Ropati out for season

[Penrose Warrior]

The worst thing is that Moon will now stay in

Harsh, given Moon has had one bad game? Thought he was strong v Eels and dont remember him being bad v Tigers, and was outstanding in pre-season.

He had a very very poor game against the Tigers. Got caught propping instead of sliding on a shift play that resulted in Lawrence going over basically untouched, and then the same thing happened off a short ball from Robert Lui to Simon Dwyer which conceded a long line break, the only reason they didn't score on that play is Lewis Brown did a fantastic job in scramble defence. One play later though Robbie Farah scored. So he was at the centre of two of their tries.

ooh for christ sakes!! Three losses, Manu out for a period of time, Ropo one player who looked good is now gone.

Are we gonna win any games this season :|

 

[Warmess]

Urgh, definitely an fml moment. Kinda thought it might end up this way as soon as they mentioned ACL. Guess it's Inu/Brown to centres....christ.

 

[Dr Crane]

gee, he'd actually had a good start to the season and all.

alternatively, he's a smart cookie for getting the f**k out of that sinking ship this year.

 

[Dr Crane]

double

FMD, from bad to worse this year. At least our centre depth looks a bit better than in the past. Mannering or Brown to the centres for mine, maybe even both of them if Moon doesn't pick his game up.

 

[Mr Angry]

I hope Moon gets better.

 

[Whos Ya Daddy]

I guess my dream of seeing Ropo get a full season at fullback is never going to happen.

 

[Martli]

Terrible news, he was easily our best back. I would put Inu at centre.

 

[JAG]

Real shame for Rpati, he hs started the season pretty well.

From what I saw in the pre-season games, I'd much rather have Inu on the wing than at centre. Unfortunately I think that's where he'll be this week tho, although I wouldn't be too surprised if we're treated to Captain Mannering at centre this weekend.

I am not looking forward to the Sharks game with a huge amount of optimism at the moment.
