Official Nene Macdonald

[egg]

Ronnie was named to start but didn't pass final fitness test, odds are if he gets that close he is good for this week and definitely deserves to push out Nene (different story if Nene had actually gone well).
Wonder if we will see Ronnie on the right and Katoa back to the left though.

Nene struggled but was also stitched up by his centre struggling, his second rower struggling and the half losing the plot (presumably to try and cover for the others but ended up as the worst defender of the lot)

Put Ronnie at left Centre - Newtown Grand final team last year
Put Nene on that wing again

Big, strong, fast and lethal in the air

Cheers. Running over the top of SKD was a good highlight.

might find himself in 1st grade next week - where do you play him ?

 

[Jaz]

Can he play centre if Dugan's still out?

In his favourite position .
Left wing , Ronnie to centre

Or do you leave Talakai at centre. Or give Ferris a run.

Just feel Ronnie could rip it apart from centre .
Fast , mobile , hard running , yet evasive .
If Wade and Kennedy assist him in his defencive positioning .
He wouldn't let us down .
Goodwin is tragic at Centre.
Maybe Ferris if available IS a sensible choice too .
Talakai a bit more risky , he offers a lot playing his present role too .
Gunna be a GREAT Podcast this week Tigs

is this bloke an option at centre if ramien is out next week?

 

[bort]

is this bloke an option at centre if ramien is out next week?

**** I hope not

I'd push Ronnie in before starting Nene at centre

 

[Super Impose]

Surely has more to offer than Goodwin ..

 

[Gumby]

my thoughts too

 

[Sparkles]

Goodwin has been a traffic cone in defence. Would be willing to see just about any other option tried

 

[Gumby]

yep. i want talikai in the forwards but at this stage he looks the best option to play out there.

 

[snowman]

**** I hope not

cant agree

id put the guy who has experience in as a centre rather than chuck in more changes against a team we should dust up

 

[The Punisher]

yep. i want talikai in the forwards but at this stage he looks the best option to play out there.

Would you not be tempted to play Nikora in the centres and keep Talaki @ 2nd row?

 

[Proud Shark]

yep. i want talikai in the forwards but at this stage he looks the best option to play out there.

Talakai at centre takes away one of our biggest strengths though. I'd prefer nene

 

[CHOGM]

Should play this game. The perfect game to settle in and shake off the **** he offered against the Panthers.

 

[Gumby]

If Ramien is out this guy comes in imo.
Goodwin can not play centre for us ever again.

How’s this bloke been going? Hasn’t been named in any of our squads ect. Is he injured?

Has been in plenty of training photos. He's probably just not being picked because he's well down the list.
