Team list Tuesday - Rnd 2 vs Sharks - Johnny Mannah Cup

[Poupou Escobar]

Of course your opinion matters, in general. But you were responding to my question about why Arthur's picked his son last week but not this week. In that context your thoughts on the player probably weren't part of BA's decision.

 

[Gronk]

You didn't. Peanut

Yeah I did.

 

[Gronk]

I'm just a deadbeat.

Sure, if you say so.

 

[lingard]

Oregan to rip in against his future teammates

Waqa on the wing, I like
Opacic back

Great Bench too

Agree with all that. But we'll miss Matterson.

 

[hindy111]

We may be stronger with Opacic in side

 

[lingard]

True.

 

[Bandwagon]

I like the look of that hobbled together without enough wingers side.

 

[hindy111]

I am actually tipping Sharks in this one. I like their side and at home they'll be desperate for the win.
Sharks by 14

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I usually like it when Cartwright is in. Hoping he'll kick on.

That merkin Blake needs to give us 20+ carries now he's on the wing. Three other wingers managed it on the weekend: To'o, Montoya and Joseph Manu. Yes he played wing.

 

[Noise]

Much better bench this week.

 

[Twizzle]

gonna miss Matto, he gets through a lot of work, especially in defense

On the weekend he only made 12 runs and 24 tackles. Not a huge amount.

 

[Happy MEel]

Everything he does makes sense. You think it's awesome that Cartwright was picked instead of Arthur but don't understand why he wasn't picked last week. The reason was we already had cover at edge forward in Matterson. This week he is gone so our injury cover needs to include edge forward as well.

Or do you think Coach Nepotism would be off his kid after half a game? Which is more likely?

I don’t think BA is off his kid but I do think he and the coaching staff overestimated his “best off-season ever” and realised he’s not yet up to the speed of first grade. I’m pleasantly surprised he made the call so quickly.

I reckon Sharks aren't good value at $2.25

He thought he was up to it last year. I doubt he's changed his mind after another off season and 45 minutes on the field.

So are Saints at $3.75. No Cleary or Leota.
Manly at $2 and Warriors at $3.10 also nice.

I might do a Saints in Sharks all up.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Agreed $3.75 is a good price for the Dragons

 

[Cumberland Eel]

No way Nrown doesn’t start at lock. I don’t want him getting in a verbal with some shire construction work from the bench!!
