He can do that from Loose.

Hmm surprise surprise, Penny really is Colt Seavers!

I would go for that too.

i would like to see how bridge would get on at loose, think hed make a great loose forward

Not as well as influence our go forward.

What's wrong with Carvell?

Knee ligament problem.

The same thing thats been wrong with him on a regular basis over the last few years, he`s out again injured.

For a good while as well...

Lowes obviously wasn't happy with how he performed as 18th man last week, so he's been dropped from the 19 this time around. Maybe he should have sat in the stands looking like a manic depressive stoner, to fit in with the boss.

Has been talk of him playing at 6 with Briers 7 and Monaghan 9..........whether thats from the off or via switches/subs during the game I don't know.

Why dont we put players in their correct positions?
Bridge at 6,Briers at 7,Monaghan at 9 and clarke somewhere in Widnes.

Briers 6, Monaghan 7, Clarke 9, Higham 14 are the correct positions. Briers has always had a utility value and can stay in the centres until Lowes sees sense and brings Penny back. In fact, Bridge and Penny might be ok on the left.

since when has briers been a centre...dont you mean bridge(who is a stand off)

Thats what needs to happen, although I would play Clarke at loose forward with both Andersons at second row.

Monaghan is a Hooker, how many times do I have to say it

It's fairly obvious Monaghan is not a half back, but he is a hooker who was instrumental in Manly reaching the 2007 grand final. Should Lowes give him a go in his natural position?

Can't understand Tyke not being in & Blythe left in!

Of course he should but I fear Lowes wont want to rock the boat with monas and micky.

He is a gutless wonder who goes back on his word everytime.

Blythe can cover the backline, I guess that'll keep him in the 17 right now, we're not blessed with too many options in the backs dep't.

- Riley
- Hicks
- Gleeson
- Bridge
- King
- Briers
- Monaghan
- Morley
- Higham
- Wood
- V Anderson
- L Anderson
- Mitchell

Subs

- Clarke
- Grix
- Rauhihi
- Harrison

I would also Put Monaghan at hooker and put bridge at 7 while grix goes in centre and higham drops to bench

Rileys done great at fullback but I noticed last Saturday that after a few high shots and tough tackles he was a bit shaken up and his confidence dropped during the last 10 mins or so


i just hope other teams dont start to target him

Of course they won't because if they do 'Lord Justice Stevo' will be calling for more 10 game bans!

I'd play Michell ahead of Blythe, Michell is much better defender and i think we will need as many good defenders on the field as possible to prevent an embarressing score line.

Id start mitchell and put louie on bench. More useful impact. Would also perhaps have tyke on bench in place of blythe.

Perhaps reason for Tyrone not being involved more is that he wasnt finished his studies yet? I know it is soon.

I'd have Morley on the bench for the same reason.
