Team list Tuesday vs Rnd 1 vs Dogs

[Pazza]

Does kelma play many minutes in the middle?

Talagi named in the reserves again, I'm starting to think they rate this kid.

Emu would strengthen that bench and as for Sivo, well lets see if Harper can tackle

What position does Talagi play. There's not much info on him online.

Line-up pretty much as expected, with Sivo's suspension delaying the choice at centre between Harper and Simonssen.

Great to see Hands named on the bench, and BA seemingly adjusting his previous unrealistic stance about attempting to play one hooker for 80min.

I'm worried about the inroads the Dogs could make in the outside backs (Crichton, Addo-Carr), so gameplan-wise I suspect our only chance is to run over the top of them through the forwards/middle all day long.

Where’s the young ranga winger ? Injured ?

the fact that the club didn’t recruit outside backs is absolutely embarrassing. We didn’t make the 8 last year and we won’t be making it again this year. What a shit backline that is. Dogs by 18

If that rabble beat us at home by 18 I’d sack BA whilst he was walking to the carpark.

Just can’t believe that backline. What a time to be alive. Superman, Harper all household names and future immortals no doubt!

Yep....it's quite depressing

Utility ffs

 

[lucablight]

I'm certainly not excited about the signing, but he is a fringe first grader (i.e. better than a backup), and therefore better than Cini and Dunster.

I’d say 2021 Dunster was better than Harper. He was looking like a solid first grader before his injury.

2021 Dunster doesn’t exist anymore.

Harper is leaps and bounds above 2024 Dunster, and any generation of Lumelume and Cini.

Their backline is only marginally better than ours, but significantly weaker at fullback. Their halves are without doubt the worst in the comp, and their forward pack outside of Kikau wouldn’t beat many nsw cup teams.

taking in account its round one and combo’s and match fitness won’t be 100% yet - we should still easily win 13+

For sure. But 2024 Dunster is worse than 2021 Dunster and 2024 Harper.

You are probably right but I was more lamenting the sad state of our backline and the fact our management consciously did nothing to rectify the issue. Look at what we are left with?

Hometown favourite Grant Atkins is the ref this week.

 

[jk13]

if we lose to those halves then we really have lost all hope

 

[King-Gutho94]

Whats the crowd prediction for Saturday - Surely this game should be sold out. Considering we pride ourselves on being the most supported Sydney Club. There should be 27-28k at a bare minimum.

Forecast is 27 and sunny on Saturday afternoon.

If we don't sellout Commbank this Saturday - round 1 - 5:30pm Saturday game with winter sport not yet starting and against the Bulldogs our arch rivals.

Then clearly something is amiss with the current membership structure. Either fans are paying memberships not to go. Or fans are fed up with the place.

Well… put this one down for a loss then…
