[Bazal]

I pick Des Hasler, Geoff Toovey, Jim Dymock, Michael McGuire and Brian Smith.

 

[Gronk]

Is French available?

BA said in the presser that French and Evans should be right.

Avaaaa’a looked dusty so I recon he will be out.

If Auva'a is out then I wonder if Davis is next pick.

 

[Gronk]

Should could ffs

 

[Noise]

If Auva'a is out then I wonder if Davis is next pick.

From what I saw of Wenty today he was bad.

 

[Jake the snake]

From what I saw of Wenty today he was bad.

Yeah he’s shit

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

From what I saw of Wenty today he was bad.

Niukore/Gower just missing out.

You dropping Manu totally?

 

[emjaycee]

Interesting comment from BA in the presser "if individuals don't fix their discipline, they will be dropped".

This was just after his comment about being offside in the first set against Manly when we kicked it (was it Evans?). I wonder if he is as hesitant to drop merkins as some people on here think.

Dropping Manu totally?

Thinking it's time for some generational change, I still think BA can turn the ship around. But going forward I think it's almost time for Niukore and potentially Stone (probably can't as he is on a development contract but we do have a top 30 spot available) to move into the top 17 for Scott/Manu.

Scott is obviously off contract and unlikely to stay and while Manu is going ok, he has peaked and we need some change on the edge, its to predictable.
