Ha ha! I thought to myself just then what a funny bugger you were being but I just checked the signature on the email he sent me and amazingly his mobile number is there!!!!

Rookie coach!

I do think he and Hunt give us a pretty fearsome starting middle. They are both big, mobile bodies that take the pressure off Dale, Toby and McInness and stop bigger teams rolling through us. And can both play decent minutes (more of an 'I think' for Hunt, but he looks like he handles the current load well).

Are you suggesting one or the other starting, or either?

Not sure I'd start both I'd rather rotate them.
Could see how in certain matchups I might consider starting both though, especially if other team had significant gap between starting props and bench props.

I wouldn't be against them both starting. It might not be the solution but it think it would work, albeit in a different way. The benefit could come almost moreso from Toby getting to play the right minutes.

Not a reply, but a reaction.

I wouldn't start BHU and Hunt. Hunt would be much better off the bench 10-15 minutes either side of half time.

One big bodied prop with Finucane and Toby also starting is sufficient size with mobility in my opinion.

You could be right. Toby doesn't give you much time in his opening stint before he's gassed though, which has been a problem. But I've always thought he's more of a bench guy in any case, so there's that bias.

Hopefully they have learnt a thing or two from the Flanno days and this number is for a burner phone!

When the **** does a starting 17 player come back through Newtown? Never is the answer. Even Wade didn't and he hadn't played for 20 years

BHU will come straight back into the team and so he should

Play him from the bench first game back whatever then 2nd game Hunt can go back to bench. Hunt is too good not to have in the 17

Toby's fitness is alot better this year, he can remain a starter with similar minutes to what he's already getting. He's doing a good job

 

[bort]

Does Jack Williams in round 3 count?

 

[Sparkles]

Jason Croker? Think he was dropped though

 

[MMsharks]

can't wait to have him back.
would need to be the right run to ease him back into it

3-4 weeks hopefully

This on Facebook TODAY .
Perhaps Cowboys ?
Doubt he starts against Storm

 

[Sir Chadley]

Thanks for posting egg.

I agree with you, I think the Storm game is too soon. But could certainly use him for the Panthers game.

 

[egg]

Hope So .
Getting closer either way
Fingers crossed he get back to top form and stays uninjured

 

[Tiger Shark]

By next game he probably means Cowboys, either way if we get him back in the next few games it'll be huge. Might take him a few weeks to get his fitness up and groove on.

With a 4 forward bench he can take Fifitas spot of 15 min for a week or 2.
