Out....Out....Out....Out

[Ribs]

Barrett, Thommo, Head, Long

Why do they insist with this crap about naming them when they obviously werent going to play? This is week three of the Barrett bullsh*t.

I hope it has nothing to do with the announcment of a full house at WIN this afternoon.

Barrett out of Origin contention
May 13, 2004

ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA skipper Trent Barrett has been ruled out of Saturday's NRL game against the Bulldogs, ending his hopes of playing in the opening State of Origin game.

Barrett was named in a 30-man preliminary NSW squad on Monday despite missing the past three games with a hamstring injury.

However, he needed to play this weekend to prove his fitness ahead of Origin I at Telstra Stadium on May 26.

Melbourne's Scott Hill is now likely to wear the No.6 jersey for the Blues in the opening Origin game, strengthening Brett Kimmorley's claims to play halfback.

The pair, former teammates at Melbourne, rekindled their partnership in Friday night's City-Country game at Gosford Stadium.

Hill was named man of the match and Kimmorley impressed as Country won 22-18.

Barrett will be joined on the sidelined for Saturday's match by experienced forwards Lance Thompson (shoulder) and Nathan Long (knee) and halfback Mathew Head (rib).

Thompson was also named in the preliminary NSW squad on Monday but will miss his final chance to impress Blues selectors before Origin I.

Coach Nathan Brown named a six-man bench and will add another player from Premier League.

Shaun Timmins is likely to play five-eighth in Barrett's absence

Jeez i hope they had back up players training in case something like this was going to happen.

If we play like we did last week than u guy's will put 40+ on us...Dog's gotta go out there with a positive attitude and be ready to face a fired Dragons side.

Should be a great game. Both teams coming off a loss and desperate for a role on.The loss of those 4 players will make no difference to the way we are going to go out there and play.

We cant afford to go out there and have that in our mind's we need to play smart,Tactical Football like we did against the Broncos.

If folkse is Smart he will have Mason Coming off the bench and have Scott starting but that's just my opinion.

Hoping to see a great game with alot of up and in your face kinda football.

Should be a cracker

Cheers...

1. Hornby
2. Carlaw
3. Gasnier
4. Cooper
5. Simmonds
13. Timmins
20. Russell
19. Jensen

Here we go again. We have a great start and then injury ruins our year. We will get a deadset touch up this week.

 

[Southernsaint]

Saints vs C*nterbury games are always huge no matter who's playing or where the teams are on the ladder...

Saints have plenty of injuries but there's nothing we can do about that this weekend. Play a mistake-free game & Saints will go a long way to beating the Pool Boys...

Cheers,

What I dont get is the bullsh*t early in the week about Head's injury only being a muscle problem and that his ribs were fine, Barrett is consistently listed and then pulls out again. Thommo is confident then he is gone. And whats wrong with Long now???

Whats going on?

[Biglance]

people wat about gorrell at hooker and riddell second row keeping kite in the front row and young and 2nd.

my bench would be withers poore sims palu/norrie

 

[Ribs]

I dont think Id like to have both Withers and Gorrell in. They both seem to play similar roles. I thought Withers tried far too hard to spark something last week and it was costly.

While Withers has been going ok, he is still a potential liability and his kicking game sux. Maybe try Gorrell instead of Withers but I want the Pig in the Number 9, and starting the game.

Will at least make Anasta nervous ;-)
