Finals Week 3 - Sea Eagles vs Broncos - Build Up Thread

[m1c]

I don't think Hook would entertain the thought of Hunt. Norman would be straight in there. No disruption.

You have to remember that Hunt hasn't played 80 minutes, nor seen any time in the halves all year. Hook also has no problems throwing rookies into the fire.

^^^ This.

Bringing in Hunt to the halves and Baptiste to the bench creates too many changes.

Locky out, Norman in is a straight swap and nothing else changes. Best option in that case.

This year Norman has played 3 times at five eighth for one loss and two wins. The loss was against (who else) the Sea Eagles.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Norman will play.

Could work. He'd be more a Greg Bird style 6 than a Lockyer. Maybe with a player like Beale at the back we can afford to have that.

In fairness, the article did point out Gillett played a season at five-eighth in 2009, so he at least CAN play that role.
But still, come on!

 

[jarro65]

I'd be interested to see how he'd go there....

.. just not in a preliminary final :rash:

Lot of good it did to us last year, remember? :rolleyes:

I think it's a genuine option, the other being a halves combo of Hunt and Wallace. I can't see Norman being thrown into that situation so why not Gillett and if it's sucks on the night we go back to Wallace and Hunt with Glenn giving Macca a break if he needs it.

The more I think about it the more I like it.

 

[dukey]

Let's face it; the game is going to be a grind. In that situation we're probably better having a bigger body in the halves than a Corey Norman.
