17.Sargeant (I doubt his ready as he was on the bench this week) /White

Out - Mullen (injured), Lulia (very quiet), Royal (gone missing 2 weeks in a row), Ciraldo(never have been impressed and made no ground again this today)

what about jimmy?

 

[Karmawave]

I think our props have been adequate. Tolar I was very impressed with against the Warriors.

Royal gives away too many penalties but he has good footwork.

 

[keeney]

Tolar and Faas have been the two that have consistently impressed me. Wicks has looked slow and unenthused the last two weeks and Royal's ill discipline has hurt us plenty. I'd sub in Cross and perhaps White.

I'd be happy to see those changes. I'm seriously concerned that the Broncos will show up some of our new recruits for what they are, Fringe players.

Wicks has looked slow and unenthused the last two weeks

This week especially, he has no leg drive when he hits the line.

 

[Johns Magic]

I'm willing to give Wicks some more time. He's that big that he probably needs a fair few games under the belt to hit full fitness and really get going. Didn't he miss part of the pre-season after hitting that car as well?

He's still making plenty of metres anyway.

exactly. while he hasn't looked on fire, we look heaps better when wicks and faaoso come onto the field. wicks is making excellent metres, and asking for more than that at this stage in our season is being a little greedy imo. his impact has been quite in line with what i expected from him.

 

[Jobdog]

In light of the events of the last 24 hours - namely Mullen, Dureau, Buderus all supposedly playing, this is what I think Smithy will name today:

1. Kurt Gidley
2. James McManus
3. Wes Naiqama
4. Adam MacDougall
5. Cooper Vuna
6. Jarrod Mullen
7. Scott Dureau
8. Ben Cross
9. Danny Buderus (c)
10. Dan Tolar
11. Chris Houston
12. Cameron Ciraldo
13. Zeb Taia

14. Matt Hilder
15. Cory Paterson
16. Richie Fa'aoso
17. Danny Wicks
18. Keith Lulia
19. Luke Walsh
20. Chris Bailey

 

[macavity]

Cross will start on the bench first game in (but might be named to start?)

Wicks to drop off IMO - ordinary last 2 games - and Cross will take the impact role.

I still don't understand the value of Ciraldo - don't we have Zeb to do all the tackling?

 

[Pika]

Cross off the bench is a possible. He will need a few weeks to get some match fitness.

If he starts, he may get a spell early, say after 15 minutes and bring on Faas, who has a good tank for an impact.

I doubt Wicksy will get dropped, so I think it will be either Dan or Jess out.

If that is the scenario, imagine running out for the Windsor Wolves this weekend. White and either Jess or Dan in the starting front row with Tafua off the bench.

Not bad for NSW Cup.

I think Keith has been on the improve each week. He is the logical replacement for Doogs. That said, I think Doogs may push for a wing spot.

Would Jimmy Mac be the one to miss out?

 

[macavity]

please, just no doogs at centre

our defence suffers too much
