave Sheps at 15.
Brownie: he goes foward 1 m and they push him back 2m just doesnt have the upper body strength for a loose forward
how about Brownie at 13? Hes about the same size as Mortlock and has better stepping ability and tackles like a beast..
on another note anyone notice that we lose whenever Sharpie celebrates a milestone? we got thumped for his 100th game and now again for his record breaking game... Sharpie stop celebrating milestones... dont retire play for ever and we'll never lose!!![]()
i was kidding about brownie.. but makes you wonder, what if?
Sheehan has been absolute rubbish. Stannard looks sharp when he comes on
Fairbanks has the attacking penetration of a retarded sloth. Why did we waste sponsorship dollars on a he never was washed up hack?
our midfield defence is a major weakness. The 12/13 channel has been very rewarding for hard running opponents. We are 2 centres short of a decent backline. the halves and back 3 are quite exciting
Brown has had one good game in 2 years. Stop kidding yourselves
Wykes is worse than useless in every facet of the game apart from an occasional exceptional pick and go. Once the opposition works his trick out, he'll be worse than useless.
They are a decent playing group coached by 3 spoonies. The coaches are rubbish. Time for them to leave on the special bus and hire some people that understand the game
