PREMIER LEAGUE
Coach: David Fairleigh

1. Nathan Hinton
2. Blake Tremain-Cannon
3. James McManus
4. Brad Tighe
5. Trent Salkeld
6. Mitchell Steel
7. Luke Walsh
8. Brendan Worth
9. Matthew Thurston (c)
10. Daniel Tolar
11. Jesse Royal
12. Daniel Abraham
13. Chris Bailey

INTERCHANGE

1. Matthew Kennedy
2. Matthew White
3. Michael Young
4. Luke Quigley
5. Luke Grant
6. Luke Hession

Still no Mullen, why Abraham is still in this side is beyond me and how Tolar is still in this side amazes me. Not a bad side all up, but the halves are obviously still going to be the problem.

 

[antonius]

Abraham has a clause in his contract, something along the lines of his payments next season will depend on how many games he plays this year. That was done because of his poor injury record of late. You would like to think that the club are not using that to get him down on payments next season wouldn't you? They wouldn't be that low would they?

Luke Hession

Mr David Fairleigh, I hope you reading this post. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES No wonder the knights got rid of you, I would of aswell the first time u even mentioned putting mitch steele in the 6 position. I thought it was april fools day when I read that in there again. (he must be a good kisser to get a run on jumper)

 

[Frederick]

I'll be there too - 2 weeks without live football is long enough for me

 

[knights9]

They should just bring up Dureau to premier league his the only other good five-eighth at the club not injured. I dont think we will win this one.

looks like daisy has been listening to hagans theory for to long on what makes a good 5/8. Lack of ball playing ability I hear is near the top of the list somewhere

 

[roopy]

Looks like Uate has been dropped back to Flegg.

That is fair. He will have a whole list of things to work on to improve his game after playing with the big boys.

 

[macavity]

roops, why did we buy hession?

 

[roopy]

roops, why did we buy hession?

The same reason we bought that scruffy looking centre two years ago - because Fairleigh likes to give central coast guys a chance when Sydney clubs don't want them anymore.

 

[roopy]

Kevin Henderson - I had to look that up.

 

[roopy]

Luke Hession, Kevin Henderson, Kurt Hancock - all CC or North Sydney juniors who got a run because Fairleigh has contacts in that part of the world who must have convinced him that they were worth another shot after bombing out from Sydney clubs.

 

[single_newy_chick]

I'll add another one to your list roopy, Luke Grant. He is a cc boy and he only gets arun cos of who his dad was.

It makes me so angry that they would pick over favourites rather than form. DON'T WE WANNA WIN?

 

[The_Joey_Show]

Mullo... next week I assume?

I'm looking at you here JD, you're the one with the 'connections', so to speak...

 

[Jobdog]

Yeh TJS, Mullo is maybe going to be back this week, although he hasn't been named. He was gonna get a protective guard made up by the team doctor and he was going to have a run around using it at the end of the week. He'd then see if he was comfortable playing with it or not. So if he doesn't play this week, next week appears to be a near certainty.

 

[single_newy_chick]

hey jb do you reackon they will give steele the a*s and put mullen back so that he warms up to first grade. Because if he plays with a half good hand against the warriors he could be out for more.

 

[Jobdog]

No matter who Mullo plays against, whether it be PL or first grade, if he goes into the game with a bit of a busted hand, he'll be risking more damage. If he can play with the protective guard, then I would say he will play. Time will tell tomorrow tho. Btw Hinton is out of the side on first grade duties so I'd say Wooden will come up from Flegg.

 

[single_newy_chick]

i think you will see this side change a fair bit. Wooden won't play for PL he is injured. Hinton is in first grade, danny buderus is expected not to play in FG.

SO who do you think they will put at Fullback??????

 

[Frederick]

Salkeld maybe? :?
