Rnd 6 Team vs Raiders

[Poupou Escobar]

Ah Bazal how does it feel too see your mate dropped for Terepo? Lol

Who was dropped for Terepo? Terepo was in the team last week and no forwards got dropped. Injury actually created room for Evans to come back into the team.

 

[Suitman]

Poor troll. 1.5/10

That's only a 15%'er for him. His standards are certainly lowering.

 

[Suitman]

Anyone know when Hayne is likely to return?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Dropped

Wont be suprised if back at Wenty once Brown and Taka are back.

You think Alvaro will end up in Wenty? He hasn't been dropped mate, he has been paired with our best attacking middle forward in Evans. Who might end up swapping with Terepo on game day anyway.

 

[hindy111]

Why would he be replaced by an edge forward?

Poor troll. 1.5/10

Brown is not an edge forward
Taka yes which mean Tepai to the middle.

One nore for the dummies

[Eelogical]

I'm liking the look of that weather beaten, stitched up, ragged, taped together, Band-Aid applied side. They will win.

Injury thread says round 9 but BA suggested he might be a chance this week. Obviously not now but the truth may be somewhere in between.

Rnd 9

100-15=?

85%

How long is it since Gower has had a run in any grade? Could be a smokie. Id have him ahead of Beau at this stage but maybe Smith is a better swap with Beau. Kaysa needs help. I reckon his service was a significant contributing factor to our lousy attack last week.

FFS, starting the game on the interchange bench is not being f**king "dropped" or even "benched".

There are 17 players in an NRL game and of the 5 starting forward roles, most clubs use 8 or 9 players out of their 17 to fill those roles. Just because a certain player doesn't run on for the first 20 mins, doesn't mean their later contribution is any less important.

What if dogs benched Klemmer or Woods?

 

[hindy111]

Dropped for Terepo cause BA like me agrees he is superior.

Genuine question but which teams don't start their best middle forwards? I know that all 17 players are important but if you look at the best middle forwards on each team they all seem to start

 

[Stevie]

I’ll claim it Peni to start will really do a great job. He’ll be a cannon ball and set the tone.

But despite missing this week, Brown is in the 17 already. So Is Alvaro.

Taka is not.

So, "once more for the dummies", why would a top 17 middle forward be replaced by an edge forward?

Maybe BA views our co-captains as leaders and wants one of them on the field as often as possible.

I read somewhere (Maybe TCT?) that Mannah only played 26min last week? It seems he doesn't want him on the field for too long

He got sin binned with 20 to go in the first half, and did come back on with 10 left in the half. I thought he might play out the half and start the second but I guess not.

Yep, the 10 in the bin meant he certainly wasn't fatigued. Wonder why BA wants him playing f**k all minutes?
