Is there a better backup outside back in the comp? Not now that Ikuvalu is gone!

We can't move Talakai but wouldn't mind seeing him given an extended run in Ramien's spot.
Outplayed Ramien tonight, without doubt

You're a broken record, but unbelievably brain dead also.
If you'd rather Sifa over Tracey in the centres I'd say you shouldn't be calling other folks brain dead. Tracey is a much better defender and more of an attacking threat with pace than Easter Island boy.

I loved Ramiens set in defence where he made 3 tackles i a row with huge contact to keep them in their 20 before Marzhew ran 20 through the middle. CT won’t be able to do that. But played fast and hard today

I’m starting to think it has to be:

4 Tracey/Talakai

14 Tracey/Talakai
15 Middle
16 Middle
17 Middle

I’ll let Fitz decides who starts, who’s on the bench.

Between the 2 of them they have every position covered in an emergency.

Then we can 3 legimate middles on the bench, Talakai can spend some time there too if there’s no injuries.

I just don’t think Tracey is capable of ball playing thou.
His passing game isn’t the greatest.
As a centre or on the wing, when he is just making metres, he is exceptional, can’t be faulted, but when you ask him to ball play more/regularly , he seems to make mistakes.

Happy to be proven wrong, but historically his passing game needs work.

The bloke who reverts to racism every chance he gets really shouldn't be commenting on other people's brains.

Irrespective of what they're paid, is it crazy to consider playing Connor Tracey ahead of Jesse Ramien? I like Ramien but he can be a bit hot or cold. He makes some mistakes and gives away some dumb penalties. While Tracey lacks Ramien's physicality he may be safer and more reliable.

Personally, I think Ramien is more a match winner for you than Tracey

Ramien is more likely to make something happen with his speed, hard nosed defence and a bit of unpredictability in attack, but granted he has some “what the **** moments” in his game.
Tracey is safer overall but I don’t think he is as dangerous in attack or aggressive in D.

Tracey is great at getting metres, has speed and gives 110% effort in everything he does, I just think Ramien is more likely to win you a game over Tracey.

I did think it was strange that Tracey didn’t just pin the ears back and kept straight down that left touch line when he grabbed that loose ball!
