Rd 17 Vs Panthers

[Tigerm]

Interesting, Halatau has been named starting hooker, it goes against the decision to rest Farah (concussion) from last game.

BTW Farah just made it into the side by the look of it? Although it is a squad of 18.

It will be a relief when this shit is all over.

 

[T.T]

Lovett again.. sigh.. has he ever not been dominated in tackles.. hope JJ takes his spot

 

[T.T]

I recall Taylor saying the other week that he has Halatau start for 1st 20min in order to save an interchange.. well we wouldn't need another interchange if Farah played 80min- which is he more than capable of.

Yes, I am not sure how that saves an interchange, hasn't it created one?

 

[Clifferd]

Felise definitely needs to be in there for someone. Preferably Halatau

Bench should be like this imo

Tim Grant
Ava
Felise
Lovett

Fella's, Halatau starting at hooker, Lovett on the bench, Robbie in no man's land, what A coaching masterstroke. How can we loose. JT's a genius. Heck, he can pork my sister :crazy:

 

[Tiger05]

Farah should be the hooker. I can handle playing him from the bench assuming he gets a lot of game time but I think it'd be better to just start him.

Felise should be there instead of Lovett. I think Halatau offers greater versatility off the bench than Lovett.

I just get the impression it's Taylor playing games with Robbie again. What can you do.

We had better win this game.

 

[magpie guy]

It is ridiculous that someone who plays 80 in Origin is not picked to play 80 at club level. Especially with what we lose in terms of service and how we gain nothing in defence. It doesn't save an interchange, it creates one.

Felise has to be picked as well. He adds so much impact from the bench.

Was there any mail on Moses? Looked like he might have done an ankle late in the game on Sunday.

 

[Tigerted]

It's an absolute disgrace that the vindictive small minded prick Taylor refuses to start our best hooker.

What good does it do to have a back rower with 2 left hands operate @ dummy half.

We have buckleys of winning again due to the massive disadvantage we continue to have by playing a clumsy back rower in such a critical & specialised role.

Something must be done asap by oneill & Pascoe to sort this mess up or it will b more of the same next season.

 

[BrotherJim05]

FFS these team selections are geniused. Farah should be at hooker, Lovett or Halutau drop off

 

[Tigerted]

How the heck Lovett & Halatau r ahead of Felise in the pecking order beggars belief !

 

[macnaz]

lol once again ..
Does anyone know what Lovett the hopeless merkin is getting paid ??

So we have no JAC again why ?

Who the f**k knows. I get the impression winning doesn't matter.

Why is rankin if the team if he isn't kicking? I know JAC had a few mistakes in him but it's not like rankin is mistake free.

Otherwise it's as good as can be expected I guess. JJs a bit hard done by as I feel he's been super impressive. Personally I'd move Sue to 12, start Grant then have a bench of Ava, Aloiai, JJ and Dene.

No idea how the game will go, both teams are so unpredictable. Lots of points scored, probably some controversy. If we're going to challenge for the 8 these are the games we need to win, against the other teams wanting those 6-8 spots. It's essentially a 4 point game.

 

[gordsy]

Why are halatau and lovett in the side at all. Pi55 them both off, they add nothing.
