Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 6 Vs Giants 2021
Fingers crossed Mumford misses. I know we can probably exploit his lack of mobility, but he's a one man wrecking ball on field and is odds on to injure one of our blokes. Hickey is out for 6-8 after the big lug knocked into his knee.

Mumford's a malevolent turd but I'd be equally comfortable sending either ruck in against him.
Stef's no shrinking violet and well and truly wise to Mumford's schtick - and while a greenhorn he may be, Sweet will gladly return serve if the lumbering shithead gets bolshy and he will, nothing surer than them trying it on again.

Yeah I don't think there's anything that can be done about Mumford being a douche, and to be honest we just have to take it up to him and try and make him feel some pain and make him look like a dick by being better than he is whilst he acts accordingly.
He doesn't have long left in the competition, let's help in making his remaining days as miserable and sorry as they possibly can be.

Mumford might be a thug but that doesn’t change that he’s been really very good in their last two games.
Everything that Cameron has said for the last two weeks suggests he won’t play against us so its all moot, but I’m hoping he doesn’t regardless.

Where is JJ at - has he done enough to keep his spot?
For mine he seems to be floating and not impacting the game in the way he should with his skill set.

It's a good question, and I don't think it's easily answered as we've played two ordinary teams and one good team each for modest returns in terms of touches by sheet and influence to the eye.
He's not really our go to out of defence anymore which is what generated a lot of his output in previous years. However, while teams have learned to try and stifle Daniel already they'll soon be looking to put the clamps on Dale, and this is where I think we'll need JJ to generate some run and carry out of defence, particularly as Williams is out.
I'd leave him in until Williams comes back, and hope that he starts to generate a bit more in the coming weeks.

Nice analysis Jee. You raise some good points on we may need him to help with run if Daniel and Dale are clamped down.
We tried tough love with him early on by not playing him. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him out of the team again in the coming weeks.

It's very much a possibility. We don't know what his non-negotiables and targets are, how he's being assessed week to week.
I thought he was decisive with a few of his touches and there was one exceptional hit to Dale from half back where he knew body contact was coming but didn't squib and was laid out post getting the pinpoint kick away that impressed me, and made me think that's not something I'd be confident in him doing prior to it actually happening on the day. Things like that are what the coaching staff might be looking for in addition to work rate and touches.

Gee it’d be nice if our opponents forward lines needed to proactively clamp down Daniel, Dale and Williams.
It’ll be interesting to see if Daniel becomes our get out of jail card again this week with Williams out. Williams has definitely taken that mantle this year and it seems to have changed Daniels role a little - putting him slightly higher in the D50.

Lot of punters reckon Mummy will be rested this week and they'll bring in the new kid ruck, could be good for us.

I actually think JJ could be valuable as a quick forwardline pressure player. His kicking to a leading forward is beautiful at times and he knows our system well enough to be thrown anywhere if need be.
We played Ed Richards in that role for long stretches last season and JJ has shown that in the same role he can stay involved in the game for longer periods.

Flynn isn't a bad ruck, but the plan was for Mummy to play 1-2 games then rest. He's just played 2 so is more likely than not to be rested.

If they do go back to the Mummy well for a third week hopefully a fresh Stef can run the old lug around.

Giants have confirmed Flynn will be playing this week so looking likely that Mumford will be rested. Good for us.
