Round 1 v Bulldogs

[SpaceMonkey]

It's going to be Keighran, right? And will he kick goals as well?

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Kata doing some kicking this year too

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Teams still named on Tuesdays this year?

 

[Rich102]

Not heard anything different Phil.

 

[Meth]

Agree. Blair out; Burr in.

won't happen

Reading a few footy journalists twitter accounts sounds as though Keighran has got the call. And Isaac Luke is out.

Not surprised re Luke, especially with a Roache coming through the trials well.

100%. Luke can get back to fitness and see how Roach goes. He looks ready for a good year.

Papali'i is out...Luke out.

Test of depth before we even start

Harris covers halves
Tevaga covers hooker
Afoa prop rotation, oddly with Tevaga
Pulu seconds cover with Blair
Ashford seconds and backs cover

 

[Mr Angry]

Dogs are one of the teams that look worse than yours, in fact, the first 6 games are all teams who did not make the 8.

You should start the season ok.

 

[Scott]

IPap out for 1 week - low range drink driving apparently. Very stupid!

Uh oh, not the process, let the lads down

 

[Rich102]

Glad to see the firmer stance.
If that's part of the process I am all for it.

Kata still next to Maumalo???

 

[Juju]

The Kennel Forum members seem very confident of a big win.

Some are even putting hundreds on the Doggies + 13 (supposedly).

I reckon it'll be a bit close than that...

Silly bugger. Been there and done that myself but good the club has stood him down for the week as a message.

 

[Leber]

Pretty much the team we expected but with Ayshford coming in for papali

Jeepers I was close. Only wrong on Lisone /Pulu......wish I wasn't. Whats going on with Pulu missing out. He was fantastic till injured last year. Hopefully Lisone can improve then.

 

[Iafeta]

He looked rusty in the reserve grade match. No energy or drive. Looked a shell of his former self.

Lisone had a good trial. Ran with some good steam.

It’s the right call comfortably.

Not sure on Ayshford. He did some good stuff in the trial but was also barely hanging on at times in defence (and they went through him a couple of times as well).

 

[ZEROMISSTACKLES]

Looks like we'll be seeing the same right side combo of yesteryear with Harris/Hiku/Fus. No qualms there really as they were exciting last year on attack.
