Raper's rant

[shadowboxer]

from smh.com - THE LATE MAIL

Cronulla - who will drop Reece Williams from their bench - expect Dragons prop Jason Ryles to make his comeback from a shoulder injury tomorrow. "I hope they all play so that there will be no excuses if we win," said coach Stuart Raper. "You kind of get tired of people whingeing - we had a lot injuries for the first few rounds and I didn't say a thing." St George Illawarra captain Trent Barrett (hamstring) is regarded as a certainty to play. Prop Luke Bailey (calf) is likely.

You go raper, nothing like a little dig at the old enemy, they wont play ryles unless he is 100%, we will know if he isnt 100% as he probally wont see out the match

I hope they all play too. Beating them at full strength is the best result. This is going to be HUGE!!

I didn't know Reece Williams was even on the bench. Are you sure it's not Jason Williams that was dropped?

 

[shadowboxer]

why would they drop williams???

I just had a look at the O site and Reece Williams has been named on the bench in number 19, so it must be right. He wasn't named on the bench earlier in the week, I wonder if it has anything to do with the BAD NEWS.

Good to hear Raper say wat he said, bit of confidence in the camp now and with those words they seem determined to win no matter who the Dragons put in ther side
