Team named

[Twenty10]

@LaraPittFox: Kyle Stanley to play halfback for Cutters, Quinlan FB, Mata'utia to centres. Nathan Green heads to 1st grade for Farrell. De Belin starts.

Dear god...

Thompson is out. Definitely

 

[Gomarchin]

Green to replace Farrell?! This is why Price should not be anywhere near our team as first grade coach.

 

[StgeorgeDragons]

Why green when we have mata'utia!

Price can't spell it

(i am guilty of reusing that joke )

 

[mightydragon]

Price needs a concussion test of his own

Its worthy of a rerun!

I agree with your prognosis on Witt ,but i wonder where Williams figures in the future at the club, when they bought him they must have known that he would need some time to find his feet,cant see the logic in saving him for next year by that time his self belief will be shot tgo bits , he should be getting bought along now , i cant seriously see us as a finals contentder this year as dont the bookmakers ,so if they were serious with Willliams he would be in the team ,as i outlined in the above post Price is about nothing more than saving his own paycheque , as far as bringing players "along" he has nothing.

I take your point but I don't think we should listen to the bookies on whether we make the 8. I can't see Witt getting thru the whole season Uninjured tho it would be nice. Williams will get another shot but he should be playing at 7 in cutters if we are developing him. Looking forward to the NSW cup game today to see how they play especially Ailiolli and Stanley is at 7 apparently

I hope I'm proven wrong, but Sam Williams always seemed to lack confidence at the Raiders & from his limited time in first grade for the Dragons nothing has changed. He had ample opportunity at the Raiders to lock down a spot for many years, but couldn't. I think some players struggle with a lack of size and will never make it.

Quinlan might be heading down the same path, especially with his kick returns when he doesn't use his acceleration and almost walks into the defence.

Both Mata U and Runciman playing now live.
So its Green.............

Interesting things to note:
- On 3 separate occasionsz the commentators have mentioned that Mata'utia is one of the formplayers of NSW Cup
- The previews of the game shown Mata'utia scoring a try and setting up a try, as well as Runciman scoring a try, and then it shows Green being bumped off fo Warriors to score...just saying...

Groat is a slug in attack and defence

 

[Highland Saint]

Can't argue. He just looks so awkward

 

[bottle]

Groat is a slug in attack and defence

Which is why he isn't getting a run in firsts, despite calls for it from some in here.

 

[DRAGONSNZ]

haha, someone on here said to me' why do you want all the ''bros'' at the Dragons'... well judging by a whole Toyota cup game and the cutters down by 30 early, I think my call for more 'bros' is on the mark, this little cutters team is getting smashed... please Doust, go and sign Albert vete(prop) or Sam Lousi(the giant), talk to them now as they are on your doorstep this weekend.

I thought he may get a run at some stage, now i see he has difficulty running.
Shame...

 

[bottle]

Some feedback on anything positive appreciated.
Anything form Stanley, Williams, garlic Aioli?

 

[giboz71]

First time I've seen the Cutters this year... Seems they have the same problem as our first grade side. No go forward and no ability to stop anyone up the middle. Can't really blame Price for having to stick with the first graders despite their problems.

We're gonna have to look elsewhere to boost our forward stocks.

 

[TruSaint]

Runci just scored.
Williams looks really frustrated. Trying his guts out, but no reward.
Stanley's best was a kick from the sideline to make it 6-30.
Getting carved up in the middle.
Quinlan trying hard to get some spark.

Bottom line... On the back foot, no go forward, renders our backline void.
