Unavailable: Mike Cooper (Back – Under Assessment); Ben Creagh (Knee - TBC); Dylan Farrell (Back - Season); Mose Masoe (Knee - Season).

Very surprised to see that Mary's legitimately dropped Lafai in favour of Mann and the strange decision of starting Frizzel at Prop, however I expect to see Cooper at starting prop and Frizell dropping back to second row with Host starting from the bench.

 

[Dragonscales]

Has Mary lost his f**king mind?

Frizell at prop? Marketo over Matthews? Frizell at Prop pisses me off, he's extremely damaging on the edge.

Coopers meant to be back this week.

At least he's dropped Lafai.

Friz at prop I don't really mind, he has been playing as middle forward for the past few games and is playing at lock for NSW, so while not a traditional prop, they can use his leg speed behind the ruck. I am glad that they are giving Host a proper go.

Kurt Mann in is a positive, hopefully Nighty will see some clean ball.

And Jakey Marketo has been one of our better performing forwards this year, his numbers per minute played are better than Matthews and he brings energy in defence.

I think you will find that Cooper will be back thus Friz wont be a prop.
Apparently Coops is close to playing.

Hugely agree with you on Frizell, even though he does a great job,what a waste using him as a battering ram

 

[Walpole]

Good to see Mann back, he showed enough in those three games on the wing that he still has something to offer. Unfortunately for Lafai it appears there's no chance of getting back to his 2014 form.

Much prefer to see Friz in the backrow which as others are saying might still happen. I don't have too much problem with Marketo but surprised Matthews is out. I'd have him in front of Lui or McCarthy.

 

[Dragonscales]

Frizell is an absolute beast on the edge, he breaks tackles, runs excellent holes and has the speed of a centre. Using him at lock or prop is a total waste of his potential and ability. Ffs Mary.

Cooper is meant to play this week, Tony Ayoub said he will "definitely" play this week and he was close to coming back for the Manly game. Don't know what happened there.

Get Frizz out of the Middle.

 

[SBD82]

Any chance this is a beat up?

I'm predicting Mann to 1, Dugan to right centre, and aitken to left centre.

 

[kit66]

I doubt we'll see Frizell start in the front row 2 days after SOO, even Mary's not that thick.
Great to see Mann in the centres.
They better play a lot better than they did last outing or there'll be more changes.

 

[Dragonslayer]

Settle down guys it's only team list Tuesday.
Friz and Duges have to get through SOO first, uninjured and not too fatigued.
I expect Cooper will play with McCarthy named as the backup forward in case Friz can't back up.
Could even see Nighty back to F/B, Duges into the centres and Mann out to the wing. I think this would be a better move seeing if Mann plays centre he will mark up against Hurrell. I think Duges would be better defending there.
If Dugan can't back up they could even bring Milne in late to cover.
Anyway we'll all find out 1hr before kick off on Friday night.

 

[RedVDragon]

When's rein going to be dropped, on his head and sent packing.

 

[Mickthedragon]

Great to see Mann get a chance at centre over Lafai. I just think with his skills,he can creat more than Lafai on that side.
Hopefull Friz is moved back if Cooper comes in. Surprised FFL survived the axe too but i spose theres nobody else apart from Kiti Glymin or Milne. Prob will be Kiti when he is fully match fit

 

[Reddragon]

That mean Lafai is playing for the Cutters. Or injured?

Your obsession with mitch is stupid.

Injury not playing for cutter not named in team.

 

[coast_dragons]

Was named for the Cutters in the centres.

 

[DRAGONHEART4]

If Mary plays friz at prop then somebody better organize a mental institution for him

 

[BringTheNoise]

Is everybody taking the piss? Do you not all realise how many minutes Frizell actually plays in the middle EVERY WEEK!?

 

[Twenty10]

Can't see both Friz and Dugan backing up. Though they should

Mary will do everything possible to get them out there.His job is on the line.
