R9 vs Knights

[Buzzard Breath]

I did notice in another thread Kilkenny saw Kingston in a moon boot on the weekend, so I don't know if he is in doubt.
Taylor out for Robinson would be one forced change.

Thoughts on this weekends lineup.

 

[grifter]

Hopefully:

1. Moylan
2. Mansour
3. Idris
4. Whare
5. Simmons
6. Soward
7. Wallace
8. McKendry
9. Segeyaro
10. Plum
11. Manu
12. Robinson
13. Docker

14. Kite
15. Grant
16. Latimore
17. Peachy

We don't normally do well against Newcastle and Mullen should be pumped to get his rightful NSW spot

 

[benntash]

If Kingston is out due to the moonboot and segs plays 80mins it'll do our attack the world of good. As long as our defence stands up we go well to continue the WL trend

 

[Panther_Daz]

Kingston will play. Moon boots are just precautionary half the time these days.

Mansour in doubt with a shoulder issue. K.Naiqama likely replacement with DWZ also facing a couple of weeks out.

 

[mxlegend99]

Hopefully Nabouli gets a run. Could handle seeing 2. Nabouli, 5. Naiqama this weekend. Not that Simmons will ever get dropped.

 

[umina panther]

Surely Nabuli is ahead of Naqiama. For every good thing Kev did in the Fiji game he also did two terrible things.

 

[maple_69]

Plus we need to see what Nabuli can do in first grade. We know Naiqama can handle it.

 

[umina panther]

Nabuli + Soward's kicking game + our crappy attack and you'd think its pretty obvious what's the right decision.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Thing is, Naiqama did nothing wrong when he was on the wing and I think he was pretty harshly dropped. I would get rid of Simmons as soon as we can find some one who can also catch a high ball but is faster than a snail. I assume that is Nabuli. Nabuli + Naiqama for me if Mansour is out.

Sucks to say about one of your own players, but I kind of wish Kingston was injured, even just for a week, so we can see what Segeyaro as a starter can actually do. Might be the only way to get to see it this year. Would much prefer Cleary to grow a set, of course.

 

[MaxPower]

Yeah, i'm sure the only reason Cleary hasn't dropped Kingston is because he lacks the balls.

 

[umina panther]

Yeah, i'm sure the only reason Cleary hasn't dropped Kingston is because he lacks the balls.

It's that or he likes seeing a tiny forward pack get dominated. If he TRULY thinks Kingston is up to it then he has to drop Segeyaro.

 

[MaxPower]

Obviously Ivan thinks Kingston adds something to the team. Only a complete idiot would think there is any other reason he is in the side.

 

[marcozzi]

Kingston was indeed in a moonboot ...

 

[maple_69]

Gus and Cleary obviously realise Segeyaro is our future since they initially told him to look elsewhere. It's a matter of timing. What they're waiting for I don't know. Definitely Nabuli's time though.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

How is Moseley coming along?

 

[Luke Bowden]

How is Moseley coming along?

Solid without being Spectacular. He is going to be a good hooker.

 

[maple_69]

Hopefully Foster doesn't get left behind either. Looked a good Gower style half/hooker in the making but could easily fade away with Segs and Moseley in the picture.

 

[Doomednow]

Thing is, Naiqama did nothing wrong when he was on the wing and I think he was pretty harshly dropped.

Seems to me that he wasn't dropped so much as blooded. He had 2 weeks and then DWZ had a chance. I expect Nabuli to get his soon. IC is just testing out the availabilities. I don't think he was dropped because someone thought he wasn't up to it.

 

[Puntastic]

DWZ also facing a couple of weeks out.

What's the situation with DWZ?
