[abpanther]

I am so underwhelmed by this team selection, O'halloran, Worth, Blair at 5/8th??

Geez this is gonna be a real long season

 

[choc_soldier]

At least Williams is gone.

But you're right, very hard to have faith in that team.

The Raiders won't exactly be fearing the trip up the Hume Highway after seeing that line up.

 

[Caged Panther]

I mean FFS with all the talent we have running around at the club the best we can come up with is f**king mark o'hallaron!!! FFS!!!

 

[choc_soldier]

Canberra's team:

1. William Zillman
2. Colin Best
3. Phil Graham
4. Joel Monaghan
5. Adrian Purtell
6. Terry Campese

[mxlegend99]

Mark O'Halloran being picked is the worst decision.
Frank Pritchard starting after doing SFA is the second worst decision.
Tony Puletua being in the top 17 is the third worst decision.

Blair at 5/8? I like it.
Woolnough on the bench? I like it.
Worth starting? Not overly keen, but atleast he will put in effort unlike Pritchard.

 

[Big Mick]

F'ing that'll do me...

O'Halloran......Geoff Daniella there...god damn it...i'd rather Junior Moors play there ffs!

And Brendan Worth starting spot...are you high Elliot...I mean it...seriously.. THis guy is the BIGGEST waste of space to play for this club...wtf has he ever done that is any good...

Bob Blair at five-eight could be ok, but in all honesty who is the second kicker?...Last time Bob Blair played five-eight we got 50 put on us by the Warriors.

I see Nathan Smith is on his knees again this week...maybe O'Halloran picked up his game this week to earn a spot.

Good bench at least...but lacks Iosefa.

Its just so F'ING FRUSTRATING!...These DUMB...DUMB selections.

Monoghan and Graham are gonna have field days with Carney's little chip kicks over the top of our big wingers.

Canberra's backline...is bloody quick...but our Wingers are bloody slow...Realistically...we need to combat that. But we arn't cause our coach is a moron.

 

[mxlegend99]

If T. Puletua drops off the bench, that bench will be awesome.

Worth and Smith are copping a bit much crap considering they atleast put in 100%. I'd much rather them picked ahead of T. Puletua and Pritchard. I don't rate either that highly, but atleast they don't shy away from hard work.

We really need Lewis and Gordon back though.

Mick I usually completely agree with you with most things, however surely you can't say Smith was one of our worst last week, he tried hard all game and scored a try, there are plenty of other forwards that deserved to be dropped before Smith.

Daniela is obviously not performing well at the moment, ditto Moors and McCrone, O'Halloran will sure up our defence but gee he is slow and offers nothing in attack.

Why is Jennings on the wrong side?

I reckon they will put 40 on us, I hope Sammut is working on his kicking game coz this could be embarassing.

The difference for me is at least when Smith tries he runs hard, fights and scored a try last week, Worth just seems to fall down as soon as he is touched, has absolutely no mongrel whatsoever.

I don't think the return of Gordon or Lewis will ease our woes.

With Michael Gordon back, Mark O'Halloran dissapears.
Luke Lewis back, Maurice Blair is free to play either bench or lock.

Which makes us one step closer to ditching Tony Puletua.

See the problem in my eyes is that Smith, Lewis and Blair are all locks. I believe Blair and Lewis can play in the centres but Lock is a better position for them and neither are 5/8ths.

Big T has to go, drop his ass now please!!

By the way, where is Wade Graham??

 

[murraymob]

if ever there was a case for elliott having no idea this team selection is it. As stated we have some very talented wingers in the club in the u20 sonny tuigamal and junior tia kilifi and in windsor team daniella why ohallaran. Worth starting isbetter than bringing him of the bench

 

[abpanther]

Also, Blair barely passes the ball to his winger when he is in the centres, how can he be expected then to shift the ball wide from the 5/8th position??

Best is quick but Purtell wouldnt be far from the slowest winger in the comp

 

[mxlegend99]

Atleast our defense should improve. Also, if Blair isn't going to pass it often, atleast that reduces how often our players are going to drop the ball.

 

[Fibroman]

We have nobody in the side that can kick.

I fear Canberra may put 50 on us.

 

[Munky]

Daniel King is back though.

Our forwards should go watch him to see how they should run the ball back.

 

[mxlegend99]

Jarrod Sammut has an ok kicking game. He is also less likely to put the ball out on the full or do something f*cking stupid like Joe Williams.

He won't be getting 40/20's, but our kicking game shouldn't be any worse then last week.

 

[Spike]

Is Elliott trying to get sacked?
