How likely is Lawrence to be a late inclusion?

How likely is Lawrence to be a late inclusion?

sheens generally doesnt play ducks and drakes with selections. our players are more likely to pull out after being named then be a surprise inclusion.

id say lawrence and ellis will be back for the following friday nights game against the dragons.

btw heighingtons out of the storm game. he's been average this year but with ellis and galloway already out it leaves a big gap in our pack. no replacement has been named as yet however id assume trimachi will come in with galea or laurie to start.

How likely is Lawrence to be a late inclusion?

He pulled out late on Monday, so I'd say he's a chance, considering coaches don't make many changes on Tuesday if they play Monday. But as said, Sheens won't play ducks and drakes. I'd say he's a possibility, but I wouldn't count on it happening.

lawrence better not play...he has ripped us up a couple of times in the past.

 

[Evenflow]

Yeah and the Tigers aren't depleted missing Galloway, Collis, Lawrence, Moltzen, Tagive.

Yeah...yeah.....

Is Moltzen definitely out?

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

Is Moltzen definitely out?

Umm, I think he's playing, wasn't sure when I said it since he missed last week.

Though, you can replace Moltzen with Heighno on the injured list and add Ellis.

lawrence has scored a few doubles against the storm in the past. i still remember a try he scored at gosford against them from a scrum, he beat about 6 people, it was unbelievable.

this mornings herald says he trained at center yesterday and is 50/50 to play. im probably leaning towards him playing now.

my guess is he'll play and halatau will go to the bench to replace heighno with galea/laurie starting

ahh yes i managed to put that far back in my memory...thanks for bringing it back up :lol:

He is a great player...and this is definitely a danger game for us...

Tigers to win. Storm still have a great side, although the Tigers are arguably the best side in the NRL at performing with average players in the team. Their few stars seem to do a great job at carrying the team, and if Lawrence plays i think that Benji and Lawrence will absolutely smash the Storm.

I want to see a massive game from Lawrence. Earn a call up for Origin 3. Michael Jennings and Chris Lawrence would be an unstoppable centre/winger combination.

Storm by 12.

 

[kia ora storm]

Weather is overcast...no wind and not too cold...should be a good game.

Kearney will get the Storm boys up for this...Lima, Blair and Tolman will win the forward battle.

If I was Kearney Id get Lima, White, Blair, Hoffman and Manu together before the game and challenge them to lead from the front and that we cant afford them not to play to their absolute best today.

Agree...Lima and Blair should be vocal today. Don't juts leave it to Cronk and Finch.

The forwards are very experienced and need to use this today.

 

[AILD]

If our forwards play to their best i think we might win. If they slacken off we will get creamed. It will be dangerous on Nielsons side of the field and also with Turner under the high ball. Zappa cant catch or jump, and Nielson has little experince and probably not the greatest defender...oh and quinn is playing> keep the ball away from him.

Coaches are saying Neilson is an excellent defender. We'll see though if that translates.


And Kia Ora the last thing we want is Cooper over-playing his hand which he can tend to do when the big guns are out.

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

Storm will win this 30-10.

Without Ellis, Heighnington, Lawrence, Collis, Farah, Galloway the Tigers will struggle. The Storm have a few guys out with origin, but a better side on a whole and can cover there injuries/mishaps.

 

[Captian_Klutz]

About to go to the game with the boy.

Thinking we'll win rather than expecting it.


.... U20s down 4-12

 

[gong_eagle]

Should be Storm by 13+ I expect

 

[Tipster]

Storm really should win this one, still have quality across the park especially in the halves

 

[Tipster]

HT in the U20's...

Tigers 16-10

Conditions overcast but no rain
