[Meth]

Not sure how long Maumalo is out for. If he's out again, same as today and would like to see Ayshford come in perhaps?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Satae may not be available.

 

[TheDMC]

Satae may not be available.

But McCullough will be....refs got that so wrong...

 

[TheDMC]

If Satae is out, then Sipley in for him

Did Burgess get binned for his elbow to Morris? As that has to count in the punishment handed out?

Scott still got 3 weeks for his punches.
But does breaking someone's eye socket get you more time off?

 

[TheDMC]

But does breaking someone's eye socket get you more time off?

In NRL world it does fer sure

 

[Meth]

What is his injury?

knee, indefinite

 

[Philip_Smith007]

In NRL world it does fer sure

So logic goes;
Get a dirty play on you eg Elbow to head ala Boyde on SJ.
Get up and bitch slap the offender and cause a ruckus.
Video gets reviewed.
Offender get binned for offense, you didn't punch so you all good and you get the penalty.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Satae and McCullough both free to play.
McCullough $1150 fine.

 

[Blair]

McCullough $1150 fine.

A few boxing lessons wouldn't go amiss.

HEAD COACH | STEPHEN KEARNEY

 

[Cold Roses]

Afoa on the extended bench. Makes me very very happy.

 

[ozenzud]

Any word on Leviaha Pulu? They said Round 20 some time back. He must be close I reckon.

 

[JJ]

feel a bit for Hiku, he was pretty good filling in on the wing after a horror show - but if Maumalo's ready he's been great

pretty good side, especially if Afoa can play

 

[SpaceMonkey]

So it appears Kearney is smarter than we give him credit for and Hiku was in fact dropped for his shocker against Penrith- it was just done discreetly last week as Hiku was needed as a fill-in winger anyway.

 

[Big Marn]

lets hope so and theres not some last minute switcheroo.

 

[vvvrulz]

Great side, I don't really feel sorry for Hiku who got plenty of chances and is clearly rocks and diamonds.

 

[Cold Roses]

Does make me wonder though, what exactly has Sao done to get in Kearney's bad books. It can't just be form because he's played well all year. Both starting the season in first grade for the winning run, and then in ISP.
