First Grade Team - Round 14

[keeney]

I heard it first in my mind. Bailey is all class. He should be top of our re-sign list. Without question.

I've been very impressed with Young this year, and although was annoyed we re-signed him intially, he's proven to be quite handy.

I agree with the Tolar comment wholeheartedly, I know Smith likes size, but we have some very handy players we could play at lock. Tolar lacks the feet to make as good a lock as he does prop.

 

[Burwood]

Yeah, I think Tanner's there because he's an 80min worker. Simmo and Bedsy usually occupy that role, but with them backing up from SOO, they're be a little fatigued if they don't pull out all togethor. It's a smart selection for the balance of the team. I'm very happy with the side named, very confident of a good win.

I'm happy for Tanner to be given a fresh go in 2007 to prove his worth, but that must come close to the overstatement of the year! I strongly doubt he has played three 80 games in his entire NRL career, and he would be lucky to average 25 tackles and 7 hitups per game. He is the king of mediocrity.

 

[~knights~]

I heard on our local news that D.Buderus is in some doubt

It's his 200th game too


not that much has been made of it ?????

 

[keeney]

Considering the Knights generally drum up any players 100 and 200 marks, I'm surprised Danny hasn't gotten anything. I'm glad we have a Monday game, I don't think Bedsy would be any chance otherwise.

 

[Jobdog]

I'd be surprised if Buderus didn't play. Considering he would have had nearly 5 days to recover from Origin, I expect him to lead us out on Monday night

We might even go close to having the side named on Tuesday being the side which runs out on matchday :crazy:

 

[~knights~]

With luke most likely to be ruled out

Smith said Georgie carmont will be promoted from Premierleague

 

[B-dos]

apparently Luke MacDougall is gone for the season.

why brian whyyyyyy? give franze a run! he could not be worse than carmont...

 

[Frederick]

Franze hasn't played the last couple of weeks, so methinks he's injured

 

[CJKnight]

apparently Luke MacDougall is gone for the season.

Where did you hear that? I thought he played well in both his games for us. He will be a big loss if that is the case.

 

[B-dos]

i heard it on the radio this morning.. (sorry cant find a link)

I dont think its certain yet however they did say there was a fair chance he is out for the season.

Preliminary MRI scans suggest the injury is season ending,but a specialist today would provide a conclusive prognosis.

Knights Physician Neil Halpin said "The only area of dispute is whether it's a partial or complete tear.If it's a complete tear,it would need to be repaired surgically ,which would put him out for about 3-4 months.If it's a partial tear,it could possibly be a matter of weeks."
"My gut feeling is that it's not so bad ,but we haven't got all the information."

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Yep and according todays paper George Carmont is the man thats comming in.

You can do it Georgie!

 

[keeney]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo.

 

[Misanthrope]

How has Georgie boy acquitted himself in Premier League?

 

[keeney]

From the reports on here, scarce though they may be, it seemed average was the retrospective (and anticipated) consensus. Real shame Franze is injured.

 

[Prodigiousman]

so is Uate very much in the 2008 basket or has his form been below average in PL?

 

[Jobdog]

I'd still like to think that Aku will get a run in the final half of the year, but I'm starting to think that Smith won't use him until 2008 as a part of the backline which may look like:

1. Kurt Gidley
2. James McManus
3. Wes Naiqama
4. Adam MacDougall
5. Akuila Uate

 

[Misanthrope]

Remove Mad Dog and put Vuna in there, and I'm more impressed.
