*Sigh*

Bailey at 6, Mullen at 7, Dureau at 9, still no Aku.

 

[The Colonel]

What has Matt White suddnely been doing to fall back into favour?

 

[Stranger]

Played ok on the weekend, and we have Crossy and Royal out.

Not to unhappy with that team, i think Kids will still play alot of 9, giving Scotty time at half.

 

[ace of spades]

there will be a change for sure dereura wont play the whole game at hooker, late game change dereau to the bench, gildey to hooker uate in the backline. Smith did the same for sau's debut

 

[voltron]

no wes?
not really confident in vuna
im glad white has gotten a starting lineup position for us
he was great against the panthers
wish we would drop wicks though.....dunno who we would replace him with

when is cross back anyway??

 

[Frederick]

no wes?

Wes broke his foot, dude.

 

[Jobdog]

when is cross back anyway??

Cross isn't back for another fortnight or so IIRC. That's just so he can re-injure himself for the rest of the season.

 

[Serc]

I was pretty sure we'd see that lineup...don't think those are the positions we'll see all game though. Don't think we'll see Uate appear as #19 either.

 

[RufusRex]

how long is Wes out for?

 

[Matt23]

how long is Wes out for?

3-4 weeks

 

[perverse]

aku wont be named on a tuesday when he does get his debut, it'll be a late change. having said that i'm not so sure if this is his week.

 

[Jobdog]

Someone I was talking to made a good point RE: Aku. We may as well play him this week and mark him up against Covell. It won't matter if he misreads anything in defence, cos he'll just run him down anyway :lol:

 

[Adsy]

C'mon Smitty let Taufua stay on that extended bench at the expense of Ciraldo or Wicks.

 

[Jono078]

Heh, I said that Jobdog

I guess it's a fairly predictable team besides for Dureau @ 9 and Gidley back at fullback.

This will be a game where last min changes will happen.

Good to have Simpson back, so in theory this team is better than last weeks

Don't like Houston or Ciraldo on the bench though, I don't think they offer anything as benchies.

 

[macavity]

Houston was fantastic last week.

Taufua in for Wicks and that is almost our strongest available team..

I knew someone did

As for the team being "better" than last week, our opponents are also vastly better than last week's.

I like Whitey, he's a lump of a lad and still young too

 

[Frederick]

still young too

Doesn't look it lol
