Next 5

[shadowboxer]

If you want your players going to the next level then you have to hope they get picked for rep teams.

I’m not a fan of Origin any more and would personally rather they miss out, but you want to go long dong in the semis - you’ve got to get some pressure and can’t beat Origin for the bigger game.
The team are in a positive position currently, but means bugger all at season end

 

[Quigs]

Still a long way till September.

 

[chewsta]

Best is now out with a hamstring tear. Ramiens chances are looking pretty good now.

Best is now out with a hamstring tear. Ramiens chances are looking pretty good now.

He's got to be NIL surely if not first choice but I'm of course bias. He's been amazing this year. If NSW win the series on the back of a few Sharkies, imagine what that does for the entire squad, the club, sponsers etc etc

 

[Dragon Slayer]

If Burton aka Dr Doolittle is selected then "us" Blues are in more trouble then I originally thought.

Who are you partnering Nicho with Quigs?

 

[Dragon Slayer]

I think Nicho, McInnes and Ramien all get picked.

I know there has been talk of Tommy but I really do think he needs another year.

Why ? Who is better ?

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Why ? Who is better ?

I wouldn’t say anyone is better for the minutes he would get.

But for a prop I think he just needs a season of first Grade footy under his belt.

SOO footy is another level fast and I feel he might not be up to that speed just yet.

 

[Frenzy.]

Why ? Who is better ?

At SOO level there'd be Haas, both Saifitis, Jake Trbojevic, RCG, Paulo.

Then in the category of as good as are Terrell May, Mitch Barnett, Spencer Leniu, Stefano Utoikamanu.

If Madge wants a 10-15 minute bench prop then Lurch would be a chance.

 

[Stake Removed]

For him just to be in discussion is great.

Next year when they have that start of season camp he will be in that for sure.

If we keep going how we are there will be a stack of our players in camp.

Fitz is a big one for them to play rep footy, I think this year Fitz would be saying Madge knows what he is doing this is not Fittler being involved.

Also Hannay gets benefit of coaching with Slater.

I don't like origin but if we can benefit from it in players and coaches then I put up with it

 

[Quigs]

I will consider my honest assessment of this years State of O at the completion of the 3rd game and how many players .... (no I am not joining the jonah group) ... I will leave it there.

I don't give two shits about SOO nowadays as it is nothing like it was and how it was promoted zonks ago.

Yep hasn't interested me since Wally was a wanker. It's like the Melbourne Cup...for the once a year punters.

How about those next 5 games hey.

 

[bluefox68]

In this bracket of 5 games, so far we are:
1 win
3 losses
The last game is Bulldogs, and they would surely have to be favourites after what we have dished up…

Our right side needs to stand up, and win the battle, seems to be a few players there starting to struggle

Which ones? Nikora perhaps. He seems to struggle when his halfback is missing. Struggled without SJ and has struggled since Nicho has been injured.

 

[bluefox68]

Bench selection will be interesting this afternoon…

 

[bluefox68]

So, our first 5 games: 4-1
Then: 5-0
Our last 5: 1-4

Next we have:

Titans
Tigers
Cowboys
Rabbitohs
Titans

If we don’t go at least 4-1, we’re kidding ourselves…

 

[Griffoshark66]

I think 3/5. We'll lose to cows and one tit.

Didn't someone way something similar 5 weeks ago?
Every one of those sides has the ability to beat us if we don't have a marked improvement in attitude and effort.
