RD12 Vs Sea Eagles

[franklin2323]

I think if it wasn’t manly we where playing API may take the week rest.But he is a competitor and would love giving it to manly

No point in that if he misses Canberra the week after

 

[franklin2323]

This will be a really good test for our pack. Manly have the best pack we have faced for a while. Cant wait to see Fish rip in to AFB & Tapau.

Our pack is number 1. They are number 2 in the comp. should be a good contest

 

[franklin2323]

Yeah knees are tricky. I've got permenant soreness in the left one after an injury.

With luck Staines will get a shot at Fullback though since it's his preferred position.

I heard Mansour to miss a week Staines in. If Staines is cleared outside Crichton would be good to see

 

[BxTom]

You're asking a bit much. 5 tries would be fine. It's only his second game and we should give him time to get there. I wouldn't be expecting 8 tries in a game until his 5th game.

You might be one of those that settle for mediocrity, but some of us expect perfection!!

 

[GongPanther]

Hopefully Staines comes in for MWZ at least.

On the humorous side, I can't recall the underpant involved in any defence being that he was too busy scoring tries.

 

[GongPanther]

Not if we lose him for longer as a result. Any doubt take the extra week

Agree. Best not risk one of your biggest asset. Besides, I thought Mitch Kenny held his own quite well.

I'm thinking The Underpant is going to be heavily marked in his 2nd time around.

But will he.He wants to play.The club will make the decision as it should be

Depends how deep he or anyone wants to go this year. The fittest team will win the comp

 

[kinghippo]

Would be great to have Api back for this one.

Players always fire up against their old club, I would love to see him grab a try or two to make his point.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Surely Staines comes in if he’s passed fit?!?

The Storm are really looking awesome at the moment. Minimal injuries as opposed to our 7 our so even allowing for the fact we will gradually get players back.
Our next two games are tough and while it would be nice to win both I would take one win from the two as things stand at present.

 

[Kilkenny]

Not so sure. On the back of his debut you would like to think so, but to his credit MWZ was pretty solid on the weekend and could be worth persisting with for this week and giving Staines another week. Given MWZ hadn’t played NRL for a year or so, no NSW Cup I thought he did a really terrific job.

He might have been solid but is still just the fill in while Staines is a genuine 1st 17 either now or soon.

Let’s not to too carried away with Charlie after his amazing debut performance. He possesses the one attribute our other wingers probably done, pure speed, and that is great but against the really good sides we may see he still has some way to go. Not knocking him, not saying he shouldn’t be in the side this week but against the better sides will prove a much sterner test of where he is at.

As it stands we will have every player fit for the finals. Stay fit enough to come top 4 and that gives us a huge chance to go deep in the finals

It's not about how good they are. Staines has been in the 21 and also picked before MWZ until Mandatory isolation and lockjaw happened. Ivan has made the pecking order very clear.

Definitely, but a lot can happen between now and semi finals, for all sides. A lot of footy to be played.

I think the win against the Titans was great value given I was concerned (always am) but I thought it was a game the Titans may have really got up for, and while they were we still got the job done with an understrength side. Good signs but it is no different this week.

 

[betcats]

Staines definitely comes straight in if he is fit, his debut has more than earned him another shot with To'o being out.

 

[Exsilium]

As the season progresses, we will need to heavily rotate the squad. Without NSW Cup, there will be a need to ensure players get some match fitness going into the finals.

If I were IC, I'd secure the top four and look to rotate players who could become vital contributors if injuries or suspensions hit the squad.
