The chad must have pissed somebody off.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

loos like it ay.

anyway, Robson gets his go.

better take it with two hands.

 

[Plastered]

Meh - would like to see Robson at DH, reckon he has the best passing game and is nippy enough for a scoot or two. Chad at HB. Bakuya and Best in the centres, Feki on one wing.

 

[M2D2]

Minus the fact Pom is still there and that Robson got the nod over chad. Its prob the best on paper lineup.
Id move Mills to center and Bring back Ike when he comes back from injury and well...i think thats the best we could possibly do. Maybe give Feki a run or two.

 

[Mr Angry]

Prefer The Chad, will give Robbo a go, might be a Perry/Locker type thing.

Hope he has a good game with kicking.

Bakuya rewarded, that is good.

Wade might find his wings being able to run either side.

Gallen wil clearly spend time at prop with this config.

Still prefer Morris starting, degwahh on fresh is appealling.

PS Robbo, word for the game, grubber.

Do you really want chad defending tony Williams?

 

[Special K]

All pre season the talk was about how good Chad is going and Robson is being viewed as a 9... Now this. Lame

 

[Miller Lite]

I think Carney needs that experience alongside him. Even though The Chad ain't exactly green.....I think Robson is a better 7 for Carney.

I do feel for The Chad though.....

 

[kevdude]

This sux Chad should be at 7

 

[Craigshark]

I'm happy for Robson to be given a chance. As much as I want Townsend in team I have a feeling they're trying to groom him like Cherry Evans, with some time against the big boys in NSW Cup as opposed to playing kids in Toyota Cup.

 

[Inferno]

I think Bukuya will lose his effectiveness starting. That said Toops can play the same role I suppose.

CT will be ecstatic to be behind Graham and Robson in the pecking order.
Can't understand the hype about Ike Gordon being the savior at FB either. Very average. I might go and watch training to see what Pom does to keep his place. Granted not his worst at the weekend but even his best is rubbish
I have changed my mind about our backs being as bad as the pennies, dogs and Souths. Currently our on-field performance puts us last. Dogs and pennies both won. Reynolds playing ok for Souths. Parra's problems are all over and in a close call would take a lot of their backs over ours.
Tell me another club who would recruit and select Robson for first grade. Give it a couple of weeks and people will demanding Matt Wright to be re-instated.

On another note does anyone have a link to Gardners ludicrous attempt to save the 40/20? I want to revisit to see if it was as stupid as it seemed live.

 

[tom of poland]

I can live with this, Robson deserves his chance. Good that the changes are being made now and not Round 16.

 

[ThePeach]

Bukuya played his best game in Sharks colours last weekend. Guess what? He started.

 

[M2D2]

Can't understand the hype about Ike Gordon being the savior at FB either.

He has good speed and is in the right position when he should be. Which is something Gards is having problems with recently, along with his brain snaps.

I have a feeling they're trying to groom him like Cherry Evans

No offence to you, but if they are doing that, without a front of jersey sponsor. They are grooming him for the other clubs that will descend on us when we go belly up.

 

[sharknows]

Happy with those changes. At least it will shake them up and it puts Carney into his best position.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Fair go to Flanno he's not doing a copy and paste each week.

Wright dropped last week and Robson promoted this week.

Bukuya rewarded and the lazy Too Poo on the bench.

Side still needs more Feki though.

 

[Card Shark]

I'm happy for Robson to be given a chance. As much as I want Townsend in team I have a feeling they're trying to groom him like Cherry Evans, with some time against the big boys in NSW Cup as opposed to playing kids in Toyota Cup.

I agree & think it's wise. We have to look at the long term.

 

[Ken Ebb]

Townsend will play plenty of 1st grade this year I am sure.

Robson probably deserves a crack. I reckon he'll go alright actually and this isn't a bad combination.

 

[Frenzy.]

Carney at 6 is the key here. Robson will do the job and he brings more experience for a very important game. I can live it.

Also I reckon jc nailed it with his reference to T Rex on Chad. Big no no.
