[Matchball]

We should beat this mob in Sydney.
Let's just hope we turn up mentally.

 

[madunit]

after our last bashing of a top side, we failed to shop up the following week and got trounced by an ordinary team.

 

[Pedro Collins]

Scott and Tamou V Woods and Galloway. If our starters can contain them, hopefully our bench can continue momentum.

 

[madunit]

Apparently Rowe might be fullback...

 

[gronkathon]

Confirmed

Abominable decision

 

[madunit]

If Simona is fullback and Rowe is at centre, I could live with that a bit more.

I think that injury really got us in that game. Farah iprobably needed to sit the game out (but he's just that tough he will play anyway) and Patterson and Tedesco injuries left our left side defense open to an almighty onslaught.

Provide we don't get ravaged by injuries again, I reckon we could destroy the cowboys

The positive of this decision re Rowe is - At least unlike Sheens, Potter is replacing like for like and not shuffling 6 or 7 positions for the sake of 1 injury. Simona is a gun in the centres and should stay there.

Remember the days of Farah to half, Fulton to hooker, Lawrence to 5/8 etc. I prefer this like for like method.

Strong side, very keen to see how young Rowe goes on debut.

this ^ is spot on

 

[gronkathon]

Glad to see BMM in at starting prop for NSW Cup.

Have said for a year or so it is his best slot

 

[madunit]

Given Lulia is 18th man, i wouldn't be surprised if Simona is fullback & rowe is replaced by Lulia in the centres

 

[Tigers Tale]

Given Lulia is 18th man, i wouldn't be surprised if Simona is fullback & rowe is replaced by Lulia in the centres

I was thinking the same thing Madunit. I really don't know much about Rowe as I have only seen him play a few times plus what I saw in the 9's. I am thinking if Potter (a fullback by trade) has confidence in him I suppose I have to as well.

 

[gronkathon]

I just think Lulia is 18th because he is relatively expendable.

Older legs will be helped by not playing in a few games as well I think

 

[BrotherJim05]

Rowe making his debut...I'm liking the blooding of talent, will be good to see how he goes.

Hopefully Teddy isn't too long out, he is dynamite

 

[Old Time Tiger]

very good point and I guess we have forgotton what Sheens use to do. So lets give the kid a go and I guess we can praise him or bag him after the game.

Glad to see BMM in at starting prop for NSW Cup.

yes gronk it is good. Interesting that Buchanan who would be the forgotten man, can't get a start yet.
