Just a quick question does anyone know if Wes Tillott is the same bloke who played for Souths around 2004?

 

[roopy]

Karawana in the second row is interesting.
I thought he was playing there last week but wasn't sure.

If that backline shows up we should go alright.

Parra are going pretty ordinary.

 

[CJG 182]

Marv in the 11....?
weird...

 

[Macca616]

Roopy - is steel injured? or rotated out?

 

[roopy]

Roopy - is steel injured? or rotated out?

He signed for a French side last week - i haven't heard - but he might be flying over India as we speak.

 

[KniGhTs BaTTLeR]

Can't believe Franze is still in PL. Should be getting a chance in Firsts for sure.

 

[Macca616]

Thanks

 

[Frederick]

Dude, we've been over this over and over again - we've spent our entire cap for this year. No more players will debut for us

 

[roopy]

On the positive side from last week - I thought Terrence had one of his best games since early in the season.
He did some of the best tackles i've seen from him and had a very high workrate - and his dummy half running was dangerous as well.

 

[Burwood]

Dude, we've been over this over and over again - we've spent our entire cap for this year. No more players will debut for us

So he is definitely in the second-tier salary cap?

 

[roopy]

the team could actually do with a bit of Reyno this week - pity he is having a sulk.

 

[Jono078]

Awsome team!

Although nevero heard of Tillott?

Karawana played his best when he was in the 13 at the Dogs.

I really dont see him as a 5/8th. Maybe a Centre though.

 

[macavity]

surely there cant be two Wes Tillots running around...

 

[Spike]

It's the same Tillott. Has been playing for the Scorpians this year in the real NRL after being cut from Manly last year. Played for Souths and Norths before that.

 

[roopy]

It's interesting that our PL side is suddenly full of PL 'journeymen' as the finals approach - and coach Robinson was a PL journeyman till two years ago.

Guys like Hession, Thurston, Hunt, Steel, Franze, Tilot, are all guys who love making a living playing league but are probably never going to get rich doing it - and coach Robinson lived that life for several years.

 

[Spike]

Living in denial I guess. Particularly Hession, f*ck this guy is a hack.

 

[roopy]

Living in denial I guess. Particularly Hession, f*ck this guy is a hack.

if they are doing it for the money they are probably making terrible career choices - and you could probably say that spending the best years of your life chasing the 'field of dreams' is pretty stupid - but hey, they can sniff being on tele on grandfinal day right now.

Thanks Spike thought it would be.
