Best news if so. Anyone seen him train ?

Hope you're on the money Steelman.

 

[Redvpassion]

Packer will be registered by the end of the month

Like everyone else, I hope so as well.

The way we played tonight would put us 0 from 4 by the time mongrel hits our tream.

 

[Get2dachopper!]

This doesn't sound good in terms of him playing this season........we might have to wait until 2016.

 

[Steelman]

The plan was to give Packer a solid 6 weeks training before playing.
But ofcourse depending on registration and fitness.
From reports at the moment all going to plan.

Also after last nites game im told Rein is under immense pressure to hold his spot. Also Mary was not happy with the backs apart from Marshall and Eto. Dugans positional play timing and ball playing in attack really
disappointed also Dane Neilson display was well below what Mary expected.
Look for at least 3 changes to be made for next weeks game

 

[MaxPower]

Does Packer still have that issue with compartment syndrome in both his calves?

If he didnt pick a pair of centres who dont know which way the tryline is, he may have been happier...

One has to wonder what Mcgregor was expecting ,he only had to watch Neilsen's performances last year to see his best 1st grade days are passed, and yet for some reason he expects that under the Dragon's cutting edge systems Neilsen is going to wind back the clock ,FMD laughable at best.

Relying on a number of players that have been unwanted by other clubs (for obvious reasons to some people anyway) to all of a sudden improve out of sight and regain form of a number of years ago is just deluded, to put it politely.

Seemed to work for Bellamy :sarcasm:

So with Dugan out it has been suggested that Widdop to Fullback but you'd think Mata'utia will be given a chance.
Hopefully Marketo gets a role next week too

 

[Hutty1986]

"man v man"

 

[Dragon66]

The thing with Neilsen is that he didn't even play well in the CS or the WCC.

FMD, No wonder the Warriors were glad to see the back of him.

I still in shock with the dance he did with Chambers to let him score. No mongrel, no heart.

 

[bottle]

Shocking bit of defence.

Hope this happens

That's the whole point ,Mary most certainly is no Bellamy ,we seem to take GOOD players and turn them into mediocre ones not the other way round.

 

[The Commissioner]

Why did Bird leave us again?

No changes to the squad, in particular centres...
Extended bench as per usual, but to be expected.

As others have suggested mate it's probably just a cut and paste of last night's team which is not unusual for a side that plays on a Monday night.
Hopefully there will be some amendments.

 

[Steelman]

Very surprised. Mary's stuck by the same players.
Especially. Rein and Neilson

Could be a case of cut-and-paste due to Monday night game. I'm hoping so anyway, would hope Mata'utia, Le'Strange and Marketo get a look in...
