Round One v Melbourne

[Luke Bowden]

Thats a big if he is out, i read somewhere he here is ok, but yeah sure play him against the storm

Yeah if he’s out.

I think Jesse would be fine on the sting against the storm.

[Chins get the wins]

He should sue.

 

[MrBlack]

Would have been nice if they handed that down a week ago. We maybe could have used the WCC game as his suspension.

 

[Bred not Bought]

Sommerton played a trial last week v North Sydney. Luke hasn't had any game time.

Sommerton is simply a better footballer

I agree, the NRL had a lot of time to consider this.

The club asked for and was granted a deferral until after the WCC.

Sommerton in at 9 - Luke hardly mentioned during pre-season - Sommerton looked better in the limited time he was given in 2023.

if Tito is injured - i hope they keep May at Centre - we need him to get more minutes in that position.

 

[Iamback]

He should sue.

He'd have something in his contract covering it

Unless he has had a big off-season then he is in the same spot as Luke. Neither of them appear to be starters, I think Melbourne would run through them too often for us to cover.

Peachey or Schneider to start for mine. Pick one of Luke/Sommerton for the bench.

 

[Hooked]

Luke was part of the squad that went to England. Sommerton wasn't.
You can interpret that any way you want.

 

[globalpanther]

@Blade23 TURUVA long term or should be good to play v Melb mate?

Oh lord that’s such a bad idea.

Oh lord that’s such a bad idea.

I've got a direct line to Ivan mate I'll get this one sorted.

You may not have that line open for too long! Hahaha

Sommerton got monstered most of the first game he played. Luke has been the same.

Not sure it’s the worst idea to put a stop gap at 9 for the first 20. The most experimental we get with the ball in the opening 20 is slinging it to NC on the last anyway.

Without Kenny I imagine we run both Luke and Sommerton. I dont think either would be trusted to play 80 against Storm.

We changed it up on Sunday, We flung it too JFH and Leota on the last sometimes
