[Shredder]

Assuming Ken is out for the week, we might see T'oa to the wing and Garner to center?

I want to see more of T'oa in firsts and I dont hate the idea of Garner defending inside of him.

Though I think if Ken is fit, he plays, he does know how to score a try But I don't see Madge changing this side for at least a few weeks, if they are all fit?

 

[Shredder]

Yeah agreed. I just read something saying Ken brought an injury out of the game.

All Im genuinely hoping for is that the 6 and 7 stay unchanged.

 

[BrotherJim05]

Apart from Malo and Simpkins (who I assume are injured) I doubt anyone will be dropped for this game. Garner will start at centre with To'a on the wing. Liddle will come in for Simpkins no doubt. Hopefully he can lift the same way Simpkins did

 

[cerberus]

we'll get flogged by 40

 

[Tigerm]

So it’s begun, we've got this, us by 8 with Jacko MoM.

Just watched the replay, T'oa looks to have been a good buy for us, where to put him is the problem, a good problem to have though

 

[Vic Mackey]

Maguire surprisingly said both Jake and Ken were fine in the press conference, I do think he says this a lot though. Surely Jake would be 100/1 to play

Really need Liddle to step up if Jake if out

 

[Fordy20]

I wasn't sold on the idea of To'a in the centres, but he had a great knock there yesterday. Having him at centre and Garner on the bench gives us a lot of flexibility in case of injury.

 

[Tigerm]

No change to the team, should be an interesting game, to see if we have changed for the better?

 

[benched tiger]

I would rather fully fit players in our side rather than carrying players with injuries. Maumalo to me doesn’t look like a player that puts in if he is injured.

 

[Fordy20]

Liddle has been announced as coming into the side. Roberts has been dropped with Garner named at centre. Madge still playing ducks and drakes with Gildart and Peachey named at 18 and 19, so there is still time for Ken to pull out, To'a to go to the wing and one id those to come in.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Simpkin is a huge out and Robert’s is a loss too

Adding to this Doeuihi, Stefano, Blore, Talau, Kepeoa and yeah can’t see us doing this. After this week we have 4 games we should be a good chance in though so hopefully come through unscathed.

 

[Tiger05]

It's still a winnable game but we are going to have play out of our skins. We've done that 1 week in 6. We should be expecting a big loss.

We’ve been hammered by injuries.All of these injuries bar Talau who I don’t rate are key outs.We are not a club who can afford to lose key players for any length of time let alone the long term periods we r missing AD Stefano Blore & kepoa.Additionally the 3 game suspension to JH severely hurt us coz I truly believe we’d have won 2 of them(tits & warriors).

What 2 consecutive wins against top tier clubs would do for our self belief & confidence is incalculable.Hence this is a massive game for us re our aspiration to play sept footy.Hope I’m wrong but like you I’m expecting a big loss.

Talau on his own isn’t a massive loss, however by all reports he and Kepeoa were going to be our first choice centers this year. We’re now missing them both plus Roberts which means we are now forced a backrower there.

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

I still feel on a pretty big high after last weeks win tbh.

Not sure what to expect out of tonight, previous history tells us we will go back to old ways and probably get beat 30-10 or something like that, but another part inside of me tells me with Hastings barking orders we can be competitive again

Liddle at dummy half concerns me cause I think he is cooked

 

[WA Tiger]

someone has to do it...us by 12
