Team List Tuesday - Rnd 1 vs Storm

[the phantom menace]

I reckon to show what a dick the club thinks Matterson has been, when they name the team for the first three rounds they should leave the 13 jersey with a blank name, or like they did one year in Origin having a tbc.

And then in the week he's due for return shove Matterson in the 18 jersey anyway.

Well if we are 3-0 to start the year and flying.

I would be tempted to bring him back via NSW Cup for some hard earned match fitness depending on the status of form and injury of the backrowers

If 1 nsw cup suspension is equal to 1 nrl game suspension, can we name matto in. Nsw cup, suspend him, then name him for nrl, suspend him than that's already 2 games served in 1 week.

I mean if ja can play nsw cup and a nrl game in 1 week, why can't matto and Russell?

Definitely. Fingers crossed we start 3-0!

 

[strider]

This is my point in not having a fullback in nsw cup.

If we take it from nsw cup, then rankin should be the fullback and that would be worse.

I do think ba will pick moses, but i think dyl would be good there.

Pou will say we need his defence but then pou says ja has good defence.

Who would you choose strider?

I think we showed that we consider Russell our backup fullback given that he played there in the first trial ..... so that would mean both our first and second choices are out.

I dont know if we would want to use a top 30 spot on Rankin this early in the season. Dunno if the NRL would give us a dispensation.

Dyl to fullback may be the best option ... and JA

I don't think Russell played alot of games at fullback in reggirs last year.

At this point in time, moses is a better half than dyl so we shouldn't shift the better half to fb. Sivo or will most likely a no. And definite no to waqa.

Rankin was asked to take an upgrade to NRL last year and said no... why do some of you think he would do it this year?

Does the club think Matterson has been a dick, or are you simply predicting what you think they think?

We don't want him near the nrl team.

He is slow and not a better option then JA anymore.

I agree, but a couple of people have mentioned him as a FB option and I was wondering why.

The point was, why was he taking the. 1 spot for a time in reggies when we dont have a backup 1.

Ja is our back up 7 so he should be in NRL for experience or playing in the halves on reggies.

So the likely scenario is ja into the halves and one of the halves goes to fullback as none of the 3/4s available would be a safe fb

The question was, which half?

No one wants rankin at FB. We were saying how absurd it was.

Especially what he had dished out in the trials

 

[emjaycee]

If Gutho and Russell are both unavailable, maybe Asi is over his leg injury and can slot into fullback?

2 posts before mine, Strider mentioned Rankin into the top 30 if NRL would give us dispensation.

That seemed a negative to me.

I'm just adding banter on a footy forum. You should try it - it can be kind of fun

Maybe but asi hasn't played a trial yet.

Asi, if fit , might take the 14 spot instead with ja starting

If Asi is fit, putting him at FB and JA to the bench reduces the total number of changes needed.

1. Asi
2. Sivo
3. Penisini
4. Blake
5. Loizou/Dunster
6. Drown
7. Moses

14. JA

It's an option. I wonder which way ba will go.
