    We can always start with Tony at 9.

    We have a better 17 with the Dobson.Vatuvei swap, IMO.

    Not at all.

    Fien is a better halfback than Dobson and while Withers is a downgrade to Fien in the 9, all in all we have a better starting 17. Our depth isn't as good, but if we get lucky with injuries than it will work out to be a great trade.

    Dobson > Fien IMO

    As a half.

    I'd disagree. The fact that we weren't even sure if Dobson was gonna play firsts says enough for me.

    Gemmell, you traded your first-choice halfback away for a winger who has feet for hands. No matter how much you try and defend that, it was a bad trade.

    I think the best course of action would be leaving Fien as the primary organiser for the entire game, but moving him into hooker for 25 minutes or so when Tony comes on for Withers. Tony could play in the halves but not organise. Primary organisers playing hooker split your sides 50/50 so it'll spoil any balance you have there but it's probably still for the best as Tony probably shouldn't play hooker and neither him nor Campese should be organising.

    Our first-choice halfback was our 12th round pick. He was never gonna be world class.


    IMO,
    2. Vatuvei
    7. Fien
    9. Withers
    14. Tony

    >>>>>

    2. Milne
    7. Dobson
    9. Fien
    14. Withers

    Well, 12th round pick >>>>> any wingers.

    And I definitely think that bottom team is better tbh.

    And I definitely think the top team is better. The beauty of opinions.

    Too bad your opinion doesn't determine the quality of the CPL sides.

    I'll trade ya Brad Davis in a trade to help ya's out if ya want, would throw in Civo too if I got me Gallen.

  19. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Don't want Brad Davis, and we aren't trading Gallen.

    The squad doesn't need help, IMO.

    And I'm not gonna pick our squad on who I think Cribb rates, I've made picks that I think are good players or if they are needed in the side.
