tim is the standin for gidley or mcmanus?
housten to lock???
interesting

 

[Jono078]

Weird as, can't remember Smith really giving a working formula a big of a change up like that?

 

[Jobdog]

A few surprises there. Rogers only had the flu, so you'd think he'd be right to go for this weekend. Lulia benched, Houston to lock and Hilder to the bench. Don't think that will be the side that runs out on Sunday. Wouldn't surprise me to see House push up to front row, Hilder start at lock, and Wicks off the bench.

 

[Pika]

Crazy stuff

 

[otori]

That side is remarkably different from last week especially the bench. Not a copy and paste with regards to the SOO boys coming back. Wicks starting is a big move.

 

[knights girl]

no rodgers and scotts at 7..........i'm happy!! go scotty.

 

[Rolla]

Will be plenty of changes. Safe to say we wont enter the game with Marv, Hilder, and Ndaira on the bench so it looks as though we will see timmy play. lulia Should make way barring injury. i would hate to be an opposition coach trying to make a gameplan....its like smithy got a heap of names and put them in a blender. rogers should be fit too so id expect to see him play in the 20 to mix it up even further.

 

[roopy]

The last time we started with a team stacked for impact we blew the Roosters off the park.

What a terrible collection of football players. I hope we play ok cos i want 50 this week. but they arent in the top 8 so we might struggle lol.

 

[Spike]

Bench is a litttle on the light side. I would expect a reshuffle or at least Natusch to get promoted to the bench

 

[Alex28]

no rodgers and scotts at 7..........i'm happy!! go scotty.

LOL...as if that is the team that will run on the field. Don't get too excited...

 

[Misanthrope]

God, that Parramatta side looks like a Western Suburbs side out of 1999 :lol:

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Our lineup is the best it has been in weeks because lulia is not named in the starting line up.

Wicks starting is a good idea, has been in awesome form, that teams looks like smithy is planning to blow the eels out of the game after 20 minutes.

 

[macavity]

jinx the lot of you.

 

[roopy]

Time to stop talking about jinxes.

We are the real deal - luck has nothing to do with it.

 

[BG]

The last time we started with a team stacked for impact we blew the Roosters off the park.

In fact, as named, it's the same forwards/bench as we ran with for the Roosters, with the exception of Taufua starting instead of Fass and Hous instead of Hilder.

 

[Liam]

1. Gidley (c)

Agreed. Sick of people speaking of cursed threads, jinxed posts and wood touching.

It's borderline Karmawave level annoying.
