We're now sitting in 10th and have a chance to jump to 9th with a win over the warriors.

Huge game

What a weird season. Losing 5 in a row and face the spoon to suddenly being top 8 in a matter of days. Good times

listened to an interview with Glasby, he said the start to the season although disappointing is not entirely surprising given the amount of new players and new coaching systems being put in place this season vs some clubs where the roster and/or systems have remained the same for a few seasons now. All the top clubs have remained fairly stable for a number of years....guess we just have to ride the up's and downs until we click.

 

[Matt23]

I'm actually tipping us for a strong performance here, I reckon us by 8 (26-18)

 

[PhilGould]

Ramien ruled out.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Ramien ruled out.

Well that sucks.

 

[Yosh]

Ramien ruled out.

Moga? Or Watson to centre and Lino comes in? Mann to centre?

Depth is pretty good to be honest.

 

[PhilGould]

Sione to centre and Mann onto the bench most likely.

 

[TooheysNew]

Sione to centre and Mann onto the bench most likely.

What's that based on? I wouldn't have thought that was likely at all.

 

[PhilGould]

What's that based on? I wouldn't have thought that was likely at all.

Not sure what else they could do? Unless Mann goes straight into the centres.

 

[slotmachine]

That's what I would be doing

Moga injured knee last week. Only minor but they're being cautious

I don't want to be that guy but it seems his knee is gonna stop him from being a long term NRL player...

 

[Knight Vision]

got glass knees poor bugger. I wouldnt re-sign him. Using the assault charge as an excuse to rip up his contract would have been tempting. Pointless having that much of the salary cap on the sidelines.

Random on Facebook says Klemmer out with quad strain.....any truth to this?
