I think we should forfeit and take a fine

Apparently, there is a current dispute between Board members for either Young or Hornby. And if an agreement can't be reached, a third candidate in Brad Arthur, may be chosen.

It doesn't sound like such a bad idea.
Roosters can take the 2 points, save the embarrassment, let us collect ourselves and have a couple of weeks off.

Grow up the lot of you, what a pathetic whining bunch.

 

[ruthless dragon]

Get out there and smash those smug bastards. Dragons by 20

Here we go, Dean Young is named interim coach until the end of the season. Thanks Dad!

Steel city,

What is funny?

Don’t imagine much change this week and the argument will be the short period of time for getting combinations. A couple of adjustments….
Guler gone, replaced by LPT. He starts on reserves with either Laurie or Kerr to start. L.
Holmes switched back to his preferred side or plays on the wing.
Tu is the other winger. CT comes back via the reserves.
KFlanno starts at 7. But he moves to 9 and gives Cookie a break. When this happens, Read comes on. If Read is going well, when Cookie comes back, Flanno goes off.

the real changes come for our next game after the bye with a bit of time for them to get embedded into the team.

 

[JohnnoMcJohnno]

New coach but he's the old defence coach. Same old attack coach. Same old dud players.

I won't be changing my tip.

 

[Tomrum2]

Tomorrows team selections will be an indicator of what's to come. Should be interesting.

Hope he does well . No doubt you do too

Unfortunately I can’t see anything less than a 50 burger. We will not be able to compete aerially, with both Marky Mark and Toupo to have a field day. DCE and Walker will torture us with their kicks, both long and short, and Teddy will chalk up 200+ metres mainly thru the middle of the ruck.

For us to at least offer something different Reed must play as a starter to give us an extra kicker in general play and some unpredictability. Starting with Kyle will play in the Chooks hand and pose no threat whatsoever. I would even consider playing both LKT and Reed in the halves, they have a combination. I would also like to see Sele start, at least he has leg drive. Guler and Blocker can play reserve grade.

Roll on team list Tuesday. Here’s hoping it won’t be the usual cut and paste Tuesday, including the number changes.
