Rnd 18 vs Penrith team list thread

How long would Rheed be out?
Stone is ok for 20mins but isn't a natural hooker. He won't engage the line, kick or run. Ridiculous if goes with him IMO.
Sivo should be gone also. Id rather Taka on wing. He is also a excellent aerial threat and fires team up.

Not sure Stone will play 80 mins at hooker, reckon Smith may get a bench spot

Id go this way

Bring Smith on last 10min of the half and first 10-15 min of second half
He has speed and energy, something we have lacked off the bench

Just no kicking

I reckon Reed will be out minimum 3 weeks, 1st finals game best bet, grand final worst bet

Gee long time.
When finals do come I wonder what BA plan is. If he goes in playing high completion and low risk against top 3 I feel it would be a slow strangling death. Id rather we play high risk jungle ball with the hope it comes off amd possibly win. A smart coach knows this side won't beat them playing normal game.

I'd be happy for him to return in the World Club Challenge.

When Smith was getting game time in the 9 I was really impressed with his D. It was 2 or 3 seasons ago though so who knows. It appears BA gets a new "9" project every year. Smith, Davies, Stone. I wonder who next years project will be. Hopefully Schnider but its gone very quiet on this kid again. BAs probably gone off him as well.
I also agree re Smiths kicking. Hes a brain explosion kicker. Fu*ken useless. One kick and Id tear up his contract.

I think Smith overplays his hand.

Tries to show his flahy skills then stuffs up

 

[hindy111]

W.Smith would add an attacking threat.

Papali is back this week apparently.

Papali is back this week apparently.

When Cameron Smith did his AC joint a month or so ago the Storm said if it was a finals game he would have played and just got needled up.

BA said in the presser that Reed couldn’t pass left.

It’s a Zoolander injury.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

BA also thinks that dog's can't look up.

 

[Incorrect]

His left or the opposition's left?

 

[Avenger]

BA said in the presser that Reed couldn’t pass left.

He hasn’t been able to pass from right to left all season which is why Fergo has only scored on try.

 

[strider]

His left or the opposition's left?

Problem solved ... just get him to turn the other way every time we wanna go left

 

[hineyrulz]

W.Smith would add an attacking threat.

For Penrith.

 

[hineyrulz]

Maybe we can get Kenny Edwards back to play nine???

 

[Glenneel]

Marata didn’t look to good when he came off, I reckon he’ll be missing which is a shame as he’s been great off the bench. We’ll definitely need Kaufusi to step up and do much beyond his 6mins and 1 hitup yesterday.

Davey would likely come onto the bench then, but doesn’t offer the power game. Stefano should be the more like for like swap but he’s been disappointing in his opportunities I feel.

Apparently Kaufusi not feeling the best before game so given limited minutes. Would have normally come in and replaced Niukore when he went off early. Has some rib problem I've heard.

 

[Glenneel]

Huh? No I didn’t. Believe it or not I am not sitting on here hitting refresh waiting for notifications to pop up. I answered it when I saw it. Spine players are the easiest ones to remember, particularly hookers as they get the ball more than anyone else in the team. The only player on that list who is obscure is Kane Lawton and we played them yesterday so hardly difficult to remember, I had more trouble remembering the 8 teams in the bottom 8 than knowing the names of the hookers. As soon as I remembered the team I knew the hooker.

Trouble is you know all the hookers and your pregnant wife is sick of it. Wake up to yourself!
