Hopefully Taylor, Hoy and Sutcliffe are back, I don't like Scott on the wing so if Swift is out I'd play Litten there.

Thought Scott was our best player yesterday, runs strongly so I'd have him in place of Lovodua.

I don't think McNamara at hooker is working, passing isn't great and offers little running threat.

I'd go with

Hoy
Litten/Swift
Sutcliffe
Carlos
Mcintosh
Trueman
Clifford
Sao
Houghton
Fash
Scott
Savelio
Cator

Taylor/Brown
Dywer (I'd have Balmforth but can't see that)
Lane
Satae

I’d stick with Macca instead of Dwyer, don’t think he done anything wrong. Cats dominated the ruck yesterday but when he could he sped up the passing from halfback. Gets a lot of bad press even when he doesn’t play.

Worth watching the game again, gave out a couple of shocking passes from acting halfback. Seems a decent kid and he must show something at training, but I've never seen it. Don't think he is SL quality just yet. Think he could do with a spell playing hooker or halfback in the championship.

Clifford put out a couple of shocking passes, think one was Lover couldn’t take it and one that went high to the wing. Think they were forcing the game by then.

Agreed.
The knock-on that Joe was getting called for on another thread was a pants ball from JakeCliff.
Got some boot on him though.
Enjoyed the 40/20 and some of his kick restarts had some right action on them.

It wasn't a great pass, but a SL player should have taken it IMO.

I think has earnt that he can make a few mistakes, he still did some very good things too.

I don’t think there was a problem with the knock on. The problem was his putting his head down & just walking after Davies instead of trying to catch him. He wouldn’t have caught him but you’ve still got to put some effort in after an error.

He was injured, that's why he was stuck out wide on the wing.
