Interesting that Lovett retains his spot, Marsters & Eisenhuth must be getting close.

 

[Clifferd]

I'd rather Marsters over Lovett

Heck even Chee Kam...or Edwards...or Einsenuth

How the f**k does this bloke keep getting picked?

Does he supply the rack to the coaching staff or something?

 

[Vic Mackey]

lol f*ck

lucky ill be working and likley miss most of the game

 

[benched tiger]

Lovett,its like playing with a man down for 80 minutes,he offers absolutely zero impact.

 

[BrotherJim05]

Let's see if I can go 5/5

 

[Tiger05]

BJ - well played but Edwards is back in there. I think this is going to be tough for us.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Can Lolohea kick goals? Who else is a goal kicker?

See that Marsters, Eisenhuth & Rankin all listed to play NSW Cup on Friday night so assume they'd be no chance anyway of being in the 17, Chee-Kam isn't listed to play on Friday night though.

 

[macnaz]

Yeah Lolo is a goal kicker.

 

[Clifferd]

Yeah Lolo is a goal kicker.

Better than Moses is to boot aswell, higher success %

 

[Dragons 09]

I think you blokes should rest Teddy

 

[Vic Mackey]

I think you blokes should rest Teddy

NSW Teddy isnt the same as Tigers Teddy atm

i wouldnt be too worried

 

[Clifferd]

I think you blokes should rest Teddy

He'll play like a busted arsehole against you guys don't worry

 

[Dragons 09]

LOL. Yeah, I hear what you are saying. It's freaking frustrating when week in and week out some players perform at a certain level and the come SOO, they rise to another level and leave you wondering why they can't do that for their club every week. I reckon some of these players should have to pay their respective clubs a "non performance tax" for moments like that.
Anyway, look forward to the game and particularly the battle between Vaughan and Woods. I think Vaughan will have a point he wants to prove and Woods will know it's coming.....should be interesting to watch how it unfolds.

 

[Tiger Ted]

The slowest player in the Saints team will run past him without a finger laid on him.

He no longer gives us the X Factor in attack.

The money hungry Scrooge will want to ensure he doesn't get injured so as not to jeopardise the additional money he desperately needs for playing origin.

Vaughan v the over-rated soft cock Woods is a huge mismatch in the eyes of everyone except Daley & Sterling.

 

[Radical Rat]

Geez I reckon you blokes are off the mark with Tedesco. He still busts his arse for us every week. He couldn't have given anymore in our last game. The fact is we're just a rubbish team at the moment.

Not denying he isn't trying unlike the shitbag who went to parra but he's made some very poor defensive reads & isn't as threatening in attack as he is capable of.

There's not a fullback in the comp that wouldn't struggle a bit with a pack getting monstered and a different halves combo every week. Hopefully with Lolohea here there will be some stability and he'll get back to his best for the rest of the year.

Who even cares though, I'm so disillusioned with the whole thing.

I share the same sentiment re disillusionment.I can't deny it doesn't suck that the 2 standout players last nite ought to b on our books for the next 5 yrs.

Without the moronic decision to let a talented Fifita go to Cronulla they'd still b searching for there first premiership.
