A strong side, should account for newwie. Looks good with Bailes & Gaz due back next week, Tingah well he is someone that may well come in handy at finals time, Personally I dont think he will get another game, but what an attacking player to have if needed.

Saints by 24

Dragons 36 Newwie 12

Thommo!

 

[DevilDragon]

Henderson would probably go if Thommo is fit.

 

[Sticks]

Tough on Hendo isn't it, last weeks 'Players Player' looks likely to fall off the end of the bench. The lads really are playing for their spots in the forwards and with Tingha sniffing about Youngquest is under pressure each week.
The decision about Tingha could really shape our season in some ways, as we all know what his capabilities are when fit and focused, but we have not seen much of this this season due to his injury problems. I cross my fingers and hope Browny makes the decision with his head and based on form, not a heartfelt decision.

They only have space for 17 players in those teams.

 

[Jamesy]

but usually they put all da players up there like in da broncos v tigers game.

I'll guess we'll have to see. They often change it match day anyway.

[Biglance]

i reckon creagh will be omitted thomo to stay on the bench

 

[Dragons Cross]

I thought that too Biglance but Brownie might keep him and remove Hendo because Creagh can cover the outside backs and they can move Poore into the front row if need be.

All said Thommo might still not make the team, how many weeks did they name Barrett before he actually played.

 

[drake]

Thommo looked pretty confident on the news Tuesday.

 

[_Johnsy]

Buderus is in doubt

 

[Nugby]

It's just newcastle, I think Brownie'll probably rest Lance unless he's sure he's 100%

 

[Drew-Sta]

I disagree, why not give Lance 20 minutes towards the end of the game to try and get some match fitness and give him a chance to get back into the games rythm?

 

[Nugby]

you think the rhythm against newcastle'll be comparable to any other game we play this season You're probably right though, we'll see what Brownie does

 

[_Johnsy]

I dont think he would be risked if he wasnt 100% ok

 

[thuganomics]

Just to give you a heads up on the changes to the knights team.

Matt Parsons, Josh Perry and Andrew Price are all out.
Luke Quigley, Daniel Tolar and Blake Mueller are all in.

You guys are gonna run right over us

 

[Drew-Sta]

Never mind thuganomics, as Saints fans are used to saying, "There's always next year"

Cheers Thuga.

Matt Parsons, Josh Perry are a big loss for them.
What about Buderus and O'Davis?
