CT predicted team changes

[twistedbydesign]

Mornin guys

Just had a read of the CT which reported the following..

1 - Bickerstaff gone for up to 6 weeks, Jones into the starting lineup and Picker added to an extended bench

2 - Howell is in Sydney and expected to play - Chalk to fullback Zillman likely to miss.

3 - Dobson has the kicking duties.

Fire up boys!

god damn i wanted to see zilly lol..been talking him up non stop to my non raider friends.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

sh*tty.

Any word on Graham? He was meant to be under a cloud of doubt.

 

[twistedbydesign]

Both Howell and Graham are still under injury clouds - if either doesn't come good then Zillman will start at fullback and Chalk will return to the centres.

 

[Mullins_y2k]

sh*t well thats not good!!

 

[gorilla with a shotgun]

Is Zillman injured?

 

[Edwahu]

Suprised to see Picker getting a run on the extended bench this early, although its probably just for experience. Also suprised to see Jones starting ahead of Costigan.

i think henry has started jonesy because you would of noticed he was 18th man when henry named the team first up,why start miller,costigan or logan when you dont have to,this way henry has nothing to lose.
theres a sh*tload of impact on our interchange,cant wait to see logan in action.

 

[raiders fan forever]

Damn!, Bickerstaff we need for experience and chalk i wouldnt put at fullback keep zilly in or is he injured?

 

[raidersfan]

yeah i'd drop Chalk not Zillman.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Zillman must be in doubt if Chalk is moving back to fullback and Howell is expected to play. Howell's addition sounds like a forced hand.

 

[twistedbydesign]

Better yet - get rid of Purtell and play Howell on the wing.

 

[Mullins_y2k]

Better yet - get rid of Purtell and play Howell on the wing.

Yes!!!

 

[Freddo]

can we get a sorce and confirmation on this please

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

the source is the CT...isn't it?

 

[julian87]

I have a feeling Howell is just on stand by for Graham. I hope so anyway.

These late changes are bad news. Might be the difference tonight unfortunately.

 

[legend]

I agree. I am far less confident with Jones in and Bickerstaff out.

 

[always a raider]

Why does Jones cop so much? I think he will go well.

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

according to Super saturday, jones is in - bickerstaff

 

[edabomb]

Why does Jones cop so much? I think he will go well.

Probably because Jones is a very average ball runner. Good defender though.
