Same, same but different.

 

[Diesel]

Massive bench. Expect to see Tupou and Henry punted. Hopefully Carlos to 6, TL to 14

 

[Diesel]

Good to see Neilsen and Locke in the squad

 

[Penrose11]

Matagi was the only one dropped then?? 18th man to 'not even in the 22'. Hurrell must've f**ked up big time as well. Obviosly Elliott can't make the hard calls. What a f'ing joke!!

Yeah this cant be the proper line up because injured Lowrie is named also.

Matagi has to be given a shot now !!

also heard rumours that Sam lousi has been let go by the Warriors to the ESL, truly truly hope it is not true.

 

[vvvrulz]

I'm actually happy with most of that, but am sick of seeing TL being allowed to suck at #6 and Taylor allowed to even be near this team.

Laumape and Hurrell unlucky, I don't mind Henry and Tupou but they're both weaker than the former.

 

[Aragorn]

what an anti-climax.

expect more of the same on Sunday.

 

[Penrose11]

I'm more pissed off now with this team then since any time after we had our arses handed to us on Saturday. Name 17 players!! Drop 3 or 4 dead woods!! Pick 1 or 2 debutants!!

F**K

Dropping henry, Carlos, Taylor, Tupou would've been where I started.

Reported domestic violrnce is honna skyrocket tonight.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

He said on 40/20 that there would be changes, not really seeing much different in that naming

[Micistm]

His call, his fall if it doesn't come off. I wish them well, but really do expect more of the same tbh

 

[Benek]

I'd be OK with that team if Laumape and Hurrell were in for Tupou and Henry. Weird that Lowrie is named when he's injured.

TL has actually been improving slightly over the past few weeks (aside from last game) while SJ has been dropping off. I'll give them until mid-season to try to gel before writing off that pair completely.

Overall, not much change. Can't see why they will perform better if they don't feel like they'll be sacked after those kinds of performances. There needs to be some accountability and consequences in the team selection.

They're almost household names in NSW that lot. I can see tries coming from all over the place. Thank god Hurrell isn't playing, that in-form backline would soon have him backpeddling, and when that happens it aint pretty.

Go easy on Rena tonight Jake.

:alcho:

 

[Meth]

I expect to see Tuimavave, Fisiiahi and Laumape dropped.

 

[spear tackle]

No worries we'll be sweet as, after all they had a "stern talking to" earlier on and maybe Johnson got his explination why he was hooked on Saturday.
I'm sure the message was recieved and they won't go out and make asses of themselves again.

 

[hitman82]

Lowrie and Henry out. Ropati rumoured in.

 

[Penrose11]

Dont know bout lowrie but sounds like henry damaged knee at training yesterday. MRI scans today with ACL problems. Don't know why they'd pick ropati over laumape or hurrell. Uate is gonna have a field day running round and through him

 

[broncos2010]

So lowrie is definitely out,just confirming as I have him in one of my fantasy teams?

Hurrell is very clearly out of favour. Laumape would be my pick. If the Ro comes in, I sincerely hope he's up to it, as I hate seeing a player I like being made to look like a fool.
