Round 17 TLT v Dragons @ Wollongong - 28th June 5:30pm

[King-Gutho94]

Well its Tuesday

Drown is back but we lose Penisini & Smith so what Ryles does particular with Drown will be interesting.

By the looks of it Flanno is keeping the Nepo kid in the halves with LKT.

Ill be at WIN Stadium on Saturday never seen us win or lose there yet so there is a first time for everything.

Ill have to take some ear muffs i suspect Lomax is going to get the shit booed out of him.

 

[Matty Bhoy]

I reckon Lomax is in for a big one. Looking forward to it.

 

[Gronk]

I said "onya Reggie" as he ran on Sunday night. We all agreed that he was a nice guy - then he came in with a late flop and was all elbows. Merkin.

Gloves are off. Let's smash Gutho.

Our worst side all year, a lot of troops coming back after the bye with Simmo and Tuivati in round 19

week after that Moses, smith and moretti return

 

[Soren Lorenson]

Will Brown and Joash play beside each other whatever their position is? I can't remember who goes where these days?

I don't think Papalii has played centre in his life and he'd be marking Val Holmes or Moses Suli.

You just need a defender out there. Don't care if it's a backrower TBH.

You've named last weeks run-on side with Drown replacing Penisini, Hands replacing Smith and Matto replacing Guymer - not sure it's the worst side all year.

Heard somewhere Matto has a back/spine issue and is out indefinitely

[TheParraboy]

Win this one, then we have the bye

A win on Saturday is a massive leg up going into the Ruff game on July 13th

We will only have Zac backing up from Origin, they will have a few not sure they rest them this time around...

There’s a joke there that writes itself

Maybe I'm crazy but this could have been a master stoke from JR to move Brown to the centres and give Papalii another crack at 6. Our season isn't going anywhere serious so why not give the lad a red hot go in the halves going forward? Maybe JR didn't talk to Brown, maybe he knows more than me.

Or maybe it will still happen for some for all of the game ?

 

[Eelogical]

I believe that's quite possible but I don't know if JR is prepared to take that risk right now. There's quite a few others on here who also think Brown should be moved to centre and Pap retained at 6.

perhaps papalii replaces Lussick, moves to 6 and Brown to hooker?

 

[King-Gutho94]

There is too much disruption there i assume Papali'i will just rotate with Lussick during the game and play dummy half like he did for a couple of games.

Its not like we're bringing on the best teenager the game has ever seen and having to disrupt the whole spine to accomodate him midway through a match.
