SKD will be out for at least 3 more weeks, by the way his nickname is Skid not SKD

Fair enough mate.

Skid mark, NZ backpacker, SKD or f**k Stick I dont care what hes called as long as the big wally gets back, I miss his uncanny x-men freakishness.

I wouldn't mind seeing Rudder replace Mason for a match.......


Also wouldn't mind seeing Kenny-Dowall take on Cronulla, if it happens. Could be interesting.

.. and dropped balls for that matter Stsae. I love how he gets pissed off at himself in his own Kiwi way when he makes a stupid mistake. Ah but I love him. :)

Watching him is like an emotional rollercoaster every game.

Reminds me of a young Minni in that way, you never know whats gonna happen, but something will happen.

He has a personality to his play.

Who do we stick in the centres mate, without Maubs???? FFS we cant rely on Soli anymore, see hes in the top 10 missed tackles this year, and that is supposed to be his assett.

I've been noticing for 2-3 yrs straight that he constantly misses tackles

He pulls off some great hits, just rushes out of the line and misses badly sometimes.

His lateral movement is not what it was, he did have a pretty bad injury though, so I guess thats natural.

He probably is a forward but we are soooooo skinny out wide we dont have the options.

Sometimes I feel for the bloke imagine having to mark Inglis, Falou, Gasnier, Hodges, Jennings etcetcetc?????? 1 on 1 with those sorta blokes he must have nightmares.

I agree with Pillow and Dancing Dallas, LOL.

Mackster left SKD out too, methinks hes pissed or something, not his usual standard.:crazy:

Wasnt Friend injured????

Pearce at hooker, you almost got me to bite, then it clicked who im talking to, maaaaaaaaate.

Id stick with Leroy Brown. Straight up and down but will not go backwards, very determined player in my opinion. Jaubs/Friend bench to cover hooker and 1/2s.

OR we just get Jaaaaaaamie back???:p

Ben Jones looked like he has a future in 1sts. Would have like to see him at dummy 1/2, WTF was Freddy doing????

:lol::lol:

Jamie has more tools in his bag of tricks than the pretender.

Maubs is doing ok but would struggle to penetrate a tub of yoghurt, you have to have more weapons in the arsenal out wide than that, the outside backs and half have been much more of a problem than our forwrd pack, check the stats from sat night and forwars won the battle our clueless outside backs were the problem, you just never feel confident at any stage when teams are in our 20.

I see maubs as a hooker, but he must fifgt the pretender for that role.

Ben Jones will be a star, play the kid at 7

Your a better man than most, he was injured for just over a year, we are much too quick these days to hammer a bloke returning from injury.

Monas was the same started great bad knee injury came back in very ordinary form, was bagged from pillar to post, when finally fully fit at the backend of last season was back to his best, has continued that form with the raiders.

Jamies side did well without him the other night, maybe hes surplus to requirements???? I did hear comment Gaz and Cooper looked like centres and saw the ball. Dont know if theres a connection there but I got the dig thats what was being hinted. Cant say I agree, but its a valid observation.

Maubs is a mile ahead of Soli at the moment. I was stunned to see Soli pop up in the top 10 missed tackles this year, cos defence was always his thing. I understand the injury situation, but realistically do you reckon hed survive if Sa was 100% and the forwards all fit???? I reckon hed get the cut, just purely on form. Sadly we have zero depth and 3 backrowers cover the 2 spots.

Maubs to 9, it would ONLY be as a stop gap, shoulda tried i6t on Fri, left Pearce at 1/2 and stuck Jones into 3, its where he played anyway.

Why doesnt Jones play at 7 in the lower grades???? I see him playing at 3 alot??? I reckon hes a 9 personally, just the build and good defence, very Pingesque.

Across the road is this poxy little park called Harold Pearce Park. I swear if we win the GF me and you will be there with the spray can changing Harold to Mitchell. Im making you do the deed, I know you will love it.:p

I have no fears, with the pretender at 7, we will be nowhere near a grand final victory, the closest we will come is watching the game from Foxtels corporate box where all his "biggest fans" and dads buddys will be lauding how was unlucky to miss the kangaroos squad.

Apparently his doona at home is made up of press clippings so he can read them before he goes to bed.

Benny Jones was a schoolboy star in the halves, its got me stuffed why he has played at centre, but yes he has the ideal build for a hooker, has a wonderful short and long kicking game, passes well eith side and can really hit in defence, he burried inglis and falou on more than one occasion on friday.

Im still unsure on maubs, he is clearly not a centre, he is the heir apparent to fitzy.

I think soli has ben put in an awkward position, our 2 wingers cannot tackle period, even my mate skid mark is prone to making the wrong secion, soli in recent weaks has been forced to rush in because teams people us out wide.

Maybe move soli to the wing ala vateuvi from the warriors.

Dont fear though we have the centre we need playing toyota cup, Ryan Williamson will be a superstar, big strong, hole running, tackle busting, hard hitting, fleet footed kid.

On the Jamie issue, why would you listen to those fools on nine, he has won them more games this season than any other, it was only a month ago they were attributing coopers return to form to Jamies move to 5/8.:roll::roll:

Hornby is the problem, not a halfbacks ring hole, even worse than our bloke:lol:

My holiday is confirmed, i will be there mr backwards, but if we are not in the grand final it is you who will be changing the statues name and painting a picture of a penis on its forehead.:lol::lol:

Dally is that you mate? You do realise Mitchell Pearce is 19 right? He is the best we have at this time, so giving him all this game time now will pay huge dividends in the next few years. Sure he is having a rough patch now, but it was always going to happen at some stage the way he started off the year we were all jumping with joy that we had finally found a half back.

Andrew Johns has said he will be Australian halfback within the next 3 years or so. Personally I think that may be a bit too soon but he will definantly play for them within the next 5.

Soliola can't jump, catch, and has no speed how can he play on the wing?

Is there any video footage I can see of Williamson? And more importantly is he fast?

True, what was I thinking? What kind of moron would give a 19 year old halfback with all the potential in the world another chance to prove him self? :sarcasm:

*remembers Anderson dropped him last year after a few losses* Ahhh there is your answer.

Funny youve got them all on the run here, most of them shouldve worked out who theyre speaking to by now. Love ya work mate.:lol:
