Round 17 v Eels at home

[I'm Hornby]

Didn't take Fraudagan long to turf out a young prop in LPT!

I'm sure the Flanno fan brigade who wrap him for how he gives young players a run will conveniently look past that though.

 

[This Year?]

Would love to see them name J Halangahu at left 2-row. I watched the replay of 19's origin last night this kid is phenomenal.

Imagine the space the outside backs would have running off him.

 

[Macedonian Dragon]

Loko dropped is pure stupidity. He should be in instead of Guler or Fifita

 

[redv13]

I don’t mind the size of the wings for this game. Not the quickest sure, but we need them to take it up early in tackle counts and provide the added support needed due to our lack of forward impact. Let’s hope they don’t get injured during warm up or first half…!

Let’s hope neither breaks down if they play. Knowing our luck they’ll both be lame during the game

I think it’s a fatigue thing for the young bloke. Maybe a freshen up, well that’s what I’m telling myself anyway. FMD, Fifita, been useless from the first day he arrived. Be lucky to punch out 15 mins game time

Can someone please tell me Fifita has been killing it in Reserve grade? If not, our bench looks short of middles.

He went well, happy with that. However 2 wingers coming back from hamstring issues after 1 only lasted 20 minutes 2 weeks ago is madness.

 

[Dribble&Yarn]

Sele dropped as well - must be a fitness thing
Fifita off the bench doesn't exactly inspire much confidence tbh

Yes, madness personified. If either one or both breakdown again when hamstrings go, we will be in dire straights once again. They have got to be 100% fit, not 90%.

For Flanno's sake, they better not come off lame again.

[TheParraboy]

Gutho would want revenge

You guys have a lot more experienced players across the park

at fortress Win Stadium

We got out 7 and 9, and rookies galore

Gutho try + Dragons 13+ nothing surer

Get on it..._

 

[Forster Dragon]

I think that the Coach is digging his own hole from which he cannot climb out of.It is hard to understand his thinking with some selections for the Eels game.

 

[The Predictor]

Liddel is the player Parra have to keep an eye on, much improved

 

[Inisai Toga]

Agree, I’d just like to see how it pans out ‘if’ they stay on the field….

 

[matPORTS]

This surely won't be the same team which runs out at 5:30pm on Saturday night?

Big question marks over:

Suli (desperately out of form)
Flanagan (well discussed)
V Fifita (why - he's been coming off the bench in NSW Cup hasn't he)

Other opinions:

Couchman (needs to go back into the front row rotation)
Stewart (needs to be starting in the 13)
LPT (don't understand why he is out of favour - not dropped until we see him run out for NSW Cup IMO)

TBF on LPT, we can’t expect these young guys - especially middles - to play NRL every week. They are going to need a rest every so often until they are hardened first graders.

Yep, Cook for more time in the centres….

But he’s not playing?
