In theory, Wingard should come in. In theory.

6 day break, so a possibility General Soreness will perform an inspection. Looking in the Reeves direction here. If he is on parade, I wouldn't be opposed to swapping in Ramma.
 
No point making younger blokes the scapegoats so if we are going to drop a few, I would go

Frost (out) Grainger Barras (in)
Impey (out) Mitchell (in)

One ruck to be dropped for Ramsden

No more tagging short term as it defeats the point of only doing it for half a game

Maginness (out) Butler (in)

We simply cannot go in with no small pressure forwards.

Out: Finn, Impey, Frost, Kossie
In: Brockman, Scrimshaw, Ramsden, Morrison
 
Impey, frost, bramble, cj - theirs our problem. Scrimshaw and dgb should be in. Feel for Sicily his got * all support - on top of changing our backline coach for simpson either we are tanking or we have just found a new way to loose all ability for the kids to grow in confidence

Cj is a lot better then what he is showing but it looks like his come back and forgot where to run or how to defend real bizzare.

Kosi well the less said the better
I don't feel for Sicily - He is too loose on his opponent.
 
I don't think we are at a stage where it is worth having a tag so Finn would go out. There just doesn't seem to be a justifiable reason to tag when we are not up to scratch and being dominated all over the ground. Throw down the challenge to those selected to match it with their direct opponent.

Morrison, Scrim, DGB, Long and Brockman all put their hands up. Ramsden has got to be in serious consideration for Kosi.
 
Morrison in for Bramble.
Ramsden comes in and plays forward.
Brockman for Finn if he's not going to be used to tag.
Don't mind this.

Would like Morris in for Bramble as we need defenders who can actually defend and not lose one-on-ones so badly. But he's still injured.

Did Morrison do enough at BHH. Looks like 12 disposals, no marks, no tackles. Did he get full game time minutes?

We're a young, inexperienced side. We're not going to fix problems by replacing many senior players with more kids. It might just make the losses more comfortable to live with.

I'm glad the effort lifted this week, but we need players who work harder defensively.
 
North shouldn’t be able to hurt us on the turnover as much as swans and *.

But if we continue to give as much space as we have they will still score heavily. Need to tighten up defensively to have a chance. (I feel this might be a common theme for each game)
 
We need to get a guide on the following players;
Nash
Maginess
Long
Stephens

We know what 2 can offer it time to find out about the other 2.
There will only room for 2 going forward in the rebuilding process.
 
In: Forward half pressure. Butler must start. Play brockman too. If you can't find a spot for DGB in the 22 after being embarrassed by inside 50 contested marking, no idea then.

Out: Two rucks. Neither offer anything forward.
