R17: Nix versus CCM

[kevrenor]

OK, time to move on.

Great to see Garcia is going to travel.

Nix are hurting from recent games .. hopefully we can continue the pain.

 

[true believer]

definite dirt fest

 

[Big Al]

No Ashcroft 5th yellow
No Monty Red Card

No Durante 5th yellow

I'd put Uskok in for Ashcroft and McGing for Monty.

Give Garcia another 30mins. It's an away game no need to over do it.

Bingham to sub on with Garcia again or go with him from the start? I'd stay as was last week

 

[dibo]

Bingham to start.

Bray
Roux Uskok Posco J.Rose
McGing
Neill Stella
Fab Bingham Austin​

Work hard and scare the shit out of them, and *then* bring on Garcia.

 

[VicMariner]

Must win.
Nix are one of three teams above us on 16 points. We have to get wins over these guys to avoid the spoon.

Bingham to start. new bloke was woeful

 

[true believer]

he looked like he hadn't played for 2 years . he could be real good after getting some match fitness.
with our current game plan bingham is definately better starting .
I think bingas is growing as a player and could be a real good .
but I like some of the things flech did . he got a corner in the 2nd half that was top shelf

 

[Timmah]

Hope the CHCH pitch isn't like the one at North Harbour that Nix played Victory on last month...

I thought Fletcher was good in his debut.
He was a bit under done on fitness but for a guy that hadn`t played for a while he did ok.
Another few weeks & Paddy will be fighting for a spot up front.

I just hope the referee & his assistants do their jobs.
Last week was woeful again.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Fletcher is going to be the new John Sutton.

Bingers must start.

 

[sydmariner]

Fletcher is going to be the new John Sutton.

So then he'll win us the premiers plate.

Predict Garcia will start and get 55-60. Looks like he can manage it to me.

I don't think it is wise to start him. He was walking around a lot in defence last week conserving energy. I think its best to start the guys that can run all day then bring him on to tear the Nux apart.

I'd like to see him start, but have to agree with you that it's not possible at the moment. I'm not sure if it's wise to bring him on with half an hour gone either.
Probably half time or half an hour to go at the moment.

Although if he's being paid that much he should play from the start and just come over to the sideline and sit down for five minutes while he's getting his breath back.
After all we are used to playing with ten men.

He was doing the soft-press - jog in the right spot, occupy space, block passing avenues. He also made a sliding challenge at one point, did he not?

I'm not saying he wasn't effective but to expect him to do 45+ mins at the start of a game when the opposition is at full speed and also after a longish flight is a bit risky. I don't think he will keep up yet and may risk injury. I'd give him another 30mins at the end. Next week I think he will have enough to start.

 

[Timmah]

I wouldn't be comfortable seeing him start just yet but I see no reason he couldn't come on at HT depending how the game is travelling and how Stella is managing the midfield.

I hope Bingham gets the nod ahead of Fletcher this week, but who knows.

I thought fletcher was carrying a few kgs. Not fully fit yet looks like. Did well to get through what he did i reckon

Fletch hasn't played in over a year. I'm sure he will come good, needs game time. I'd like to see him coming off the bench for now though, not starting.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Garcia on at 60 mins

Rosey back to LB and Neill back to CM?

Bingers to start in place of Sutton 2.0
