Stiffy - yeah I forgot about Torney. Read he had a good game with Souths, wouldnt mind him back in there.
As for Ladhams, dont think he is in favour atm and has some work to do.
Brent Reilly should be left in the side. Should not be on the bench. If he cannot start on the wing, play him in a forward pocket or flank. He can get the ball and he kicks a nice goal.
As nice as it was that Dogga kicked a couple - he did some soft stuff and he is not a genuine forward.
No crumbers today, no one to feed off Carey when it hit the ground, which meant he couldnt bring anyone into the game.
Bring in Burns, Schuback and maybe send Reilly up forward and tell them where Carey goes you go. Put a crumber around him all the time and feed off him.
Apparently Torney played an excellent game for the Panthers and kicked a couple of goals in the process.
Ladhams might be out of favour for some reason but boy do we need his crumbing ability. One of the most disappointing things from todays game is that we had no crumber. Carey made a contest but there was not a crumber in sight. Bloddy pathetic if you ask me.
Both Reilly and Hentschel must be kept in the side but for crying out lound play them in the right positions. What was Reilly doing in a back pocket?????? What was Hentschel doing up forward. Play Reilly on the wing and Hentschel in defence.
I don't want to bring in Burns, I want us to bring in youth not an inconsistent 31 year old. We really need to make some serious structural changes.
It has become obvious that we will struggle to kick goals. Play Welsh, Carey and Burton at the FF line. Play Perrie at CHF and surround him with crumbers. Play Reilly on one wing and maybe doughty or Johncock on the other.
I wouldn't be surprised if Burns in brought in for the Brisbane games. Lions have shown in the past that they find it hard to cover nippy small forwards. I would expect us to play a lot of quick players in our forward ine against Lions. The likes of Johncock, Schuey, Burns, McLeod and Ladhams spring to mind.
A LOT of work ahead of us. We need a marking firward to step up or Watts will be getting games much earlier than we expected.
