[devoid]

Joel Moon, Sione Lousi, Bill Tupou, Jeremy Lattimore, Shaun Johnson, and Manu Vatuvei travelling with the side - some changes to the line up are in the wind.

 

[hitman82]

I heard about all of those except Johnson - are you sure he is traveling with the team?

I have this vision:

1.Locke
2.Tupou
3.Moon
4.Inu
5.Vatuvei
6.Maloney
7.Seymour
8.Packer
9.Heremaia
10.Lillyman
11.Brown
12.Mateo
13.Luck

14.Johnson
15.Ta'ai
16.Lousi
17.Latimore

...would be very entertaining!

No, not 100% sure, but not pulling stuff out of my a** either. Not injured, not named for the Vulcans, a few posts on various other forums sounding assertive, and Cleary keeping cards close to his chest - I'm pretty sure he is travelling with the side. I don't see him getting run though. I don't think all of our guys will back up, but I suspect a couple might. Anyway, it will be interesting. Shaun Berrigan on the radio this morning sounded like Manu is playing this weekend... we shall see.

 

[hitman82]

Drop a few hints did he? Awesome.

TBH, if Manu plays we are a huge chance of winning regardless of the rest of our team's make-up. Defense hasn't been a big problem for us this season, scoring points has. If Manu plays, we should score enough to win.

I expect Rapira, Matulino and Mannering will all back up from the test - pretty hardy customers. Hohaia looks to be carrying an injury or two so he will be out I think.

And I saw Johnson mentioned on a forum or 2, was just curious as to whether you'd heard anything official... all good!

It's weird - officially, as far as this week goes, Shaun Johnson doesn't exist. Makes me think something is up, but without hearing of any injury to our halves or an un-Cleary radical move - ala Seymour to lock or hooker for 20 mins, I just don't see how he would fit.

As for Berro this morning, it was pretty funny; a headline was running stating Manu wouldn't be risked this weekend, and then Berro all but gave away that he had done everything required and had trained the house down, was on the plane and lacing up his boots. It seemed like the Warriors reluctantly let on that Manu was going to the Gold Coast. As far as I recall, he was always due back for this round.

Can't wait for this one. We are due against the Titans, and despite being unsure of our line-up they are clearly missing some guys who have had a massive hand in beating us before in Friend and Anthony 'I score a try everytime I play the Warriors' Laffranchi; like you, I think if Manu plays, we should get the points.

That's a pretty handy wrap, Wanu Watuwaii is your Joey!

 

[One Warrior]

The Beast is back, Locke fullback, Hohaia from the bench, Mara to start and Heremaia is out.

 

[bileduct]

Should have gone to the video ref for Mead's second try. He was short of the line when he first went to ground, bounced, and by the time the ball was grounded in the in goal it looked to me like his legs were in touch.

 

[_snafu_]

Campbell is useless...

 

[Psylence]

Lol harrison, preston.. catching practice this week?

 

[Marshall_magic]

Contender for softest try ever?

 

[wittyfan]

Poor Preston. One year too many I think. And no wonder the Titans are going all out to sign players, today's been a debacle.

 

[runatme]

lol titans

 

[Izz]

Locke's looking good at FB.

 

[Big Pete]

Agreed, although I was more concerned about Vatuvei's foot with his try.

I'm happy for the ref to back himself.

 

[cleary89]

Score?

 

[Red Bear]

26-14, with NZ having a kick to come was last I heard

 

[wittyfan]

Are the Titans on some sort of sleeping pills today????
