6. Jerome Ropati :shock: :shock:


WTF, HAS THE WORLD GONE f**kING MAD ????

EH ?

 

[NZ Warrior]

JBro better get to know all the Lions guys' names, because that's where he'll be staying.

I can't for the life of me think how he gets a walk up start to the Lions' #6 jersey, don't you need to earn it first???

 

[AliN]

yes interesting Steve moiving to halfback with JRo at standoff.

Some top quality forwards amongst that side. Should be a great battle with the Jets side.

Really looking forward to this game.

 

[Sanchez]

can anyone specify the changes from last weeks team

No Constantine Mika out there. Vuna moves to centre from the wing. Wayne McDade starts in place of Evarn (Wayne was on the bench). Steve moves to half back with Ropo coming in at stand off. Isaac John moves to the bench.

And some others.

WHERE IS MIGUEL START! Last I heard he had a slight injury, is this still the case? He would definitely be in this squad otherwise - the kid trains fulltime with the Warriors.

He still has a hamstring problem, I understand.

 

[Dr Crane]

The 1,000,000,000 question - will J Ro be a decent 5/8 in Premier League?

 

[ozbash]

well, there goes the JRo to center theory shared by some misinformed members of this board.

if cleary wanted to see him at center, he,d have con mika's spot.... wouldnt he ?

 

[NZ Warrior]

I don't like the sound of this, eh. OB is right, I don't like the sound of that either.

Is this match being televised??? I can't see it listed.

It looks a very strong side. This looks a much tougher proposition than what the Eels were last week. I assume Vince Mellars is injured, can anyone confirm?

 

[Hatzy]

The centres are powerful. Setaimata Sa is a Christchurch boy.

How many Kiwis are in that team btw?

Shane Shackleton (the ginger) is a Kiwi, he's the only other one I know of, but I'm sure there's probably a couple more in there.

 

[Skinner]

That is a strong looking team. The Lions will have go up a notch to take those 2 points.

 

[NIGHTMARE-HITTER]

Dam right, thats a pretty strong looking team !! It would be brilliant signs if the Lions got up for this one.

There's 7 or 8 names in that lot could easily be lining up for the Roosters at the moment !!
