Re: RD 18 : Blues Scorch Suns (Post-Siren Sunburn)

Rowe was very unconvincing today.
He has no second effort, and if not on his terms, sometimes even no first effort.
Can take a mark when he wants, but he is a bit too stand offish for mine.
Bottom line....
If Warnock's fit and available Rowe doesn't play.
Not for me...I'm still sticking with Rowe, we need a second ruckman but one who can take a mark and give us some options....Warnock is still a lampost who can only play ruck.
Rowe wasnt great today, didnt take enough marks or get involved enough but i think we have to get away from rotating our KP/rucks when they have a ordinary game or two.
You have to build confidence to build a structure and I think Rowe has to be educated and given a chance to settle.......if you did drop Rowe then I reckon it has to be Casboult who comes in...at least he can play more than one position. I dont see Warnock as an option unless Kruezer gets hurt.
re: Waite...happy to have him back in the team but he isnt a ruckman and you still need a backup for Kruezer wether it be Rowe or Casboult.
Totally agree. You'd reckon if Meat puts in a good one tomorrow for the NBs, he'll come in for Rowe. I would also persist with Rowe. Sheesh, his body would still be recovering after that few months of chemo last year - that stuff devastates the human body. But after today's game he might need a rest/learn more in the Magoos.
Curnow is blossoming under MM. Disciplined games from Walker and Yazz.
Hendo is rapidly cementing himself as not only a very good tall forward but also as a leader.
Good effort considering neither Juddy or Murph was 'dominant'... both were good and did their job but we didn't rely on both or either to be the difference.
Cachia did more in one quarter of footy than Lucas in three. Question marks over Lucas' hardness rise again - one hit from Brown and he went to water and became the invisible man.
The old bloke shone (Scotto).
Was it my imagination or did Carrots look a little slow/off/not quite right?
