[Sydney Knight]

Foran out for season

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Faitala Mariner out with a broken hand too apparently

 

[Loose Cannon]

Not sure Canterbury at full strength is any better. Need to do this mob convincingly. They are terrible.

 

[PhilGould]

Herman and Slade are stuck in Denver with the NZ team and not expected to get back until Wednesday. Could be a problem.

 

[Frederick]

Only would be a problem if we were playing on Thursday.

 

[Yosh]

Is Ponga player? I think that's the only real roster issue to be honest...

 

[Sydney Knight]

Looks like no Woods? Articles on line are saying hes gone to Sharks effective immediately.

yep - I would expect he won't be there this weekend

You would also have to expect that this would limit the Sharks capacity to try and snare Tapau as well, if he does get shopped around

 

[Old dog]

Herman and Slade are stuck in Denver with the NZ team and not expected to get back until Wednesday. Could be a problem.

Hope they make it back and are ok, team for this week I would like to see but doubt it will happen

Would look a lot worse without Klemmer

 

[Noname36]

Is Lachlan Lewis Wally's son from Home and Away?

I think his son’s on Home and Away, it’s his nephew I think in the Dogs side but I could be wrong.

 

[9701]

So how will they look if they beat us, give no credit then get none

 

[Pedge1971]

Dogs look awful but that is the worst fwd pack we will field this year. Every chance they could completely derp this at home...
