Lomu or Russo

personally I think he was the only forward we had that tried anything creative, but his hands let him down.
You wait till peachey, vagana, and sullivan start following him up, those offloads will win us games.

for who SS?

i think we are stuck with the nrls slowest front row

the backs are where the axe needs to be weilded

Galloway into the starting lineup for Gallen who will miss the next 4 weeks with a dislocated elbow.

I'd like to see Russo get a go this week and Lomu has another shot from the bench. His handling was woeful, but he did make some very strong runs and made some good meters.

Replace McGoldrick with anyone.

From a non supporter perspective I think Lomu doesn't serve his paycheck from the starting line-up. He is a n impact player and IMO would be better suited from the bench.

Russo would be a perfect replacment. An 80 minute player with a good work ethic.

I was very concerned about Lomu after watching his GF appearence last year. 3 dropped balls in almost as many minutes then taken off the feild.
at least he's is consistent.

I can't work that out Reefy, he was an Aussie schoolboy captain, impressed people at Melbourne, impressed people in the trials but can't get a start in PL. He must have a niggling injury.

Or everyone is playing better than we think & he can't make the squad.
apparently the PL forwards were awesome last week. It was the backs that lost the game for them. Namely Franze & Simmons.

I thought the forwards were great last Saturday.
Except for Gallen & he's gone.
I alos think Bosnich will start off the bench for Sullivan, giving him two possible roles.

I thought he was ineffective, even though he tried hard.
But, ill discipline that has him injured & in judiciary trouble.

Exactly McSharkie.

If you have a copy of it have a look again at the Tiger's first set of six after their first try. They make 60 metres without even thinking about it. Hit it up one off the ruck for 5 tackles and you're there.

Then when we get the ball we make 30-35, and the majority of those comes from second phase play behind the advantage line after being thrown about all over the place looking for someone who doesn't have a defender in his face.

That pretty much sums it up for me. You've got a guy out there like Beattie, who should by all means be terrorising everyone is his path and he can't get over the advantage line.

He's my nomination for on the block at the Den Survivor this week.
Anyone care to form an alliance? :D
