Ballina team, straight from the coach's mouth.

[The Colonel]

only as much as you did when you found out that Hindy was out for the year ;-)

That sucked big time...... you on the other hand are like a tap.

 

[PB]

The following players will have a "light run" as Brian calls it on Friday night at Cabramatta.

Timana Tahu
Nathan Cayless
PJ Marsh
Joel Reddy
Henry Perenara
John Williams

and a few others which I couldn't remember sorry...

Plenty on here have been saying PJ is injured and in doubt for the start of the season... i guess they were wrong.....

 

[sooperdooper]

very interesting lineup. as they always are in trials!

 

[BD5733]

Does anyone have any more info on the trial on Friday night?

Who are we playing?
What time?
Where?

Sounds like it would be worth heading too with the quality on show, even if its only for a short time.

 

[parra piggy]

I'm going to ballina yay! I will hopefully get a lot of autographs........and meet lots of new smiling faces!

 

[Hurriflatch]

Doubt Fui will be able to play due to his suspension he can use the Ballina trial to get 1 more week off but I doubt he'd actually be able to play.

 

[Hellsy]

Fui = Blue [can't wait to see him in friday night]

Fui can't play, they will use this game as one of his suspension games

 

[Hellsy]

Sorry Flatch, didn't read the next page when I quoted Eela

 

[Stagger eel]

Fui can't play, they will use this game as one of his suspension games

he can play premier league, some sort of stupid loophole however the game in Ballina still counts as a missed game. that's what Brian said anyway.

see 2 posts above.

 

[Stagger eel]

I forgot, PJ is also suspeneded for 1 game but will still play on Friday night.

 

[eelz47]

those rules are bloody stupid!

 

[Hellsy]

Hmmm ineresting.
That makes absolutly no phucking sense and proves that our judicial system is in serious need of an overhaul.

Judiciary "Fui you've been a bad boy again you are suspended for 6 weeks"
FUI "Can I play Ressies?"
Judiciary "Sure go ahead"

Does this sound stoopid to anyone else??

 

[eelz47]

they sure do, you watch him bash up lil kids now.

 

[yy_cheng]

I thought it would be more like:

Judiciary "Fui you've been a bad boy again you are suspended for 6 weeks"
FUI "Can I play Ressies and to fix up my technique?"
Judiciary "Umm errr, I guess it's not gonna be on telly, so, Sure go ahead"

 

[Stagger eel]

and Smithy was shaking his head at the rule also.

 

[Hurriflatch]

Well, the NSWRL still governs the REggies and lower.

However, I'd say it'll be similar to the Carl Webb incident where he is suspended but will be playing in QRL run trials when this happened the NRL basically said that if the governing body of that grade allows said player to play in trial matches then thats fine.

 

[eloquentEEL]

The QRL probably looked at who Webb hit and went... "he's just a NSWelshman... he should get rewarded for that, not penalised!"

The NSWRL probably looked at who Fui hit and went... "he's just a little QLD sh*t... plus, he's gone to play that sh*te union crap.... Fui should get doubly rewarded for that, not penalised!"

 

[Eelementary]

Ridiculous rules.

How his tackle deserved a 9 week suspension I'll never know...
