Message: [QUOTE="Lockysillegitimatechild, post: 3032898, member: 8814"] That backline goes against everything we are trying to achieve with the changes we made last week. The good thing we had with bird and Staggs, and to a lesser amount and of lesser quality with shibasaki, was work ethic. You can tell seibold is trying to build a backline that helps the pack and is solid defensively. I'd go with Glenn or fifita to centre to start the game with Roberts on the bench, give isaako a few weeks at fullback in QLD cup to give us a viable option to replace boyd if his form doesn't continue like the manly game. It gives us some tough defence for Latrell to start the game and it would be in the back of his mind that Roberts will be coming on when he's tired after getting tackled by a bigger body all game then at the end of the game he's got the speed of Roberts. It'd also give fifita alot more minutes, send Roberts the message that he still needs to earn his spot (with defensive effort in particular), and still gives us a big bodied rotation. I'd also swap flegler with carrigan to start, carrigan defensive efforts are great, he really controls the ruck a fair bit actually and flegler looks a little tired when he starts. As tempting as it is to throw segeyaro straight in, I think we need to make Roberts earn his spot from the bench, otherwise it won't send a message at all to him and the team and we will be in the same situation with his poor attitude after a few weeks at most. We could possibly put segeyaro on the bench with Glenn or fifita to play 80 mins at centre but that is a risk with Latrell possibly figuring them out and exposing them in defence after half a game [/QUOTE]
