Team, R12 onwards

Matai is likely to cop a 4 weeker. Rose and Foran should be back after the bye. What do you think Des will go with, what would you pick?

Good team, I like the bench, it’s the centre that worries me while Matai (if) is suspended, it looked bad and I think will definitely cop a few weeks.

I don’t get Buhrer on the bench, first two games stayed on the bench and last night, limited time on the field (very limited)

Bailey is a concern, as I think his positional play isn’t great in the centres and he seems slow, maybe Whare is a chance he is playing well in under 20’s

 

[Dutchy]

I just think Kite, Rose and Cross is enough props. I'd either have a utility (which we don't have) or a second rower on the bench. Better for re-shuffles in case we get injuries from 1-7 plus 9. We have already drawn a line through Seu Seu playing unless Ballin is out.

 

[caspersparks]

yeah.. no Bailey...
everything he touched turned to sh*t last night, i dont feel confident with him starting..
bench watmough.. give him a scare.. he has been on auto pilot all year.. while everyone has stepped up this year (lyon, matai & trex esp) he has gone backwards, he knew he was a guarantee for s.o.o after last year so he has been lazy..prob missing his connection with ox... but needs a foot up his arse..

 

[eagles4eva]

I have to add that King has been outstanding.

with Matai facing 4 weeks, Maybe Farrar to centre and Hoppa to fullback (is it time?)

 

[Dutchy]

Leave Farrar be. He is adapting and improving.

Agreed, mind you both he and T-Rex let a few bombs bounce last night, I know Haynes kicked them into orbit... But the high ball is still a concern.

Just hope Bailey doesn't get the centre position..

If your going to bring in an under 20 player for one game, wouldnt it be little hoppa?

If so I would put farrar in the centres and little hoppa at the back.

Whats farrars problem with the bomb - he seems terrified of any bomb put up? anyone know why?

I dont know if he is terrified or technique, either way he has put a few down, but overall very soild at FB and thank goodness we had him to replace Snake...

I am just a fan of young Hoppa, he seems like he has so much time in u20's, but a big step up to 1st..

 

[zombie jesus]

I would play Hopoate at fullback and Farrar at centre, no lose situation I believe. If he plays to his potential then we have found a brilliant fullback, if not, he at least gets a taste of first grade and can go back to NYC and work on his game some more.

 

[clipser]

It will be bailey in the centres.. lets be perfectly honest here. Des will not play hoppa.

(heres hoping that comes around and bites me on the behind)


ps i want hoppa to play damnit

George Rose - Recovering from knee injury. Return round 12

thats on the offical website, anyone heard anything about his return or injury

[zombie jesus]

I don't know how far away he is, but with George you can probably bet he will take a bit longer to get back from that type of injury than your average NRL player, he's already top heavy and I doubt he's got any smaller.
