Round 13 Friday 1st June v Sharks @ ANZ Stadium

[Rabbit toes]

An bigger than expected defeat of the warriors. A great team effort.
Bring on the Sharks!

 

[Travitoh]

So if AJ isn't fit to play, who goes to FB assuming GI and Gagai are selected to play for Qld?
Do we put Cody back there for one game with Doueihi moving into 6?

 

[Rabbits20]

Douiehi and Cody may alternate between fullback.

 

[CliveC]

Why change a winnng combo in the halves,Dewey looks like he could be a really good utility!

If AJ's out, it'd have to be Doueihi, but from our injury report I'd say AJ is almost a certainty for this game

 

[Travitoh]

AJ in would be great news.
Is Doueihi capable of playing FB? I guess Seibold can reshuffle during the game if he needs to.

Inglis came off at the end of the game and Doueihi played fullback for 10 mins

 

[Rsag85]

I have Angus, Cook, Gagai and Inglis in the SOO sides

I have Aj at fullback and Doueihi at hooker

 

[Rabbitoad]

AJ in would be great news.

He played a few games there for the Bears last year and spent some time there against the Warriors at the end.

I have Angus, Cook, Gagai and Inglis in the SOO sides

I have Aj at fullback and Doueihi at hooker

Why wouldn't we go with Farah?

I would think Doueihi stays at left centre, Hunt plays right and Farah comes in at 9.

 

[Travitoh]

Oh cool. Seibold looking ahead to next week. Did AD go alright?
I only saw upto the 50-60 minute mark.

You don’t want to go backwards with Farah playing.

Hunt and Burns can cover the centres spots

 

[The Windsor Rabbit]

I have Angus, Cook, Gagai and Inglis in the SOO sides

You think Angus will get picked ? I don’t think he’s done enough this year personally. Guess we fondness out tomorrow.

 

[Rsag85]

You think Angus will get picked ? I don’t think he’s done enough this year personally. Guess we fondness out tomorrow.

I think for cover for De Belin who went off injured

 

[Travitoh]

Graham for De Belin perhaps? May even be a rep lifeline for Jackson.

Farah comes in for Cook if selected for NSW. His defence will be crucial imo and AD is too tall to play 9. At 6'3, it's a long way to the ground to collect the ball every tackle!

 

[The Windsor Rabbit]

I think for cover for De Belin who went off injured

Fair enough. I never seen De Belin was hurt.

 

[Mixo Joe]

You think Angus will get picked ? I don’t think he’s done enough this year personally. Guess we fondness out tomorrow.

Fittler will pick him because he's a rorters "yes Man"! This would be one of the sweeteners that was promised to him by the Sombrero Cheaters to lure him from the bunnies a la Walker to Manly by Fulton!!

 

[Rabbitoad]

You don’t want to go backwards with Farah playing.

Hunt and Burns can cover the centres spots

Not sure I understand how playing our back up hooker when our first choice is out means going backwards.

It's a big risk throwing a 19 year old half into hooker and expecting him to do 80 minutes of defence in the middle of the ruck.

I'd much rather put an experienced hooker of Farah's quality in there and continue Doueihi at centre.

 

[Pommy]

You don’t want to go backwards with Farah playing.

How is it going backwards by playing a hooker who has represented two countries and his state multiple times at hooker? Remember he has something to prove now as well.
It would be totally insanity to leave that experience out of the side when we’re losing so much.

 

[Rsag85]

Our attack is looking great this year because we are getting fast played the ball and Cook coming out of dummy half making good metres and seeing what’s infront of him. Farah is a slow and selfish player. Doueihi has proven he can cover a number of positions. Playing Farah will hurt our attack with his selfish plays

 

[Rsag85]

Fair enough. I never seen De Belin was hurt.

Went off at the end of the game
