Round 17 Dragons v Titans

[ALSGI]

I agree it is exciting but i also agree that it is tough on Host.

For mine I think without Vaughan we could use 4 forwards on the bench.

May well be what will hapen, although Mary did already say McCrone will come in to any backline injuries as half and Mann will shift which is dumb imo.
Just cannot understand Mary's bench use at all.

 

[possm]

We should allow him time off to sort out his accommodation in Canada.
Taxi to Sydney airport on the double................ now!

+ one way ticket Qantas business class.

Lawrie on debut and Mann starting at halfback, how exciting!

Agree.....Just go with four forwards on rotation and send Mc Crone to Movie World for the afternoon !!!

 

[barry]

Still no Leilua.... *sigh*

Surely he is better then host and sele ?

 

[SaintElroy]

Lawrie in? But we don't blood enough juniors ??

Pretty sure coaches are having spare backs on the bench to cover for HIAs. I don't see ours as an impact player at all really.

 

[Old Timer]

No he is still a bit of a jelly belly and lazy.
All came to easy in juniors and U/20's.

A young lion like Lawrie might just add that extra thrust esp on debut....

I think Leilua is a greater ball playing option compared to Sele when we have Vaughan back, but both Host and Lawrie can add to that go forward we will miss.

 

[Smack]

Sele has shown spurts or potential, I would have him and Leilua on the bench. McCrone to Antarctica.

 

[possm]

Sele has shown spurts or potential, I would have him and Leilua on the bench. McCrone to Antarctica.

I believe the ideal bench format for our power game would be two props, a backrower and a Hooker/backrower. So ideally our bench should be:
Ah Mau
Lawrie / Kerr
Sims / Sele / Host / Leilua
Robson

 

[ALSGI]

Predictions.
1. Duges first try scorer, Hayne carried off with broken ego.
2. Mann scores from from a Widdop kick. Mann scores from JDB offload.
3. Lawrie scores on debut.
4. Nighty bags 4th triple and doubles his last years tally.
5. Possm admits it's not a mess and changes to red text.

The first four are a chance but number 5 will never happen.

Mate this was always going to happen with McCrone on the bench , I just hope Mann is not shafted if the kid makes a mistake . McCrone has made a few himself ...

Not necessary Possm. Didn't think blokes could be this bitchy. I was wrong.

Pretty sure he'll get the 80 minutes mate. He's fit and ready,

I actually agree with you OT. Who would have thought...

Hope so given a go to settle into a position , he can be more than just a utility player ....

 

[Old Timer]

I knew I would grow on you just like a haemorrhoid on an arsehole (meant in good humour of course)
I have watched Leilua with interest this year and when you compare him to other young forwards going round it is chalk and cheese.
The others want to be in the thick of it and Luc wants to be running around like a 2nd five eighth just like he did in U/20's.
Hopefully the penny will drop and he will do the hard stuff otherwise he will end up a poor man's Dave Taylor and T Rex.

 

[Overseas dragon]

Just hope there isn't an injury to any of the backs though because it will be mann to cover that position and McCrone back to halfback.....

Unless its Dugan and then Mann might get a run at fullback .I did say might but we all know Mary.
