Would definitely like to see Achurch given a go again.

We can not name Danny Galea to play Front Row off the bench against Packer,Matulino,Lillyman etc. He will get monstered.

the backline picks itself. Austin should be lock. Plum should be prop prob off the bench. Other then that the OP'S team is spot on.

Apart from Lewis our most disappointing forward has been McKendry. He needs a big one this week. We need to win he needs to cover for Grant if that is too happen.

Not what I want...just what I think we'll go with.

 

[Panther_Daz]

What would you go with Mick?

 

[maple_69]

I'd say your side Daz is likely what we'll get perhaps with Simpkins at lock.

Woild like.

We need some size..

 

[Big Mick]

What would you go with Mick?

The 1-17 I got there, but instead of Galea...Vaipuna Tia-Kilifi.

If that happens I'd be stoked.

 

[1MTDaz]

The Warriors are really going to be hurting after that crap effort they put offered up against the storm. This could be a battle of the coaches this one. Is going to be an interesting game.

 

[mxlegend99]

My 1-17 would be:

1. Lachlan Coote
2. Josh Mansour
3. Geoff Daniela
4. Brad Tighe
5. Etu Uaisele
6. Travis Burns
7. Luke Walsh
8. Dayne Weston
9. Kevin Kingston
10. Sam McKendry
11. Nigel Plum
12. Clint Newton
13. Blake Austin

14. Mitch Achurch
15. Chris Armit
16. Cameron Ciraldo / Danny Galea
17. Ryan Simpkins

Not a bad team available for selection, it's just a shame Flash Gordon and Nathan Smith aren't available to fill in the #4 and #16 jersey. I'm hoping we help cover the loss of Tim Grant by going for atleast 2 props on the bench... and not using Danny Galea in the front row.

It's hard to see us winning, but if all these blokes can play with the same attitude we have the past few games then it's certainly possible.

 

[betcats]

Anyone watched Windsor recently? How is Achurch going?

Worried about this game with no Grant, I dont think our understrength pack is up to it, will take a massive game from Sam McKendry for us to be in it.

Yeah decent enough. I think he will be in the squad whether he makes the game day team is a different story. He should be in front of Armit and Galea

 

[Izz]

I think Achurch is going to be a gun for you guys.

I don't think Galea should be anywhere near your 17.

 

[ozbash]

Whats happened to Nafe ?

 

[soc123_au]

Whats happened to Nafe ?

Seems to be on the outer, his defence is a bit of a let down. He hasnt really kicked on as much as his NYC form suggested he might. Cant see him still with us next year.

 

[maple_69]

I liked him off the bench but it seems Cleary isn't a fan. Could be why the Warriors let him go also.
We're definitely missing a bit of zip out of dummy half.

Shame. thanks mate.

 

[Big Mick]

Geez the Warriors have a charmed run during origin period when you think about it.

In any case...when you are missing 5 starting players in Michael Gordon, Nathan Smith, Luke Lewis, Michael Jennings and Tim Grant to either injuries or origin...it is always going to hurt. 5/13 starters is a hell of a lot.

1st half I thought we were the better team.

2nd half we came out a different team. That was the worst half of football I've seen Walsh play.

 

[abpanther]

Coote was also terrible tonight.

Our forward pack just doesn't make many metres

 

[umina panther]

I know he wont be but Walsh should be dropped after that. No one can defend him anymore, not once bombing Manu, the shit nothing grubbers to no one, the hospital passes
