[The Colonel]

Parramatta fullback Wade McKinnon (shoulder) and interchange back Adam Dykes (ribs) will need late fitness tests for the Parramatta Stadium assignment against the Warriors tomorrow night.

 

[Twizzle]

in other wors they are out, as we expected

 

[ParraMatt]

damn, Ahhh well.

 

[Eelementary]

Hmm...

So what does it mean?

* Burt to fullback
* Petersen and Graham to wings
* O'Dwyer and Widders to centre (though I think Deano is 100x better of the bench)

OR

* Anderson to fullback
* Burt to centre with O'Dwyer
* Graham and Pertersen on wings

 

[The Colonel]

Joel Reddy perhaps?

O'Dwyer would be the most likely IMO.

That would be most interesting... Although I did hear that we were very close to our second tier cap...?

But Reddy at fullback would do fine. Because then we could have O'Dwyer and Burt at centres, with our wingers unchanged. It would disrupt our backline less than moving Burt to fullback, especially with both Langi and Smith unavailable.

 

[Hurriflatch]

Well, Langi was named so maybe the article a couple of days ago actually meant Langi will be gone at the end of the year.

If Langi plays but McKinnon doesn't
4. Burt
2. Graham
3. Langi
19. O'Dwyer
5. Petersen

If Langi AND McKinnon both don't play
4. Burt
20. Anderson
2. Graham
19. O'Dwyer
5. Petersen

If McKinnon plays but Langi doesn't
1. McKinnon
2. Graham
19. O'Dwyer
4. Burt
5. Petersen

 

[COACH STERLING]

I would consider playing Eric Grothe. Surely he is over his injury by now, If we win that will put us only 2pts out of the eight . I know we are looking towards next season, but this year isn't over yet and players are paid to play not watch from the sidelines.

 

[BD5733]

After seeing Reddy vs the Sharks in PL lat week, I dont think he is anywhere near ready for first grade. Especially vs a huge Warriors pack.

Last week he looked way out of his depth in premier league.

 

[True EEL]

you would think now that Ben Smith is out injured O'Dwyer would have to figure in calculations somehwere this week? or perhaps try big Feleti in the centres

 

[The Colonel]

Given they have Toopi on the wing and Vinnie Anderson at centre you would think we'd need some size. We can only wait and see I suppose

 

[True EEL]

exactly, but that is why i would test Feleti in the centres??

 

[The Colonel]

exactly, but that is why i would test Feleti in the centres??

Only problem is his size may be exploited by Leuluai, Hohaia, Jones etc. Its one of those things I think - good to try but may not have the results we want. Despite his size O'Dwyer is a good defender.

 

[Twizzle]

Ash Graham played full back pretty well last year.

Then Anderson can take over his wing spot.

 

[Eelementary]

Put O'Dwyer and Wagon in the centres - that takes care of our defense in the centres.

Then put Mateo in at lock and watch him taunt the Kiwiws.

 

[AlexTheEel]

Langi is available. The article meant that he would not be with us next season.

 

[Misty Bee]

Ash Graham...nooooooooooo!

 

[Avenger]

Ash Graham...nooooooooooo!

Agree 100%.

Spoke to Eric after the game and he won't be back this year.

 

[Suitman]

Ash Graham...nooooooooooo!

Agree 100%.

If its possible to agree with something 200%, then thats me.

Suity
