Charity Shield v Dragons on Sun 19th Feb @ ANZ

[DiegoNT]

I think Robbie's wrapped up an 80 minute hooker role.
He and cook were supposed to get a half each, but Farah ended up with extra minutes.
I think Farah earnt the role in the first half. For the 1st part of the 2nd half cook didn't do anything great. He had sloppy defence and made a few small errors. Then he showed what he can do with that try to burns and it changed things. That's why I think Robbie came back on, against the original plan. I think it was a way to see if they can work together, but it didn't really work.

I also think burns will be their in Rd1. He was already favoured as he was on the open right wing as opposed to AJs preferred left wing

Cooks 1st touch was a mistake. in saying that he laid on an impressive kick for Burns 1st Try. Old rocks and diamonds. He played well dont get me wrong, but with Farah its a far different side. I can see Cook getting some bench starts but shouldnt be starting ahead of Farah.

Turner killed it. As did Burns. Hardly noticed Rochow, No chance for RD1 id say.

Back line will look deadly this year with Talakai and Burns with AJ and Hunt

Yes Rochow isn't the same player he was in 2013 when he seemed a smokie for two honours. Cherrington was solid without being spectacular. Musgrove wasn't their right? Didn't notice him. I think the thing in cooks favour is that neither Cherrington or Rochow demanded selection, unlike Chricton who was great, so he may jag a bench spot. But another thing to consider is that today was unlimited interchange, and the twins really struggled with longer minutes

 

[southsport]

Crichton in for Clark too I think, not that Clark did anything wrong.

exactly what i said in my threads earlier today

Tend to Agree. I think Musgrove was a late withdrawal. Not sure why.

Tyrell played hes guts out as usual

i been telling you that southy in most of my posts it seems the penny has dropped

Clark played in the middle, coming on for tyrrell. Chricton plays on the edge, and came on for sutton. I don't think they are in competition with each other. I think they'll both be there

 

[foreverinourshadow]

crichton will be on the bench he has far more skills in his pinky finger than clarky could ever dream up....

shadow knows

 

[foreverinourshadow]

id have cook,georgeb,rochow and crichton....but i think cherro will be on the bench and rochow in the top 13 run on side but might be visa versa....musgrove will be in the 13 players run on side

shadow knows

i been telling you that southy in most of my posts it seems the penny has dropped

And did you notice how well Tyrrell played???

 

[foreverinourshadow]

in with the new and out with the old its time for change bring in the young guns into our back line and add the (2) 1st grade old guns such as rochow and cherro to our top (17) in 2017....Shadow...

Pretty much my team although Musgrove in for Cherrington if he's fit

Musgrove over Cherrington if he is available

 

[doyen]

I think we've struck gold with Burns & Crichton!!

GI has been mentoring Burns for a couple of years now--I reckon he will be pushing hard for Burns' inclusion. He looks a super talent.

Crichton reminds me of a young Bobby McCarthy--he looks class!!

Unfortunately for Cook; Robbie still seems to have it---Farah was excellent!! He's going to make a helluva difference!!

I didn't really notice Cherrington!!
