[Doomednow]

What's happened to Kingston? I can't find the story.

Very unfortunate for Kev. Will be interesting to see who we play at Hooker. I think we might roll with Brown starting and the youngin off the bench. Brooky is a tough debut.

 

[Doomednow]

And we were doing so well with injuries earlier in the year. Well if we fade out this year no one can legitimately say we didn't give it a red hot go. Proud of the boys, expect them to put in until the end.

I would do the same. Bring him on after 20mins or so. He will have more spark then Kingston it's whether he gets nerves and makes errors that's the question. Not really any other options though

Moseley or Foster. With Foster you could sub Brown in and shift Smith to the centres and Idris to second row for a spell. Sad for Kevvie. We give him a lot of grief but he was very good for us when we were really struggling and by all accounts is a great club man.

 

[soc123_au]

Yeah, Kev deserved a better finish. Although he was part of the Leary, Elliott era he has been a big part of the transition to where we are now.

Id consider resting Mansour this week. He's looked tired and ineffective the last few weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if a year of carrying our pack is catching up. Important to have him right so we start the set on the front foot. Kev is a good replacement for one match.
Hopefully against the Warriors then we would have Mansour, Segs, Latimore and Simmons coming back primed for the final charge.

 

[Frankus]

If Melbourne and Canterbury both lose, we only need to win one game to make top 4. If this scenario eventuates, hopefully we throw all our eggs into one basket(Warriors game). By this I mean we should rest any players with niggles from the Manly game, and set ourselves for the Warriors game. As Melbourne and Bulldogs both play before us this weekend, we will know what is required come Sunday

In an ideal world, yes we should do that. However if the Warriors are playing for a finals spot it could blow up in our face. They are the most unpredictable side in the comp, world beaters one day and also rans the next. Too risky.

Manly are in a bit of a form slump, we should look to take advantage of that at Brookvale and ambush them particularly in the first 20 minutes.

I cant see us wining our final 2 games without Seg.

 

[The OX]

Winning this week would be hard work even at full strength.

Its a must we knock the Warriors off though.

 

[Thirsty Panther]

Hope Irdris does the same thing he did to Cronk to DCE. We need to keep him quiet to have any chance on Sunday.

 

[Nealo 12]

Boy how are we going with all these injuries , hope we aren't seen to be a poison chalice to prospective players who are approached to sign with us !

Unbelievable number of injuries. Also they all seem to be long term ones at that.

 

[Dufmack]

Latimore out for 2 weeks now. Bullshit.

 

[Puntastic]

Don't agree with the judiciary on Latimore at all. Feel sorry for Kingston.

It's a shame we wont get to see some of these blokes in the finals series getting a taste for the years to come.

Warriors game is the more winnable of the two, just hope we don't forget we've got a game this week.

 

[soc123_au]

Judiciary is a joke. King got off, there is a surprise..

 

[maple_69]

That Latimore decision is an utter disgrace. The guy hit the deck in a seated position and Latimore did nothing to put him in that position. Ridiculous.
It makes me think. Have we gotten through a game without an injury since the round 14 Dragons game?
