Changes for Gold Coast

[Allikat]

REAL CHANGES!! Woo Langdon! And only 1 legit ruck

 

[estibador]

Melt avoided!

 

[Kram]

Like these changes.

 

[Zacy boy]

Frem v GC A.Sandilands , M.Johnson , E.Langdon , A.Pearce for Griffin, Mzungu, Clarke, Taberner. B.Matera , K.Kolodjashnij for Rosa, Miller.

great ins, but feel as though we really need to persist with Tabs, skills are there he just needs the confidence....

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Oh thank GOD.

Weller keeps his spot! Pretty damning for Griffin to be dropped... Who else is going to ruck?

Well done to Langdon getting a game. Would've been easy to include De Boer, but hopefully we're learning.

 

[Allikat]

I'm pretty happy with the changes. I think Clancee's lucky to keep his spot. Super glad Weller's been kept in. I'm guessing AlexP is going to go forward/pinch hit?

 

[E Shed]

Finally some sanity is prevailing. Couldn't have asked for more than this.

Not happy with C.Pearce.

 

[Righteo]

I don't like the Taberner omission but otherwise they're decent enough changes. It seems like the coaching staff still don't really know what to do about our forward line, at least it keeps the opposition guessing?

Get his confidence with peel, uebergang finally get to play back for peel.

Clancee "The Butcher" Pearce must have some incriminating photos of the selection committee. Other than that - good changes.

 

[Deveraux]

Very very happy with the changes.

I really hope Weller, Langdon and Pearce nail their spot from here on in.

Personally would have liked to see Tabs get another crack but not complaining.

 

[Unique Name]

Going in with one ruck...... I like it.

 

[estibador]

Langdon and Weller both playing was the only thing I really wanted to see, so I'm happy.

AP too of course, but I consider him an obvious best 22 player already when fit.

 

[MadDocker]

Nice changes but like others, think they should persist with Tabs. Reads like Pearce will be playing up forward to me.

 

[Allikat]

And we get all 3 Pearces playing this week! I'll be on Pearce to Pearce to Pearce watch

perhaps as mentioned before, AP will be playing forward for this game. Not sure how i feel about this either as im of the belief that AP's best possession is down back.

 

[ydraw]

Tabs dropped again after 1 game. Way to back him in.

 

[leeloo]

I also would like to have seen Tabs stay in and even if we play like a bag of shit again, I hope they keep A.Pearce and Langdon in for a good spell. I'm a big believer of not being able to fully develop in the twos.

I'm not a Tabener fan, but I do agree with you in this situation, no one could kick goals in Freo forward line last week. The dilemma is how long does he stay in wafl, it can't be good for confidence going up and down.
I'm happy with the balance of changes though think Hughues is a little lucky, not sold on his disposal.

 

[ydraw]

Interesting we'll be going in with only 1 ruck. First time that's ever happened under Lyon.

 

[Lach72]

Yeah, can't say I agree with it personally...

 

[Righteo]

Naive

 

[Nothing]

Emergencies.

• Matt De Boer,
• Alex Silvagni,
• Jonathon Griffin

Still time for some of the kids to come out.

 

[FreoRicci]

Just hope Tabs gets a few weeks to gain his confidence with Peel. None of this In for 1 week our for 2 weeks like last season. He wasn't our worst on Sunday, hardly to blame compared to Suttclife/ Clancee Pearce and Spurr. Very lucky players this week, hope they perform like they want their spots.
