Outstanding looking team that one. The key point is the absence of Drew

 

[I Bleed Green]

Great looking team that.

And Boogers... \\/

 

[Edwahu]

Id like to see Carney on the bench.

Beat me to it :lol: Still, boogers is ok ...

 

[woodgers]

Carney instead of Lawrence. Get rid of Thommo or Tired.

Woolford must be struggling still. Gee he's a gutsy little prick.

 

[GreenGuy]

Robbo's walking the tightrope IMO

 

[edabomb]

We need Tyran. Carney, if he was going to be in, would be best ahead of Thompson. Do we really see Carney playing a role in our finals push??

 

[GreenGuy]

The bench spot doesn't suit Carney at all especially if he only gets 20 minutes.

 

[greeneyed]

No, I'd like Tyran Smith to drop out... Lawrence is only there as a back up for Woolford. If Woolford looks OK, then I would bring Carney in instead of Lawrence.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Has Tyran Smith been injured or just crap form has seen him missing

 

[RaidersMalt]

I saw the words "unchanged lineup" and nearly had a heart attack! Thank god they dropped Drew.

Probably our strongest starting side all year!

 

[aussies1st]

Brillant line up , finally elliot see Drew just ain't up to standard
Bench ain't too bad, Weyman being there is great , Smith is alright but way better than the other two bench warmers (Drew, booga) and Smith had been injuried not dropped for form.

 

[Paullyboy]

Tyran has had a neck injury.


I find it interesting that on the Raiders site they say its our full-strenght team. Does this mean when Phil gets back they are planning on sending him back to reserves? I hope not! He is a lot better than Smith

(Im not having a go at Smith, he has done well in his time in first grade, but I dont see him as anything more than a fill in, he hasnt done anything particularly spectacular and most of his tries have been thanks to great work by Mogg, whereas Graham can create his own luck a bit better)

 

[edabomb]

I would think Graham would come in for Robbo.

 

[I Bleed Green]

I was actually very impressed with Tyran on the weekend. I really think we need his size in the team. He adds that much more physical presence. He put on some really good hits on the weekend and he has the potential to put a player in the hole. I'm not his biggest fan but I was impressed with his return last weekend and I think he deserves his spot.

I'm assuming you mean Graham is better than Tyran Smith.... :lol:

Nathan Smith is in the team to stay.... 4 tries in 3 games... can't argue with that, and I don't subscribe to the idea is is all Mogg.... look at the steps he has put on....

Mate I have to disagree, I think N Smith has been very very good since coming into 1st grade, I think it would be a call between Graham and Robbo for the other spot.

I endorse your perspective.
