Cleaned up version 1

 

[xofstgeorge]

sweet, we got 26 players on the field this week

 

[Kiki]

oh how nice of gaz to offer his services.

 

[paulyt]

As long as they don't have him at fullback in attack and wing in defence or whatever they were doing Gaz will be right.

 

[Cagey Mac]

I liked the 26 players myself, great for gang tackles and would certainly test our short passing game

 

[Jono078]

Good move, I reckon Nightingale could be an awesome fullback with all the flair he has.

 

[shredda84]

i like the look of the backrow,if these guys play well i think where a good chance provided hunt and saffy can match the tigers props

 

[xofstgeorge]

tigers props are as soft as gaz's injuries, saf and hunt will be fine.

tigers props are as soft as gaz's injuries, saf and hunt will be fine.

Obviously haven't watched many of our games lately.

Galloway is in terrific form, Laurie is doing Kamakazi runs from the bench and Gibbs has been stepping up too.

We'll be fine in that department.

[gregstar]

it's good to see wendell there.

 

[Saintsman]

I would rather have Lett then Gaz unless gaz somehow produces miracle awesome form He hasn't done anything lately. I'm praying brown doesn't move Gaz to fullback and Nighty to the wing. Gaz cant tackle or chase down players like Brett Morris.

 

[Willow]

As reported, Jason Ryles, Brett Morris, Ben Creagh, Justin Poore all out. That's a huge chuck out of the pack.

Great opportunity for Saffy and Hunt to step up.

 

[dragondad]

I'm sure we won the Jersey Flegg with Nightingale at fullback with the Morris twins in the same team. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Willow]

it's good to see wendell there.

He's doing very well for Burleigh. He scored a couple of tries.

WENDELL SCORES IN BEARS MAULING
Sunday 3 August 2008

IT’S taken 220 minutes – but Wendell Sailor is on the board.

http://www.leagueunlimited.com/article.php?newsid=16740

Burleigh won 62-12.

Its a more a question of who didn't score a try. lol

 

[Saintsman]

As reported, Jason Ryles, Brett Morris, Ben Creagh, Justin Poore all out. That's a huge chuck out of the pack.

Great opportunity for Saffy and Hunt to step up.

Ryles and Poore= two of the form forwards atm
Brett Morris= forming a lethal partnership with Josh
Creagh= starting to find some form.

Its good we have the back ups for Morris and Creagh in Sailor/Stanley/Lett and Setu. But Ryles and Poore are big losses. Hunt and Saffy wont be anywhere near as good. Saffy has only been improving every game though.

 

[LOYAL DRAGON]

lets see what they do

good to see turnstyle gaz back ...:lol::lol::lol:
