Was honestly thinking the same after such a high profile disasterclass, we will find out what sort of coach fitzgibbon is if he holds his nerve and ignores the outside pressure

Hope he takes a page out of Paytens book and sticks to his guns

Talakai is a way better centre than Tracey and if you leave him there he will tear it up, of that I’ve no doubt

Coates vs Knights has to be at least a chance.

Talakai was swarmed every time he got the ball starting from his 1st carry. He still had a few powerful runs but the majority were tough sledding especially coming out of their own end which has normally been a strength for the sharks back 5. He started seeking softer defence in Reynolds/walters to try and get on the front foot rather than aggressively taking what was in front of him.

With 20 mins to go he was completely out of gas. There was 1 play where he was 15m behind the play and the sharks would have had an easy overlap if he was still running. Other times the shape was awful and I had most of that as a function of looking at him and Kennedy ambling along.

This looked like a deliberate Broncos tactic. The vast majority of kicks were aimed deep into Mulitano’s corner.  Talakai would take the first hit up - and the Broncos looked like they were ready for it and had 3/4 in the tackle to work him over and sap his energy.

Mann > McGuire
Nanai > Hastings

Not the worst option. I just didn't think he was much of a second rower. Didn't see last weeks game did he look good there? Looks like he's played 10 or so games at 2rf over his career but my concern would be he doesn't last in that role? Kerr, Fui, Gosi could all slot in instead

Just fishing around for ideas mate. I’m not overly sold on Tevaga which is the obvious MID to grab for Mann if I decide to trade him this week

Yeah must say I'm going a little bit colder on Jazz, looking back to the end of last year Sironen was preferred to him at lock which just gives me a bit of doubt. They have other options at edge if they did want to move Sironen into lock. But I'll probably take the risk.

What about Cheese?

Same with Fifita last week

Short term and in fits, they will have their way in attack. Can guarantee you Fifita would have attacking games like Talakai did last week playing in the centres

Can also guarantee you they will be made to look stupid defending in the extra space the centre provides equally as much.
