Round 4 vs Knights

[Crush]

After the right edge lets in 2-3 tries, after Lafai fails to kick two goals from the sideline and after Aitken fails to pass the ball to his winger, Mary will panic and bring Lomax onto the field. By then the game is lost and it is too late.

If Dufty repeats the form from late last year, Mary will then have to consult with the senior players to get approval in who to hook, Aitken or Dufty.

No matter what the circumstance, Hunt is not a hooker however, he could be our dummy half if McInnes is injured. With no hooker rotation it will be up to a middle forward to defend in the hooker position.

Feeling negative about our chances mate?
I'm feeling positive. I'm happier now that Dufty is at fullback. I think we will bounce back over the next month of footy and come back into contention for the top 4.
As I have mentioned earlier, the unwanted side effect will be Mary gets his extension but I accepted that was going to happen anyway a while ago so I'll be cheering when we are back on top.

I guess Mary hasn't thought of having Robson and 3 forwards on the bench I'm sure at a pinch Robson could fill in for a back if need be and the forwards then don't fatigue as much if the bench is used

I have a feeling saints will go on a massive run. We’re a top 4 team

Lino is a good get for Newy. Played great for the Warriors last year.

 

[West coast dragon]

Yeah, and Brownie returns to replace the imposter that’s current SGI “coach”.

Yeah can live with that! Lol

I rate Nathan as a coach some might not but he won comps itln the UK no mean feat by anyone’s standard

We all know Ronald McDonald would-be an upgrade on the incumbent .but let's go for the pointy end this time. Let's see who's available at the time Mary gets sacked in 20 years. ...

Sorry...I don't....UK is at a different level to NRL...Colin Best was a superstar over there...enough said really.

 

[Dragonslayer]

Field, Pearson and Allgood have all been named in the CC squad, so I guess they wont get a gig in 1st grade.
My guess is that Friz will either miss this week and just be 18th man, or, he will come onto the bench in place of Leilua, and given a slow re-introduction.

But, we will know for sure very earky as the CC game is the precursor to the NRL game.

That’s you’re opinion and you’re entitled to it!

Thanks mate...yeah...that is just my opinion...could be wrong though...glad we can have a civilised discussion and not go off at each other...cheers mate.

no probs I reckon he’d be better at the saints than Mary doubt we’ll ever find out but

We need to get the word out that’s it’s ok to disagree with someone without the personal attacks and vilification

Spot on mate.

Gday WCD... hope you are still on the mend.
I will make my conclusions about Brownie as an NRL coach after he see how he goes this year with a decent squad

I reckon we might be able to make that conclusion this weekend. If Mary out smarts him, he's a f**kcen dud.

 

[This Year?]

I will be very disappointed if we lose this.

 

[This Year?]

Heading to First Newie game, anyone know best place to park? Thanks

There is parking at the ground if you want to pay or if not then expect at least a 10 minute walk to park in one of the nearby streets at least if you get there early.

Lino is a good get for Newy. Played great for the Warriors last year.

Must be a fantastic player to take Kurt Mann's position at 6.
