Interchange:

1. Andrew Price
2. Clint Newton
3. Blake Mueller
4. Reegan Tanner

Anthony Quinn returns from injury. Josh Perry returns from suspension. Ben Kennedy returns from injury. Matt parsons has put off his back operation for a week. I think Kurt Gidley will be cleared to play sometime during the week, which will mean he will play halfback, Buderus will go back to hooker, and Quigley will replace Tanner on the bench. I think the home ground advantage and the never say die attitude of Ben Kennedy, Blake Mueller and Matt Parsons will see us home in this game.

I noticed Trent Estatheo named on the bench in the premier league side so there's a bit more depth back.

I think the Premier League team has a very strong look about it this week, and will only get stronger as more players come back for the top side.

We have Gavin Quinn, Todd Bates and Mathew Kennedy back from firstgrade - Trent Esatheo back from injury and Michael Young, Luke Mercer and Riley Brown up from Jersey Flegg.
Dean Amos should be playing better every week, Luke Mercer needs to make an impression, Trent Esatheo will be dead keen to impress everyone and Quinn, Kennedy and Bates will want to keep their names fresh in the mind of the firstgrade coach.
Souths have had mixed form with 2 wins and 2 losses. One of their wins was over the team running third.
I think we have the team to beat anyone except the top sides this week. I think we will get our first win.</span>

<span>One guy who is missing from the team is Luke Dureau, who had a great game and scored two tries last week against Newtown. The reason Luke is missing is because the Knights have drafted seven players into the lower placed clubs in the Newcastle comp., which means Dureau will be playing halfback for Waratah-Mayfield against Lakes. To me this could only mean that Dureau is being given a shot at impressing at halfback. Dureau has always wanted to play halfback but has never been able to push the coaches little fair haired boy, Tyrie, out of the spot. In the games Dureau has played at halfback I like him more than Tyrie because he is a more instinctive player. Tyrie works hard at being a playmaker and is in everything all game. You can see by the way the coach goes to him after every game that everything he does is done under instructions, which he no doubt carries out perfectly. On the other hand, Dureau does far less work as a playmaker, but he sees things unfold in front of him and puts in kicks and passes that just about always come off. Tyrie might just be more able to perform the different skills of the game, but Dureau has the knack of making simple things work.</span>

We didn't play well without Johns, but had far too many guns for South Sydney. It is always great to watch Walker being humiliated by everyone from the umpire to the ballboy. What a goose.

Thought it'd be ok to ask this here instead of opening up a new thread. Whens Woolnough due back &amp; will he walk straight back into the starting line-up?

 

[imported_Roopy4246]

He probably would come straight into the starting lineup now that Parsons is out (he has only played off the bench so far this season), but it looks like he won't be back for this week. He has one of those niggling neck injuries that is not responding to treatment, so it is hard to say when he will play. Each week they say he should be right next week, but they have been wrong in that twice already now.

Thanks.

Now if they'd just let him come &amp; play with Morris again...
