GET THERE!! ;-)

 

[spider]

misi would have to squeeze browny out maybe

brown does some good things - but who offers more to the team from that position???

 

[j0rd0_ShArKs]

Misi offers more coming out of our own end

Brown looks better in attacking area

hard decision for ricky

 

[spider]

true jordo

they may have to take the opponents strengths into consideration this week when choosing

 

[Fin077]

I think they might both be there.

Big Phil popped his shoulder again on Monday night so it might be him that has a week off.

He'd have to be out surely.
Don't like the idea of Weirdo in the 4 jersey.
Rather see Simmons in the centres and Covell moved to the back, that would leave Misi and Brown to play on the wings.

 

[jc155776]

Covell will never play fullback IMA.

Covell to centres, weirdo to backrow or bench and misi onto the wing.

Ricky is just foxing again.

 

[imasharkie]

Covell will never play fullback IMA.

Why is that jc?

 

[newman]

Dammit Big Phil.

Fix your shoulder and get back in.

 

[spider]

we have played 3 at the back this year Ima without using the great man

i like cov - but his pace is a massive negative for the man

i reckon its either brown or misi to be dropped this week

i wouldnt right loo loo off either???

 

[carcharias]

Cov would be first man I pick every week.

HIs goal kicking and fend is sublime.

Now he can add his electric pace from 20 out to that list.

 

[spider]

dont get me wrong, i have much man love for the great man

i really wish he was quicker

 

[jc155776]

Why is that jc?

Not quick enough,

I love the guy, is one of our best every week, but he isnt a fullback. Has never played fullback either has he?

We have many other options there ahead of him. He is a great winger, may make an excellent Mick Dever type centre, and so should be up in the frontline in defence and using his massive palm in attack.

 

[Pie Floater]

Sticky should take notes from John Connolly about giving Covell some sprint training. (ala costa-Lote Tuqiri)

And he should get in Julie's ear about all the pie's she's feeding him ... he looked to be carrying a few extra pies after the honeymoon.




... failing that, Ricky should park the pie cart just behind the try line. Covell would then be the fastest man in league, over 10, 20, 40 and 100 metres.

 

[Chest Pain]

Has Gal been charged? How far away are Ross / Thomo? We look a bit thin at Prop. Selmes is not quite up to it (although size may be good against the kiwis

 

[carcharias]

gal? no got off or it wasn't band enough to get suspended.

on that ...I still can't see what he did wrong FFS .

 

[Chest Pain]

Hit the shoulder and came up. Creagh stayed down. The one on Gal was worse but did'nt sicken him. Gotta love that Gal grin!!

 

[Fin077]

Gal got 50-odd point carry over so wasnt enough for any time out.

The other bloke that hit Dykesy got 2 weeks.

 

[Inferno]

Thought he dislocated his shoulder? Perhaps a partial seperation. But even then you would have to think he would miss at least a week or 2.

Ross should be making his return as well shouldn't he. He rated himself at 90% for this weeks game last week.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

I think this clash will have a bit more spite than usual.

The Warriors were pretty filthy at Bird doing a Gallen in the previous fixture between the two clubs and Ivan Cleary insinuated that it might be a ploy that Ricky instructs his players to do when the situation requires it.

If anyone saw Ricky at the press conference after the Dragons game, Ricky brought up the issue again that Cleary was "misinformed" and that he maybe looking for excuses after a string of losses.

Also the deliberately missed penalty goal was also another sore point. Considered "not in the spirit of the game."

The Warriors are desperate for the two points so expect them to throw everything bar the kitchen sink at us!! (Literally!!)
