As above but wyne FB Connor to 6.

We get far more out of Conner at FB. Sadly Sneed and McNamara is a poor partnership.

Very poor and having those two there reduces the effect that Connor can have, not sure Shaul is the answer at FB, but gives us some pace

Shaul
Connor
Sneyd

is alot more threatening than

Connor
McNamara
Sneyd.

Only other option could be
Connor
Carlos
Sneyd

I'd move Connor into the 7 spot, 1st receiver, it would give our most creative player more opportunities with the ball,
at least he'd give more variations on our last tackle plays, instead of the predictable up n under from Sneyd..
Sneyd play at right pivot (6)
FB Wynne or Shaul.
Start Johnstone, at least we'd have more creatitvity, from dummy half,

Wont happen though.....

If we want to win this game then we have to move Connor back to 6
Wynne to full back and Jamie Shaul again on the bench as a middle like against KR but needs to do more minutes which helps the team and also gives Houghton a breather.
This is also our best option of adding some much need pace.
Said previously that Hodgson is a bit too loyal with certain players but leaving McNamara at 6 would be a major error on his part.
Bowden and Johnstone should be nowhere near the starting 17 but i expect as Taylor and Brown will be missing Bowden will get a bench spot

Needs must as its too soon for Mcnamara and sneyds bang out of form. So Connor to halfback
Wynne to fullback
Shaul bench hooker option.

I agree.

I hate to knock our players, but despite his injuries Bowden is barely going through the motions these day. He’s just not the player he used to be. Johnstone offers us nothing and I wouldn’t have him near the 17 again. Although he’s had his own indifferent season, I think we’d actually get more impact using Fonua as a forward from the bench than Bowden and JJ at the moment.

apologies I hadn't read that

As well as he's done at full back we have to go with Connor at stand off. McNamara is unfortunately not going well with Sneyd and isn't ready for week in week out Super League.

Connor is best at full back good half backs have pace. Unfortunately ours don’t have any including Connor.
Connor needs a bit of room to work his magic and he won’t get it in the middle.

My team would be

Connor

Bureta
Scott
Mahe
Swift

Carlos
Sneyd

Satae
Mint
Ligi

Manu
Andre
Lane



Fash
Bowden
Shaul
McNamara
