Omfg they put Koula at fullback instead of keeping Hoppa.

God damn it Sieplod!

I was thinking exactly the same thing, how dumb is this arseclown..

Hoppa is the future, plus Koula could do with a stint in NSW cup. Kid needs to learn how to defend

 

[Rising from the Ashes]

Hoppa has shown his a NRL fullback.. odd decision

 

[clipser]

Another coaching master class

 

[Someone2]

Cowboys by 14

 

[t-ba]

Sigh

 

[Wb1234]

Turbo returns should make this interesting

Madge will be watching closely

He should have declared he wasn't available, He owe's the club big time...

Don't worry.

He won't be available.

 

[eagles4eva]

Our worst defensive back @ FB...

 

[Exsilium]

Let’s just let Turbo get through the game intact. Heck, if he strings a few games together who knows?! He might be of use to his club

 

[eagles4eva]

slow down turbo, no running. You'll do your hammy

 

[t-ba]

So f**king annoyed that Lehi is not at fullback.

Like Hopoates don't need much an excuse to jump ship but I reckon if we don't offer him guaranteed football at that spot he's justified to f**k off.

He shytes over Koula, bizarre by arse-clown She-Bald

 

[Wb1234]

Good start manly

 

[Exsilium]

Mint

 

[eagles4eva]

Awesome by DCE

 

[t-ba]

Was Jason Saab doing some kind of homophobic giraffe gesture there?

 

[t-ba]

OMFG that pass
