goodluck luke if you get your callup, make the most of it as your games seem to be few and far apart... we sharks wish you all the best

In fact, why bother with a bench at all? Lets just take them on, 13 vs 17! I mean to say, the wins have been coming a bit easily lately, its time to challenge the players a bit so we can get the best out of them. You know?

You know, I think you are on to something, the wins have been coming to easy (against us).
We have won one game though, any guesses how many players we used?

You have solved the puzzle, gw mate!

Haha good point.

The win against the Eels, that was the game Covell was injured quite early and we didn't use Cuthbertson. So I guess we sort of played the game with 15 guys and one of our 80 minute back rowers was playing in the centres.

Haha yeah good point. So let's look at the quoted figures.



we have used 1 5/8 ( barrett )
we have used 3 2nd rowers ( gallen milo tupou )

So four of our positions haven't changed. That's good.

we have used 3 hookers ( flano aiton morris )
we have used 3 halfbacks ( smith morris porter )

You're counting Morris' positional change twice.

we have used 5 props ( douglas snowden cuthbo cordoba vave )

OH NO! 5 props!!!

Only real problems are that we've dicked around with Albert Kelly at fullback and that we've had an injury to Covell and Collis.

im not saying 5 props is a problem

3 halfbacks
3 hookers
and 5 centers is tho

i just quoted the whole team.

my point is that harlen has played 7 games in 4 years and i recon a nyc player would get more benifit out of playing this game

harlen isnt a long term option, but the nyc is the future so why not give some of them the odd game here and there

and the opposing opinion is that we should play our best 17 rather than worry about who will benefit most, better to win or be compeditive than get smashed so some young bloke can get knocked around a year before he is ready.
I understand where you are coming from, I just don't think you are right.
