No way should either Turner or Jones be in there. I'd like to see this side:
Zillman
Best
Graham
Purtell
Kelly
Carney
Dobson
Tongue
Costigan
Miller
Logan
Withers
Thompson
Tilse
Learoyd Lahrs
Campese
Thurling
great team legend, that is exactly how the team should be. Someone said that ben jones has being annoying him last two games. exactly the same here. he keeps giving away stupid penalties and doesnt offer too much in attack. IMO turner is exactly the same player minus the stupid penalties. I think at tops you have turner in there but IMO we dont really need him as we have enough workhorses in the team (tongue, thompson), and the spots would be better used on thurling and miller, who are explosive.
After the team for the sharks game was picked i said we would lose because of the second row of jones and turner, i just dont believe they offer enough potency in attack.
Also, how good was campese? he definetely needs to be in there on the bench at least or in the centres if kelly is injured. I really hope the poor fella isnt injured bcoz i think he is shaping to be the outside back we have always lacked; big strong and with some speed. To think how much time we wasted on howell when there were players languishing in reserve grade just waiting to be snapped up.
I think that costigans consistent dropped ball was a bit of a worry. He is deadset a machine and all that; everytime he took a hit up he bumped off a player, but henry really needs to work on his handling. I also thought hinchcliffe was impressive, his little pops for the forwards is exactly the type of delivery that is needed. nice ones on priddis too!
All in all, this win really reinforces the claim that the raiders are inconsisent due to inexperience. doesnt faze me...because we just beat supercoach! get that up ya elliot
