[IFR33K]

OK, when there is a question mark over the fitness of your half, what do you think Jack would have done ?

Has there been an injury cloud over our halves the bulk of the season?

I was there, so very aware. That doesn’t disprove my point that Kolc was named for the wonky Sterlo.

Comparing John Kolc an Australian representative player to Jake Arthur will just about do me. Give yourself an uppercut, Gronk. Seriously mate.

It's nice that you support the kid, we all hope he turns out to be the next big thing but there is more chance of BA wearing a hairpiece during his next presser.

@Legal Eel tyat is the worst attempt of quoting in LU history.

almost up there with you for worst posting

 

[IFR33K]

Kolc the international? Yeah that’s apples and apples with Jake Arthur…

Twas before my time. Kolc was an international?

 

[Pazza]

You've got no hooker cover.

That's the issue!!

As I have said, I have no time for JA as a first grader. But I also watched Stone at hooker last year in this game vs Penrith. Ouch.

We don't have a zippy halves/ hooker cover (yes, that IS on BA) - but there is nothing we can do now. Picking Simonsson doesn't fix the missing player.

i agree, the club hasnt done a good job replacing that Will Smth role.

My way of thinking is JA lacks any real versatility, why not have a guy like simonson that can atleast cover a lot more positions in case of injury. if anyone gets injuried 1 to 5 you can bet your house on the fact that Drown will be shifted out of the halves for JA. That is something id like to avoid.

Plus BA doesnt like using his bench. might as well have players with versatility for injury cover. Cartwright covers much more than Maka.

I believe he played in a World Cup game? Someone with more experience may correct?

i guess Ba has invested a lot of time in weighing up scenarios, in getting ja onto the field.

And people question posters, when we ask is Ba putting out our best possible team on the park each week.

You have put in an admirable defensive shift…when do Pou and the others clock on?

i hope so

but i just dont get the feeling BA is doing everything in his power to raise the level of performance of this football team.

Objection: relevance

Gronks been going to watch games since at least 1981, he'll answer any questions you have...

 

[Twizzle]

did we just lose this game ?

 

[Legal Eel]

Overruled

 

[Legal Eel]

No, but we certainly aren’t giving ourselves every chance of winning with that bench.

 

[Lemon Squash]

Can’t wait to wake up Saturday after having being beaten and knowing this team has put me out of my misery for another 12 months.

Played 1 game for Aus.
From memory threw a dummy from dummy half and raced down the blind side to score in the corner.

World Cup. Yeah. 1 game if I recall correctly. Had a great game too.

Lads go watch the YouTube vid I just posted in last weeks non Parra games thread.

Great game. 1981 pre season cup final.

I reckon BA has got exactly as he planned for during the boys last pre season. Dont ya love it when a plan comes together. It all comes down to Friday night. Fu*k them up boys.
