I'd like to work Teakle in to ease both ruck and forward lines but struggle on who to drop.

Most underperformers are probably better served with continuity or have nobody demanding their spot.

I also like Logue but his output to date seems based more on perception than reality. Pink owns the spot right now as far as I'm concerned.

Phillips or Stephens probably the ones I'd drop if had to for Teakle.
 
No, not to replace Darling. Just need to find a way to fit both in the side.
welcome to the 3 talls structure bandwagon

hopefully we see it back this week

i want darling and larkey always in the forward line as targets not having to ruck around ground
 
It looked quite early that he started struggling though
One of the differences in our scoreline yesterday was RHJ's usual contribution. He struggled but replacing him removes that contribution from the start instead of giving him the opportunity to overcome a poor game and do what he normally does.

I'd give him another week, or more likely two before I dropped him, and if he returns to his usual output in those games he stays in the side obviously. He links up between the flanks and the forwards and really contributes to our improved transition when he plays well and we don't really have a replacement at the moment. Stephens ain't it.

RHJ is the obvious one, subbed out, looked a mile off it

bring in the tall forward ruck for the small.

then you sub teakle out at 3 quarter time and bring on a runner for the last quarter
 
Having watched Darling completely gassed on occasions yesterday, I can definitely understand Nostradamus’ rationale for bringing in Teakle. I think Stephens would have to make way. RHJ might make a good sub, in the tradition of Flash all those years ago. The sub needs to be a bit of an injection for the team. We seem to just bring in one-paced marathon runners. It defeats the purpose, IMO.

Secondary ruck rotations are manageable and allows Darling to get around the ball. It is more of a question if we want a proper third tall to add to the structure. If we want a third tall that is primarily a forward, then we may as well go with Maley as Zurhaar can’t do it. A fairly average Ned Reeves absolutely flogged Teakle on the weekend, and Teaks made a lot of bad costly decisions across the past two weeks. Maley competes far harder, offers a genuine secondary contested marking tall (which Teakle isn’t) and has arguably better foot skills than Teaks.
 
I'll be surprised is there's any unforced changes this week - the group they have been working on for months will be given the opportunity to bounce back. Maybe some internal changes to the structure - eg Sheezel at HBF - but the same personnel will likely get the chance to make amends.

But after that .... Phillips on shaky ground, and maybe Tucker

RHJ for me..

Teakle or Mayley for RHJ ...otherwise side unchanged.

Out Tucker. In Logie.
Play sheezel in tuckers role. Put Logie forward. Give sus better structure when darling is ruck. Parker / Simpkin take sheesels mid minutes.

Need to use the ball better forward of centre. Sometimes we extract the ball out and hit a target, sometimes we just bomb it long.

Need to make it easier for ourselves.
