he was labeled the best prospect the kiwi's had at halfback for a long time before his discpline got the better of him.

What is it with Kiwis and discipline? The same line keeps being trotted out for Mateo. I'm surprised he's in his mid 20s and still hasn't got an NRL berth yet. Is his discipline that bad or does he simply not have the talent? If he does why can the coaching staff never see what you guys see? The warriors need some halves badly so I'm surprised he didn't leave for there if he isn't overrated and does have the talent.

The NZ coach actually called him last week and has stated to him that he will be a surprise guest on Friday Night so I wish him all the best and I hope he is given a chance.

I don't know, he appeared to have shot his career in the foot at every club he's been and i'm pretty sure he's been at a few.

Jeremy is an arrogant lair- apat form Piggy Brian doesnt seem to like that. Sometime a team needs that type of guy- esp a team thats down in cofidence. Look, i'd give him a shot for sure, but i'm not so sure Brian will- infact i'd bet against it.

Well, come to think about it, not many of our guys are arrogant. The only one I can really think of (besides Piggy) is possibly PJ.

Jamie was a bit arrogant to but it could be more confidence than arrrogance.

IMO likely team

1. Wade
2. Burt
3. Delaney
4 Tahu
5. Grothe
6. Wagon
7. T. Smith
8. Stringer
9. Morris
10. Tsolous
11. Hindy
12. Zeb
13. Chad

14. Marcus Perenara or Jeremy Smith
15. Widders
16. Caylo
17. Fui

Led to believe :- PJ (no hope of recovery) , Morro (no hope of recovery) & Chalky ( 4 - 6 weeks).

Brian Smith sit up and take notice. I have the game plan.

Rotation system:

15 min : off Stringer & JT
on Caylo, Fui


props: Caylo & Fui
hooker: Morris
2nd row: Hindy & Zeb
lock: Chad
5/8th: Wagon

25min : off Fui & Chad
on JT & Deano


props: JT & Caylo
hooker: Morris
2nd row: Hindy & Zeb
lock: Deano
5/8th: Wagon

30min : off Caylo & Wagon (Perenara & Morris to share 5/8th - hooker)
on Stringer & Perenara


props: Stringer & JT
hooker: Morris
2nd row: Hindy & Zeb
lock: Deano
5/8th: Perenara

Half time : 6 interchanges

..........................................................

10 min : off Stringer & JT
on Caylo, Chad


props: Caylo & Chad
hooker: Morris
2nd row: Hindy & Zeb
lock: Deano
5/8th: Perenara

20min : off Morris & Deano
on Fui, & Wagon


props: Fui & Caylo
hooker: Perenara
2nd row: Hindy & Zeb
lock: Chad
5/8th: Wagon



30min : off Fui & Caylo
on Stringer & JT


props: JT & Stringer
hooker: Perenara
2nd row: Hindy & Zeb
lock: Chad
5/8th: Wagon

Full time : 12 interchanges

Game time:

Stringer: 35min (old bull: also 1/2 time as extra break)
JT: 50min (young bull: also 1/2 time as extra break)
Caylo: 35min (less game time = more impact)
Fui: 20min (impact)
Hindy: 80min (machine)
Zeb: 80min (mini-machine in the making)
Chad: 55min (10min stint up front-versitility)
Deano: 35min (less game time = more impact)
Perenara: 40min (30min 5/8th & final 10min hooker with tired forwards)
Wagon: 50min (defence around the middle & help out Timmy)
Morris: 60min (at hooker)

Touch wood no injuries to backline or else all this is a f**king waste of time. Thank god for Hindy and mini Hindy (Zeb).

Oh yeh I have too much time don't I. The wife keeps telling me that anyway.

PLEASE, oh PLEASE put Burty in for Muzza!

Burt may not be perfect, but at least he has a spark in attack and some genuine pace!

the trick is to keep rotating the props IMO. They definately have the goods but unfortunately only in short bursts. Wrong end of their careers. Use them well and we will see the rewards.

Wasn't Jeremy Smith's early season form bad? Has he been playing better recently?

If so, he NEEDS to be our number 6. We're struggling in attack, because we have little falir - we just can't put our opponents away.

What if we scored one or two tries MORE against the Cowboys? What if the score was 20-6 or 26-6 at half-time, instead? Perhaps we could ahve gone on with the job...

Also, we need form forwards.

He's just having a bad trot right now. Last year he was touted as a possible kangaroo tourist. Some people sure have some short memories.

I have an excellent memory thankyou, I didnt think he was any good last year either.
as for Kangaroo tourist...please....he was never close.

Deano hardly comes off. He gets on between 20-25 min mark and usually stays till the end of game
