Different Looking Team This Week

Messages

Allan Mac was saying he was watching the Warriors go through a couple of team runs this morning and said Sonny Fai was playing back row and Malo Solomona on 1 wing and Tony Martin also running in the back line moves.

Allan also said Patty Ah Van has a hamstring strain and is in doubt and the club thinks Lauaki will be in trouble with his high shot on Pyjamas. Surely they wouldnt throw a rookie in now with sudden death approaching, they would have to go with Lui. Mac said Lauaki has carry over points so if charged will be gone.

Im not sure bringing Tony Martin back is a ggod thing either. Maybe Lance at centre with Byrne on the wing.

Will find out tomoro

I cant see Ivan going with so many changes, tho Fai could be a secret weapon.
Cowboys are a different styled team to the Eels, we could see some changes.
If Ah van is out and Lauaki suspended - maybe bring martin back.
The prob with lui is he gives on average 2 penilties a game.

Wait and see

Ivan is not going to spring any surprises whatsoever. That is not his game. Paddy
and Hame may need to be replaced but that would be it.

Far out, can't we get our injury run when everyone else does?

Be interesting if they do run a few rookies, but you really have to go with first grade experience at finals time. I like having them in the mix - and knowing they aren't Bartercard nuffies who may or may not be decent at a higher level.

I could live with a rookie coming into the 2nd row - if we had no other choice - but a rookie on the wing in finals football would be a complete nightmare

I think that's the one we will see (providing Hame is unavailable).

I think that if we lose Lauaki. Cleary would seriously have to look at Fai as an impact player. The Warriors would sorely miss Lauaki.

The Warriors should fight tooth and nail, if Lauaki is charged.

Bring in the best lawyer, a physics professor to reiterate the laws of gravity and PJ's school priest. He could reiterate how much PJ deserved that whack, through the countless times PJ met with the strap at school.

Somebody get Denny Crane!!!

Totally agree. We need at least one impact forward on the bench. Having said that if Koopu and Angry are fired up they should do the job.
Webb will be a big loss for the Cowboys.

Its pretty much a cert that Martin is playing.
I heard Crockett might be dropped to
I dont thing Hame was put on report i think he just got penalised.
I would would want to give Fai a go, but you would have to have anderson because of xperience (not a logan swan xperience)

MARTIN!?

Didn't he play the first 12 rounds or so? We saw what happened once he was dropped....
