Can we just get back to basics? Starting with stopping playing players out of position.

Seems we always lose these game at the selection table, by bringing the wrong players in, playing them out of position, making the wrong player sub, subbing the wrong player out...

SOS forward

Kemp back

Doc back

Ollie to wing

I'm 50/50 on Williams. Keep him forward for now.

Campo shouldn't have been subbed out, Doc should've. And it should've happened late in the 3rd.

We need an accumulator and level headed general down back with Newman out, so Doc simply HAS to play there.

Give him a couple of weeks back in his natural position to see if his form comes back.

Bringing Young in for Harry was quite simply stupid. No other way to say it. If he was brought in to give TDK a chop out in the ruck, he only took 7 ruck contests, to TDK's MASSIVE 97! I think that proves he can pretty much do it alone. Just chuck a couple of other bodies at it when he needs a rest. I'm not a big fan of Cripps rucking, but I'd rather him take the 7 that Young took and let SOS and Harry pick up the rest of the slack. Let Gov or Kemp take a few in D50. That's 5 players who could take half a dozen each to lighten the load. Should have brought Moir or Evans in.

Playing Weiters, Gov, Haynes and Young against Chol and a bunch of smalls was insane. We had the chance to correct it with Harry missing and went the opposite way.

OUT: Young and Haynes

In: Harry and Moir (interchangeable with Evans, but I'd like to see Moir get a crack again)

Lucky: Doc, Hollands (these two get a crack at their proper positions before getting dropped), Curnow (needed the run), Lord (despite only having 3 touches in the 4th, I thought he did some good things. Not his fault he wasn't brought on sooner).
