Has anyone thought of what happens if Brissy lose this week? Sharks and Tigers go into the game knowing a draw sees them both play finals. Would Gal and Benji make a deal at the coin toss? Intriguing stuff.

And on flipping a coin, I say the same for the result. No idea who wins. We're the better team on paper but have been saying that all year. I'm considering a media blackout until fulltime just to save my heart.

moyza set to be named and should be right to play, but i have been told sj is next to no chance of playing this weekend

So do we keep Duges at FB and put Moyza in at 6 or keep Flanju at 6, Moyza back to FB, Duges to right centre and Morris to left wing, dropping Katoa?

Here are the backline scenarios:

Moylan
Morris
Xerri
Dugan
Mulitano
Flanagan
Townsend

or

Dugan
Katoa
Xerri
Morris
Mulitano
Moylan
Townsend

What's the best lineup?

Chad and Kyle can string passes together for Moylan and Graham to create tries from, I think Moyza at FB is the best option. Halves aren't much to shout about but backline is very dangerous.
Moylan could always have a no catch game and butcher us though.

At this stage I think he'd be a liability defending in the front line, he's coming back from injury and out of practice.
Not to mention he had Lewy helping him last year, this game it would be Nikora.

Surely Feki plays, Dugan FB, Morris Centre, Moylan at Bench:yawn: for the undoubted game day injury, in a last gasp game. Load up with Forwards otherwise.

I wanted Moylan at fullback earlier in the year but I don’t think his recent form justifies it. Dugan has been far more reliable in kick returns etc.

I’d probably chuck Moylan to 5/8 because less of his weaknesses are exposed there. He might be able to play fullback again next year with an off-season, a clear head and (hopefully) a fit body.

Flanno stays at half, Moylan to fullback, duges to score 3 tries from centre.

IMO Moylan isn't in the kind of form to bring him back into the spine for what is likely our last game. I'd go with the 17 that played last week if they are fit.

Yeh he is hit and miss.

I'm not sure he is worth the gamble in a mist win game.

Put Dugan back there, you know what you get with him.

It's a must win game but there's also little strategic value in getting him back and giving him time to find form again. There's no time to do it.

Guessing the coach will assess his body language before even considering giving him a game. If he's really super keen on playing you'd consider it. He'd have to be really pumped up. If he isn't it's a hard pass. Give him the rest of the year off and focus on next year.

Same team as last week, Chad and Flanju to practice goal kicking all week, Chad to wear gloves that give him extra grip on the ball, Woods to have a carrot on a stick over his head so he might actually run and try to tackle runaway opposition.

Woods seems like more a of bigmac person than a carrot person
