That’s crazy. Morris not picking Fifita last week was a mistake the boys themselves say how important he is and what he bring to youngins when he’s on the field.

Hope it’s not true

Fifs is a must IMO.

So we believe when players say Fifita adds to the team but not when they say it about Chad...

I also think it will help a little for the left side half to have a “normal” back rower in there. As good as Wade is, he doesn’t play a style that halves would be immediately comfortable with. In 2018 I thought Moylan’s best games at 6 were the ones Wade missed, and I thought in 2019 other than the amazing 20 against Parra, the whole left edge was very clunky for a while whenever Wade came back in.

Totally agree. Wade is constantly being used as an extra half out there rather than running lines. Our first half against the Knights was inneffective mostly due to that edge not working well. Chad was acting like a 7 to Wade's 6, and they were disorganised and gave themselves little space to work.

I’m sure Chad directs the team around the field... it’s his job. I think what Fifita brings to the boys is different to what Chad brings...

[MMsharks]

not many yes. I was also thinking over the years too
but when we need to & are expected to put a number on someone we don't.

then again depends on what team turns up this week. hope they're switched on for this week.

Great To see. He's not done yet. Let him loose. Gave me one of the best moments of my life, right in front of us at the ground in '16. Let him rip on Sat, in the run on team and Give him Captcy.Love the bloke,think he's misunderstood by many.

Tell him his Mum's a rig 5 minutes before game time.

 

[sharkboy18]

Is SJ going to be fit for this any idea?

Why are the Knights a **** team? They've been above us most of the year.

Sorensen is currently the second best left edge back rower in the team (after Wade).

... but Wilton will be playing that spot long term.

I’d start with Wilton but would keep Soro in the 17 somewhere. I think he’s been decent in the middle, and it doesn’t hurt to have a competent edge player on the bench for injury cover. Defence could be an issue though - depends if we want two rookies defending side by side.

I also think it will help a little for the left side half to have a “normal” back rower in there. As good as Wade is, he doesn’t play a style that halves would be immediately comfortable with. In 2018 I thought Moylan’s best games at 6 were the ones Wade missed, and I thought in 2019 other than the amazing 20 against Parra, the whole left edge was very clunky for a while whenever Wade came back in.

Sorensen’s been good defensively all year and his best position as you say is left edge, so not picking him this week would be over complicating the team for no reason.

Aren’t we talking about playing teams back into form?
