Surely you are not putting the opposition scoring at will when Jordans off to slow distribution? I'll add our distribution hasn't been great by anyone. We'd only played 23 minutes v Saints and it was 0-0. A recognised hooker plays from there on in and we get smashed. Two tries through poor defence by our hooker in same game. Recognised hooker starts v Hull and we are losing 8-0. When we've had recognised hookers on we've created nothing and leaked points. That's probably why poor Jordan gets put there. Fans don't look that close and I'll bet three-quarters wouldn't know about the stats and point the finger at Jordan rather than the actual hookers. I like most don't want Jordan at hooker. But our hookers have been injured and not fired upon their return. Hopefully they'll start firing and get back to 80minute footy so he doesn't have to go there.

No chance this game

focus on next weel

l agree are we picking our matches ?

Not at all. Just like I'm not saying that the low score was purely down to Crowther being on.

If you have slow ball, your kick isn't as deep, your forwards don't make as much ground and you are easy to defend against.
So if you don't offer anything in attack, you will eventually run out of steam in defense.

I would put Tupou on the bench if he is not injured because he is big enough to cover SR or be in the back line. The problem we have had that any injuries to the centres or wings usually results in us moving a SR to cover in the centres.

Got to the point with all the injuries and comings and going I’ve lost track to be honest , I don’t really care who plays where as long as they play with passion and pride and put the effort in for the full 80 ,they’ll do for me .
Oh and come away with a win will be a bonus

Me too. In fact does anyone know who the preferred 1-17 are because I haven't got a clue.

This post is a good indication we might come away with 2 points tonight

That makes no sense at all.

I would try Greensmith before putting Tupou back anywhere.

I’m astounded by some posters on here, toupo In the team all day, he makes ground, he makes breaks and on his day he’s a match winner and we want as many match winners in the team as possible. Why on earth would anyone replace a player with a player no where near as good

I second that - even an off-form Bill is better that what is in the squad for tonight!

Absolutely but in my opinion, not in the centre - Both Arundel and Lyne never let anyone down and either rarely have a bad performance.

On the wing - Yes. In my honest opinion both Kay and Kershaw have both shown they are targets and defensively are not great at this level and are both prone to silly errors that cost us dearly. I would have Tupou and Senior on our wings every time over these 2.

I can see why Tupou isn’t playing today with the defensive mate he had in last game but I also agree with this. I think Bill would still be in my team presently and I would definitely put him on the wing outside Arundel until TJ is back with Senior on the right. That to me is the best backline we currently have once Jowitt gets back to 1.
