Drop Boyd, Milf and Offa. They have been disgraceful considering their contracts and experience levels. Give Flegler a rest for a week or 2, he will come good.
Croft was trying to play 6 and 7 by himself tonight. He needs someone next to him who is going to have a crack. Siebs is hesitent to chuck Dearden to the wolves as the kid hasn't played a full game of footy in over 12 months i think he mentioned. If he isn't up for it, chuck Paix at 6 and give Dearden 20-30mins off the bench at hooker until he is ready. It's not going to win us any games immediately but i have no doubt these young fellas will rip in for 80mins. Milf is done in my books.
Te'o is under done but desperate times call for desparate measures. He looks built like a middle forward at the moment so lets get him in the middle hurting blokes. You can see he is wanting to get involved when he is on but we are seriously on the back foot by then and he isn't able to make an impact. Lets see how he goes with more minutes.
That bench looks like it is missing a bigger body but oh well... Kennedy has been ripping in when given the chance. Hoppa isn't popular on here but i liked the energy and physicality he was bringing. His downfalls aren't due to a lack of effort thats for sure. I would like to see him in the middle in shorter stints, i think he is better suited in that role.
Croft, Lodge, Glenn and Carrigan can hold their heads high.
