Re: 2019 Rd 22 V Storm: Teams and Previews
Yeah I can’t see much point in having Havilii on the bench either
Re: 2019 Rd 22 V Storm: Teams and Previews
As I said in the other thread. I think the most important thing is having one of Tapine and Papalii on the field the whole game.
That middle period of the game where we have Hors, Sutton and Lui on kills us imo.
Funnily enough while Melbourne are supposedly the benchmark I’m more confident of wining this game than I was of beating the Roosters yesterday.

I didn’t watch the press conferences, is Croker expected to pull up ok after the head knock? He didn’t seem knock out but it was a fairly solid head slam.
Re: 2019 Rd 22 V Storm: Teams and Previews
I hope you're right. We'll have to be a whole lot smarter than we were against the Roosters.

Re: 2019 Rd 22 V Storm: Teams and Previews
This team would probably be the logical choice but to be honest I like Young as a bench option. Not sure who I'd squeeze out but his ability to play second row gives us some versatility in our options. I'd be keeping the two best of Lui/Horsburgh/Sutton and giving Young the third spot. And I'm a fan of Simonsson on the interchange, I also think we'll see it happen with Leilua back at centre.zim wrote: ↑August 11, 2019, 11:38 pm 1. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad

Soliola has been great lately, but I just feel we lose too much when he and Paps go off, like Jules has been banging on about. This way we hopefully don't lose momentum when Sia replaces Paps, and Lui can switch with Sutton. Soliola doesn't need to do big minutes, just hold the momentum until Paps comes back on, and I feel Paps has been staying off for too long in games, he has a big motor, he should be using it.
Finally, I'd like to see Simonsson come onto the game in about the 60th minute into a roving lock-type position like was originally intended earlier in the season against Manly before Rapana got injured. To that end, I've swapped Tapine and Bateman, as they can probably both go the full game if they need to in those positions. Otherwise you spell Tapine and move Bateman to the edge and bring Simo into the middle. Barring that plan, I'd play Hudson Young off the bench.

Re: 2019 Rd 22 V Storm: Teams and Previews
I like this team too, I think if you were going down the Tapine at second row and Bateman at lock route then it makes a bigger case for Young on the interchange. I don't think we'd need three middles and in the case of your team I'd switch Havili out for him.The Rickman wrote: ↑August 12, 2019, 10:01 am 1. CNK

Re: 2019 Rd 22 V Storm: Teams and Previews
I like that team. I like the idea of trialing Tapine on an edge before the finals. If that switch means both him and Bateman play 80 it’s a positive imo.
well, I guess you could say that I'm buy curious.

Re: 2019 Rd 22 V Storm: Teams and Previews
Havili definitely has a place in the team. If Simonsson is on the bench, you still have three running forwards with Havili there, but you also have hooker cover in the case that the unexpected happens, which could be critical in a big game.
And they're all big games from here.

Canberra Raiders forward Elliott Whitehead charged with dangerous contact by match review committee
The Match Review Committee has cited Elliott with a grade one dangerous contact charge for a 28th-minute incident involving Roosters centre Joseph Manu. He will be free to play with an early guilty plea, but will miss a match if he challenges and loses. The charge comes with 100 base points and he will have 75 carry over points with an early guilty plea. There are no loadings.

Winless against top-four rivals but resolve still strong, says Canberra Raiders forward Ryan Sutton
Ryan Sutton is adamant the Raiders are not discouraged by their lack of success against the rest of the NRL's heavyweights in the wake of Sunday's four-point loss to the Sydney Roosters.
"We're not happy because we didn't get the result we wanted but at the same time we've can take a lot of positives out of it because that's the pacing and style of semi-finals football.

I again know that we won't fight it. But I really hope that he does. This was a BS report and not worth a week. We should be at full strength on the weekend so can possibly cover. I just don't like the 75 carry over points heading into the finals, any slip up and it could cost him a final.

This is the makeup of the team i was discussing last week on a couple of threads. I also mentioned it on GH Live after the Chooks game.The Rickman wrote: ↑August 12, 2019, 10:32 am Havili definitely has a place in the team.

And they're all big games from here.
We have big min middles avaliable to us ATM - Papa, Tapine, Sutton, Lui and Sia. All these guys can play 50mins, and I reckon the first 3 can pump out 60 if required.
We are currently running Havili at 25mins or less. Pretty sure he only got less than 10min on the weekend. We need to stop thinking of him as a backup 9, and more of a running middle forward. We need to use him like Brandon Smith, and thats as an impact middle. My only worry here is that his minutes have totally dried up, and so match fitness is an issue. It also might be Rickys out as a utility for utility swap, not that thats the way Id go.
Our 5th middle, who has been Horse/ Young/ Guler most of the yr, is also playing 35mins or less. Sutton got these mins on the weekend, but it was approx 25mins. TBF, he was returning from a 3wk injury though.
So, we have 2 benchies who are playing very limited mins anyway. No reason why we cant look at the safety 1st bench setup, which, TBH, is the way the Storm are currently looking at their setup; HIA/ injury proof.
IMO Ricky is taking the Bellyache approach of getting his starting 13 to do the lions share of the work, and have 1 or 2 benchies that really only relieve his props. Look at the way he uses his full strength team, only BSmith and Welch were getting regular minutes. In recent times Papanhuysen has seen increased mins off the bench, but that has meant less for the others, and thats because he has been too good not to find a spot for.
I am aware that Havili isnt BSmith.
I am aware that Simmonson/ Leilua arent Papanhuysen.
Doesnt meant we cant look at their roles and think, yep, we can do that too.
I think had we had BJ on the bench on the weekend, coming on with 10-15 to go, which was just after we scored that try, and had him in a roving lock role, I think he would have created more headaches for the Chooks. He also has that solo effort game breaking ability. In the long run we will want him at centre, and Im proposing Simmo gets this role. With 2 fullback types (Simmo and CNK) sniffing around for offloads and broken play, or a dummyhalf scoot in the middle of a set, we have an added attacking dimension, and allows Hodgo to focus on his chief playmaking role.

Re: 2019 Rd 22 V Storm: Teams and Previews
I agree with what you're saying Matty, however I wouldn't have Simonssen on the bench instead of Havili. I'd have both, then you're covered for all bases and Havili can easily fill a running forward slot.

Our bench was fine in this game. It was all about our errors and pens. Once the interchanges happened we had a run of 5 roosters penalties with only one coming from a bench player and all the errors were from our 80min players.

Re: 2019 Rd 22 V Storm: Teams and Previews
My only concern with BJ being introduced into the starting side this week is that if ever there were a team capable of exploiting the space on the edges created by a player lacking match fitness and structural cohesion - it's the Storm.
That being said, BJ can create his own opportunities too, which is something we need going into the finals..
I think the bench should remain the same.
Havilli has to play.
I think Simonsson misses....in fairness, I thought he outplayed Cotric who IMO played poorly against the Roosters...

Re: 2019 Rd 22 V Storm: Teams and Previews
I hope Whitehead contests the charge because the 75 carry-over points could be an issue in the finals. With Tapine back and the option of bringing in either Young or Havilii, we can cover for him if it goes wrong even though we're talking Storm and Manly.
People can forget about playing Tapine on the edge at 2nd row. An article on the weekend made it clear that he sees himself playing lock for the foreseeable future.
I can see Ricky bringing Leilua back just because Cotric and Rapana had very little chemistry.
1. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad
2. Nic Cotric (I'm sure Ricky will talk to him about that bonehead double movement. Did okay after three weeks out. Bailey Simonsson will be unlucky to miss out).
3. Jarrod Croker (assuming he passes concussion tests).
4. BJ Leilua. (Otherwise, it will Cotric in the centres again and Simonsson getting the reprieve).
5. Jordan Rapana
6. Jack Wighton
7. Aidan Sezer. (Another subdued game and we'll be back on the forum about him versus Williams <sigh>).

Interesting thoughts on Whitehead contesting the charge Yuri. I’m with you - there wasn’t much in it and I think we should seriously consider rolling the dice to wipe out the carryover points. If it all goes bad he would be a big out against the Storm, but could probably use the rest and can go into finals without the carryovers. I say contest it!

Canberra Raiders star Jordan Rapana says renewed Joey Leilua 'back early for a reason'

Jack Wighton to play his 150th match in green against the Storm
Canberra five-eighth Jack Wighton will play his 150th NRL game when the Raiders take on the rugby league powerhouse based a stone's throw from Australian sport's mecca. And everyone can be sure about this milestone - because they certainly weren't when Wighton brought up his ton.

It's clear to me also that the loss was all PJ's fault, Azza.

Sutton is a bit of plodder with the ball in hand.
I probably prefer him to have less minutes and havili more even if he is just played as a middle.

We need an option on the bench to call in to spark some attack when we are flat. Sam our best option for this.
We lose our grit in the middle when Papa comes off, so we need Tapine to come in then
