Of course there is no Levi...

 

[The Showstopper]

No that's right. he has potential. A big no no here. In fact let us disregard the fact his dummy half service created the points roll we got on Sunday against the best defensive unit going around. We will lose this kid unless we wise up. At least Jake is back where he belongs and Kurt is in the halves.

 

[perverse]

As much as we do look better when he is on, I don't think the right answer is chucking Levi in for big minutes in a shitty, losing team. I think it's less a reward than a punishment playing first grade at the moment, particularly for a young kid that plays in the middle.

 

[Rod]

Yeah agreed, surely Bedsy of all people can see the potential Levi has, they probably don't want to rush him.

I guess the team looks almost as good as we could hope for apart from that. Mamo and Snowden back, Gidley out of fullback, Tapine assured a spot. Tigers have been going pretty well but we might give this game a shake if that's the team that runs out.

Absolutely spot on mate

 

[aqua_duck]

Mataora needs to come on to the bench otherwise it's just way too light

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Well we have conceded about 150 points in 3 weeks, it's likely that trend will continue this week and secure the spoon for us.

This can be the only reason he isnt selected

I think this is the perfect period to give Levi a run and let him play out the end of the season - no pressure to perform, opportunity to get a sense of what the week in/week out FG grind is all about before it happens in the season proper next year, etc.

On the squad though, seems there is some mail that Rochow is pushing to be back in the side this week - pushing Mataora out for him to come in wouldn't be a bad thing ;-)

 

[Loose Cannon]

Tedesco to get 5 tries/assists running at our outside backs. Just not sure if he clocks it up before half time, or after.

 

[Zoidberg]

Positive attitude man, come on!

 

[Loose Cannon]

Positive attitude man, come on!

Ok, after half time.

 

[Zoidberg]

:lol:

 

[Loose Cannon]

I'm gonna claim that one. 9th minute.

 

[League_God]

That was Dane again. Wtf was even doing there?

 

[Noname36]

Well done Gags. Didn't attempt to tackle one of them.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Doesn't take a genius to figure out that the Tigers would exploit our edges today. It's what teams have been doing to us most of the year, it's a guaranteed try every time.

 

[Nuffy]

Just give us the spoon now and the rest of the year off.

 

[League_God]

They're making metres up the centre of the field with absolute ease
