Can't agree with RFM going back to the bench. He was the best backrower on the field last game.

I believe Flanagan is of the opinion, like myself, that Eisenhuth is a superior defender and is needed in the softening up period.

Was thinking that too. Take a bit of pressure off JDB.

 

[Morgan]

Not getting ahead just indicating that the stats indicating that we should lose.

Thats what I said

I don't follow or understand stats as good as you but I guess stats after round 1 indicate we should win and they (Dolphins) should lose.

I'll clarify this the stats indicated that in the last 6 seasons we have only won our opening 2 matches once. So if you follow that train of thought we won't be winning this weekend. I think we will win but watch out for a bounce back from a Bennett trained team especially at home.

Hopefully we have turned the corner. But they are going to be fired up after their terrible display last round.

That might be what he was thinking but I'm not so sure I like it. RFM was smashing blokes last Sat. Maybe I would have left JDB at prop, Eisenhuth lock, RFM and Su'A in the second row.

Like last week I don't think this will be the starting 13.

What do you think the changes will be?

The quicker JDB never plays prop again the better for his longevity in the game

 

[GCRV]

The quicker JDB never plays prop again the better for his longevity in the game

He's only got this season and hopefully one more.

I just checked his stats from last game. He was on a long time and made a lot of quality tackles but didn't fire a shot with his running.

Age catches up with all of us.

Stats can be misleading. I think he will and should get another season.

I think he's told to play a certain way. In the case of JDB coach wants him passing more, hitting it up less. But I like to see him bring out the offload again. He can still do it because he did playing for PNG.

Dragons by 20
MoM = Liddle
First try = RFM

 

[Morgan]

Dragons by 4 (Do Bennett coached teams ever get thrashed 2 weeks in a row?)
MoM = Sloan
First try = Rava

I think Broncos were thashed in the last week of the regular season then first week of the finals then Bennett was sacked.
