Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 2952683, member: 9052"] I actually don't see there being too many changes other than some tryouts for next series. Not exactly a whole lot of players putting their hands up at the moment. Below is not necessarily what I'd go with, I just think Kevvie will give them one last chance to redeem themselves. 1. Slater 2. Val (preferred right side) 3. GI 4. Gagai (right side to see if he has what it takes before next series. Will be a very tough baptism for Gags and Val up against Latrell and Fox... maybe too tough) 5. Oates (left side) 6. Munster 7. Hunt (series is lost so this would be his final chance. Next year reevaluate the options of Morgan (cows will be his team then), Milf (see how his continued development is going) and Taylor (kicking game and continued development) 8. Napa 9. Macca 10. McGuire 11. Cooper (as mentioned by others he's just a placeholder for Gillette, there's also no alternatives screaming out for it so would just be a hit and hope on whoever they pick) 12. Kaufusi 13. Arrow (see if he can knock out 80) 14. Ponga 15. Papa 16. Hess (needs more minutes and to be used better) 17. Offa I don't see too many viable options screaming out to be picked and I also think the tactics were very poor. Maloney is a dead set liability out there in defense but was hardly targeted inside the red zone. We have Felise who is a great runner at halves on the edge and Hess who when put 1-on-1 is near impossible to stop. Yet I can barely recall it occurring... it worked in game 1 and then we've barely been back there!!! Imagine having Felise and Hess hitting Maloney's inside and outside shoulder (at the same time) with Slater sweeping out the back. It'd be a nightmare to defend. Also for the storm Felise receives a lot of his good ball from Slater. Yet Slater was always out the back on the stock standard sweep. The offense was continually heading down GI and Munster's edge. I get that GI is a great target close to the line, but in game 1 it showed that Cleary is actually a decent defender and going there continually on sweep plays doesn't allow GI to straighten up and hit the line hard, his best asset. Also Cooper isn't a great attacking second rower without JT giving him room service passes, therefore defense can hang off him a little and throw more bodies at GI. GI is great when he's hit short or on the inside close to the line one on one... basically use him the same as an edge back rower. Latrell scored his try in almost the same fashion. Just thought the attack inside the 20m was very poor and almost mindless at times. [/QUOTE]
