Match Discussion: Round 11 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium

[NoSchitSherlock]

Hopefully throwing young players into a terrible side before they're ready works better than it did under Brown.

At least they often bring enthusiasm.

 

[Haffa]

Fitzgibbon adds absolutely nothing of value.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

I think there’s likely to be a few changes before kickoff but the reality is that we don’t have many fit players to choose from either.

Obviously it would be good to see Tuala dropped, I don’t know much about Sisagi but worth giving him a go. I would even be sort of ok with Shibs coming back in, at least he runs harder than Tuala and is a bigger body who is physical in defence.

Also I think Jones in for Fitz would be good.

 

[PhilGould]

Bradman ruled out with a hamstring strain

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

f**k me dead.. Can't things go our way just ONCE??

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Haha Best out now too

Comical. Absolutely comical

 

[Yosh]

Does that mean Shiba 'feet for hands' Saki get a run this week?

 

[Loose Cannon]

Probably Tuala to left centre. That guy just can’t perform poor enough to miss out.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Does that mean Shiba 'feet for hands' Saki get a run this week?

Nah id wager Tuala keeps his spot and Sasagi to left centre

 

[Burwood]

The way we’ve been playing, Best won’t be much of a loss- just whack Jones in there and use him to take the 2nd or 3rd hit up when we’re stuck in our own 20.

 

[Tom155]

Mann > Centre
Green > #6
Best & Shiba drop out

 

[aqua_duck]

Mann > Centre
Green > #6
Best & Shiba drop out

That team is legitimately depressing

 

[Bartwah]

Replace Tuala with Sasagi and that’s about the best we can run out with at this stage. Quietly confident, somebody slap me

 

[Loose Cannon]

Just in case anybody fails to realise Shibasaki’s value (he with an option in his favour), observe the quality of our selected backline.

 

[Willie Ray]

so just more of the same then....

 

[Jono078]

I know a few of us were keen to see what Mann could do as a centre, we’ll here’s his chance.

 

[Yosh]

At least we got Mann out of centre. Green Hopefully is abut more fit than he was before but doubt it. I'd give Barnett a run at 5/8th. Best playmaker in the team.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Best being out again is basically the story of the last 20 years of this club. We finally get a guy in the centres who could be a once in a generation player and he is literally injured every second week.

This season has just gotten worse and worse. This could be a proper flogging at the hands of a mid-table team. I’m expecting us to be even more of an embarrassment after tomorrow night.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

I'd just like to look forward to a game with the anticipation that we will put on a great show and maybe win.
It's at the point where I'm looking forward to the game but there's no real excitement.
It's like a weekly therapy session that gets you nowhere.

I wonder if we are pushing them too hard to keep them on the field or if the players, themselves, aren't disclosing the full extent of their injuries.
Hunt should have never been back so soon.
Yeah, other clubs have injuries but our situation seems to be a lot of rinse and repeat.
