Does Collins just pick seven backline players and throw all thier names in the air and see where they land.

Collins is getting ridiculous with his selections.

 

[Dragsters]

Gammy hammy.

Not named so can't play.

 

[OzDragon]

Wtf did Host do so wrong that it warranted being replaced by KFFL?!?!?


f**k me what a dumbass

 

[Saints Forever]

More of the same from McIdiot

We need a stronger and more creative bench

We need 4 forwards on the bench

Interchange:
14. Tariq Sims
15. Hame Sele
16. Jacob Host
17. Luciano Leilua

We lost the forward battle last week.

Penrith have a strong 17, we have to dominate the forward exchanges.

If we do Duges/Dufty/Mann/Widdop will get us home.

Collins is getting ridiculous with his selections.

Why is 18. Jackson Willis not in the top 17???

 

[Dragonslayer]

Why is 18. Jackson Willis not in the top 17???

I think Collins is doing ok.
Remember most of these guys (u20's) are in their first season playing 26 rounds far different from the 8 round comp SG Ball etc. Its a hard slog for them, and some maybe feeling the pinch. So selections are somewhat warranted even if to give a few a little bit of R&R.
To have them in the top 4 is just remarkable with such a young squad.
Robson is back this week and straigjt into hooker which is right timing with finals just around the corner.

 

[coast_dragons]

Why is 18. Jackson Willis not in the top 17???

I have no idea regardless of Robson being back who should be playing for Illawarra anyway Collins has some what lost me.

Marsters on the wing hasn't worked yet he is back there so Lomax can keep a spot at one when he should be in the centres with Garrick.

He shifts Sailor to 7 which imo isn't a great move and Lovodua comes i at 6 when he has been playing 13 and 9.

The constant chopping and changing has really hurt the team.

Why would Head carry Clune and Havili on the bench he doesn't need to.

Payne should be 7 and clune 6 yet again strange decision.

S Clune shouldn't be on the bench it should be Jurd.

Team looks good. I was half thinking Mary might swap Mann for McCrone. Fortunately that didn't happen.
At the risk of jinxing us I have a good feeling about this weekend.

 

[Dragonslayer]

It's an interesting weekend. The ISP team play on Saturday and they must win to play in the finals as it's their last game. So they need good players as well so they can make the finals. As for first grade we will know the makeup of the team on Saturday really no need for the late mail or even the 24-hour notice. It's a big weekend of football for all!

OzDragon
KFF is there because McDonald need to pass a final fitness test at the cptains run to be ready to play on Sunday.

 

[Life's Good]

Points for us should come down the side of Waqa Blake & DWZ. That should be where Mann & Widdop should be directing the attack to find Dugan & MacDonald. That means Duges needs to get his ever so rare passing game on.
Even though Cleary has been going great guns he hasn't had to face Thomo, Friz & JDB who will definitely be looking to work him over.
With Moylan out I am feeling good about this game.

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Personally I would prefer that Wallace was still out......

Let's just hope Duges hold the ball on over our try line and theirs!

They havnt run on the field yet, give him time.

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

No one is more disappointed than myself that we have finished so poorly when our early season form promised so much, but for some to say we dont deserve to be in the finals is really not true.....if we finish on 30 points then we do, because we have amassed the required number of points..........lets face it no one has done us any favours that I can remember this season
