Round 10 v's Melbourne Storm

[maple_69]

I'll probably vomit if the below runs out.
1. Coote 2. Simmons 3. Tighe 4. Daniela 5. Mansour 6. Austin 7. Burns

I'll have an enormous grin on my face despite the likely shellacking if the below runs out.
1. Coote 2. Uaisele 3. Jennings 4. Daniela 5. Mansour 6. Austin 7. Burns/Siejka/Moylan

Interesting Windsor team named though. Moylan at fullback, Taumata at halfback, uaisele, robinson in the centres and vai vai 18th man.

yep windsor are looking good this year. And mail is walsh will play this week.Also Etu and Moylan also .

 

[betcats]

Surely there has to be some changes in the coming weeks not forced by injury. We have a shit hot reserve grade team, a terrible FG team and no players really being dropped, doesnt make sense, especially since by the sounds of it some of Windsors best performances regularly come from the backs and some of our weakest 17 FG players are backs. Tighe and Simmons are flat out pedestrians in attack and are nothing but average defensively.

 

[Big Mick]

Walsh may pass a fitness test but I doubt it.

Fact is our back row have been making 5-6m a hit up...and that's the biggest issue. They don't tackle hard. They may rack up the numbers but they are ineffective and flopping tackles. They don't hit the fringe hard at all.

It's not there fault either, there just plodders not capable of any better, I'd personally like to see Achurch given a run as an wide running back rower

So true.

If Galea and Ciraldo aren't the worst second row pairing in the NRL i will give it away.

 

[franklin2323]

Galea was far worse at prop. I am hearing Kingston trained and will play. I guess he will replace Walsh. Burns at 7.

 

[abpanther]

I would prefer if Kingston didn't come back to be honest

I actually don't mind this, now all we need is Achurch to replace Galea, Robinson to replace Ciraldo and another front rower (A genuine one) on the bench

 

[goosie]

Alot of people don't understand how much we miss kev kingston. He is also solid in defence and makes like 40 plus tackles every game.

 

[abpanther]

Yeah but from what I remember earlier this season his service from dummy half was pretty shit

 

[franklin2323]

Burns or Simpkins can do that. He's service is slow & doesn't scoot. I am happy for a fit Walsh to play he won't be 100%.

Sadly he played injured all last year was mostly crap bar the odd game. The last 3 or so games he has been in doubt until game day & played rubbish.

I'd rather he miss as many as needed. Get fit & then comeback & use the rest of the year to show us but Cleary sees in him.

 

[franklin2323]

Siejka out for 1-2 weeks. Taumata & Moylan playing for Windsor. So either Kingston's in or Walsh is playing

 

[goosie]

late mail seluini to start at hooker , burns to play with austin in the halves apparently. not sure who else will go to hooker when seluini has a rest unless he plays for 80.

 

[goosie]

hope kingston is back!

Simpkins or Kingston

 

[abpanther]

SMH says that Simpkins will start at hooker

 

[Clintos]

Anyone know how Mansour is going? He looked solid for the Bunnies in Toyota Cup.

Also - is this just a one week thing due to injury or have Tighe/Simmonds been dropped?

 

[Big Mick]

Far out. Just gets worse.

Gus just confirmed on Twitter:

Phil Gould ‏ @gusgould91
@ernie_48 I haven't seen the team sorry .. I know Luke Lewis injured at training today .. I believe coach has made a couple of changes

Lewis is listed as extremely doubtful.

So along with the Simmons, Tighe changes...we might have to play Austin at the #13 with Moylan/Seijka at the #6.

 

[Big Mick]

And I also asked Gus about how far away Vaipuna is from NRL.

He came back with:
- 1 month in NSW Cup needed first
- Followed up by 2 games off the bench in August to give him a taste before the off-season.

Starting to come together...
