Did anyone else make a line break?

Yeah but I don’t really see him as a lock. Looks more suited to second row.

It's just odd that we still played terribly even with a hooker making linebreaks and speeding his passes up. It's like our problems lie elsewhere or something

Is there a chance Paix could be a late inclusion this week?
I don't have much faith in Turpin playing 80 at the moment.

He doesnt really handle playing 80 in ISC, Reddy pretty much alway interchange him with Pratt.

Boyd said this in an interview today :
"We also have a couple of options if Jake can't finish 80 minutes, then Alex Glenn and Kotoni Staggs can move in there and take a bit of pressure off as well"
So you would assume from this statement that the named squad will remain that way.

Yes, I wouldn't be surprised to see Paix come in. He also provides a bit of insurance should Dearden stuff it all up at some point.

One linebreak, but you're right: we didn't lose because of Macca. He was probably one of the better players. That statement alone sums up where we're at. The crisis at number 1 has dwarfed every other problem.

Could be looking for that impact right away from the getgo

Especially since joffa just re signed for 500k. I’m sure being benched wasn’t part of the negotiations.

If Paix is viewed a long-term option at 9, why is he playing exclusively at Halfback for the Dolphins? Seems pretty counter-intuitive.

Perhaps Carrigan isn't being brought on for impact.
Perhaps Carrigan is being brought on to give us a fresh defender when the forwards are tiring. We have other forwards for impact.

Which does make sense.
If we started with Carrigan all of a sudden we have a bench of Flegler, Fifita, TPJ & Ofahengaue. Which on the surface sounds a great impact bench, but really it's 4 guys who are prone to missing tackles when they get gassed.
I'm happy with Lodge, Haas & Carrigan leading the minutes for the forwards, coming off the bench shouldn't make a massive difference to Carrigans minutes if Seibold uses him correctly. (Bring him on after 30 mins and leave him on)
