[Timbo]

Good call dropping Thommo to the bench you fathead

 

[I Bleed Green]

He's done it on purpose to gift the Panthers, his new team, a victory.

Only explanation I can come to.

That team is just utterly rubbish. Ugh.

 

[FullySick]

Thommo to the bench!
Carney once again shafted, (must be doing wonders for the kids confidence)
NO CHALK.

good work elliot.

 

[Chachi]

I give up. Purtell and Mogg can do no wrong and that has to be the smallest pack in the history of the NRL.

 

[Raider_69]

elliott is a f**king moron

Christ almighty, i pray to god that the CT dont get on the al capone to any of the fans after this team was named, i garentee you they wouldnt be as generous with their wording as paul and simon were today

 

[Paullyboy]

That, my friends, is f**ked up

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

i thought Withers was out?

thommo should be starting, raston should be there somewhere..carney has done good considering the game time + situation he was in..you cant expect a halfback to be on the bench and then come on when were down by sh!tloads.

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

also am i the only one who thinks purtell is fairly crap?

 

[aussies1st]

Ratson dropped already. Geez Eliott has a lot of faith in our youngsters :rolls:
Good to see Zillman on the bench thats one thing hes got right.

Howell and Mogg centres oh boy we are in for some fun

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

trent waterhouse and the other australian rep player are back for penrith for the first time this season.

 

[Coraki_kid]

pretty sure my pain from the last 2 weeks will continue this week

 

[PRKLCD]

i thought Withers was out?

thommo should be starting, raston should be there somewhere..carney has done good considering the game time + situation he was in..you cant expect a halfback to be on the bench and then come on when were down by sh!tloads.

Why did we sign up Carney for a long term big $$$ contract then drop him to PL. Seriously, leave him in first grade. I am not a huge fan of him at all - but why pay him what we are to play PL? He isn't going to learn that much down there

 

[edabomb]

Where's Terry?

 

[waltzing Meninga]

How does Hogo get a start?? he has been sh*t house from what ive seen

 

[Raider Ultra]

Thommo to the bench. What a kick in the nuts, one of the few that have tried their guts out this year.

 

[Brimmer]

Personally I agree with Carney going back to PL. Seriously gang, I know the guy shows a lot of promise but I have seen a fair few games he's played now and he has hardly set the world on fire.

We've been struck with injuries... let's just see how this team goes.

 

[aussies1st]

Carney should be starting not coming of the bench. Right move to drop him if he isn't going to start.

 

[ed bbay]

PURTELL has done nothing wrong you can t single him out for bad defence or being in the wrong position they all have

is frawley fit ?

smith needs to play football he really has aged in 5 months because he is nt playing well

withers to bench & carney to start lets see if it works he deserves a shot

jones to p/l

and for gods sake troy thompson who surley is leading the poll 4 best player so far to start the game . why would you drop your best player unless your injured . maybe this is elliotts way of saying your playing well by droping his best player , suits his coaching style .

 

[whatwhat]

This team is dreadful,

Thommo who has been the best so far this year back to the bench.

Carney who has shown promise with game time he has had to PL, he should go into HB and then Withers to the bench.

Mogg/Howell keep their spots while Chalk/Ale rot away.

Raston dropped when Hodgson is utter sh*te these days, why not give the younger guy a go at least he has a future.

Why not just put Thurling onto the bench, he has the goods.

At least Frawley is back, one positive sign, and Zillman has a chance.
