Obviously just a copy/paste from this week - reckon they wouldn't even had the time to worry about the team for this week due to the news today. Surely Isaac has to be out - he looked extremely upset with his injury and looked rather resigned to sitting out for some time

 

[Rolla]

Still no Taufua!

 

[roboshark]

scumbucket robinson as ref


you guys are home for sure

 

[macavity]

wait, we have a game this week?

 

[Bring it home Knights]

I was only able to watch the 2nd half of the game on Monday, but I was super impressed by Tuimavave and very unimpressed by Kaufusi. Hopefully Kaufusi lifts for this weekend.

 

[Burwood]

De Gois must be desperate to play. He had all but earned a contract last month, but since Tinkler's arrival it has taken a back seat to everything else going on. Would be feeling a bit nervous at the moment if I were him.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

f**k off tolar. FFS!!

 

[FootyLegend]

this team, is differnt to the team that was named on NBN News at Six.

 

[Spot On]

this team, is differnt to the team that was named on NBN News at Six.

What was named on the tele?

 

[Jobdog]

The team on NBN was pretty much the same, just with Houston and Edwards moving to the backrow and Karawana slotting into lock.

Naiqama, Tolar and De Gois all having scans tomorrow.

 

[Coastbloke]

f**k off tolar. FFS!!

:lol:

 

[Jobdog]

Ok, so say Naiqama, Tolar and De Gois are ALL out, who the fk do we replace them with? I guess McDonnell comes in for Naiqama, Karawana drops back to the bench as a utility, then we need to find a lock and an interchange prop (maybe Taufua).

 

[Rolla]

Hopefully Taufua is fit. If not Tets?

I know it won't happen but i'd love to see pete at fullback or a rookie 5/8 and gids back there. Shannon is just garbage, god bring kev in and put Aku in fullback... anything but JNR Burger!!!

Could Cook fill the utility role? Seems to be able to fill in at lock or back row, 5/8 and centre at a pinch? hooker?

 

[Serc]

Wouldn't even bother worrying about today's team list, I'd wait for the medical results on those couple of players and other mentions in the media later in the week.

Here's also the round 6 preview (with some better info) with Dunemann:

Also mentions that De Gois problem is his bicep in the latest injury update here (dated late afternoon on the 12th):

Horrible luck indeed.

They'll get their opportunity, hopefully sometime this season.

 

[FootyLegend]

Edwards faces Brain Scrambler today. i think i read somewhere also?

 

[otori]

Fox sports is reporting that De Gois and Tolar are most likely to be omitted from the game on Sunday.
