De Koning would have got slaughtered by Witts.
Maybe we should have played McKay forward and Levi in the ruck, but we still would have conceded the ruck.
Doc and Gibbs are massive and you can't replace them straight away.
The players selected got enough of the ball. We won the possession count and the inside 50's
Our ball movement inside 50 and our forward lines lack of movement where horrid today.
Thats what I would have done......Mckay forward rotating with Casboult to at least make Witts run and work harder, yep Witts would still win overall but at least C, Curnow might have had some help
up forward. Poulsen was a ridiculous selection IMO and gave us nothing, rather play Graham and get Cripps to play forward more, I just didnt understand our tactics at all even with limited tall timber...
Agree on Docherty and Gibbs......its hurting us, players like Dow will take time and the JLT series is no substitute for real games
