Brian smith has said Hindmasrsh will not be considered for next weeks match they want him fit for the grand final if they make it. - 2gb

 

[Utey]

Thank God for that.

 

[League Freak™]

I think after watching the Cowboys Smith must feel pretty confident they can get the job done without The Coin Slot.

 

[varion]

win win situation.

Sets the expectation that he wont be playing, if he happens to make it then it would give the team a boost. If he doesnt make it - no one expected it and hes going to be a better chance for the GF.

I would be nervous playing him anyhow - possibly doing damage and if we won through losing the chance to have him play the GF.

Even if he is on one leg he deserves to have a chance in playing in a winning grand final side after busting his crack (pardon the pun) for the EELS for the past 7 years.

IMO, the Cowboys will be a much better side next week. Iam very nervous atm. Veyr unpredictable thats for sure.

I think it's a good choice. I'd hate for Hindy to play against the Cowboys and re-injure his knee.

 

[Twizzle]

sounds like a good idea to me

 

[Agent Mulder]

The Cowboys don't have a chance even if Hindmarsh doesn't play.

better that then running out in a GF and re-injuring his knee in the opening minutes leaving his team mates short staffed for the GF

 

[King of the Hill]

hmm geez brian smith has never pulled any selection stunts before...has he?

 

[sunny]

lol....nice point

I think if this is serious, this is the wrong attitude to take. It could end up being like a boxer who saves his energy for the last round of the fight, but gets knocked out in the fifth. If He can play, he can play. If he can't, he can't. That should be the attitude to take. None of this "saving him for the grand final" nonsense.

 

[Iafeta]

I agree with sunny.

It sounds contemptuous from Brian Smith, a bit arrogant so to speak. I'm sure Graham Murray will be spinning it something hoarse to fire up his lads.

If Hindmarsh is fit to play, he should play. There's no second chances from here on in.

 

[varion]

I think the problem is Hindmarsh himself wont know until gameday if its going to be a definate possibility.

If Fit - Parra will definately play him. It must be borderline for them to rule him out and i dont think this is mind games.

Brian Smith actually hasnt pulled out many selection changes/suprises at all this year and many times the named team is the team that runs out.

[aussies1st]

I wouldn't play Hindmarsh unless he is 100% fit. No point in risking him if he may get injuried after 1 minute.

 

[Beaches Boy]

Go The Saints WestieMatta Sucks

 

[Hurriflatch]

I'll beleive it when the final team is announced an hour before kick off.

 

[booeycollector]

The Cowboys don't have a chance even if Hindmarsh doesn't play.

Disagree. It's gonna take a big effort to get over the Cowgirls. I'm very nerovous and won be happy until we get up. The Cowgirls are are going to be fired up. Go the eels.

 

[Hurriflatch]

I'm tipping the Eels but to say they have no chance is stupid.

Parra should win easily but the Cowboys will fire up and who here tipped the Cowboys to beat the Storm last night?????? c'mon be honest now I know I didn't

The Cowboys will play for the full 80 mins something Parra hasn't done for over a month.
