Team v Broncos

[Meth]

Just realized it's Tuesday and the team can't be far away.

Hoping to see-

1- Locke
2- Laumape
3- Nielsen
4- Hurrell
5- Vatuvei
6- Leuluai
7- Johnson
8- Rapira
9- Friend
10- Packer
11- Mateo
12- Mannering
13- Taylor

Res- Matulino, Lillyman, Peyroux, Lowrie

Big game. A win, and we are just outside the 8. A few Broncos backing up.

We are only 1 win outside the 8 as it stands now.

I see Locke has been named in #18. I'd expect to see him play fullback, Fish on to the wing, and Ngani back to 18th man.

 

[Benek]

Surprised to see Locke not named at FB. I wonder if that's based on form or just because he's recovering from injury?

Would prefer to see Laumape play win regardless. If Locke comes in, it's as a straight swap for Fisiiahi

 

[Blair]

Competition should be tough like it is now.

On the one hand I see no reason why either Fish or Laumape would have to step aside for Locke, going on their most recent game.

On the other, Locke's an automatic pick regardless of who's filled his boots when he's injured.

Most of us would now be expecting to win on the weekend? I am.

 

[LeagueNut]

I wonder what the story is with Locke and Fisiiahi...

Is Fish the #1 fullback choice now?

Is Locke just being gradually brought back from injury?

Will Elliott try to turn Locke into our own super-sub? (a smaller Hohaia?)

Or force him away from the club?

 

[JoeD]

a smaller Hohaia

If there was a player smaller than Hohaia he would be classified as hobbit.

 

[Rich102]

Makey you wonder if there is some truth to the rumor that there is a player-swap as part of the Tomkins deal.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

If there was a player smaller than Hohaia he would be classified as hobbit.

haha was gonna say

In fairness to LeagueNut Hohaia was very muscle-bound and was probably one good feed heavier than Locke.

 

[Diesel]

It'll be interesting to see if Hodges plays after getting binned in Origin or how many Broncos back up for this game

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Hope they give parker a rest, man that guy is a beast.

 

[TheDMC]

Surely Locke is still the incumbent. He deserves to remain so in my opinion. Maybe they are easing him back in from injury. P

arker and Thaiday did a lot of work in SOO tonight, they must be knackered. Hodges did throw a couple of punches, and clearly deserves to be banned for at least 1 NRL match, that of course being this weekend's.

 

[ozenzud]

The Fish has been outstanding in last few weeks and finally fulfilling his potential. Locke got injured, gave somebody else a chance who not only did the job but was outstanding. Why would Locke automatically get the nod? What then, does that tell the players?

I like it. Imagine how hungry that will make you.

And what does it say to a play who played outstanding, got injured for only 2 games, and not considered for the first team?

Locke is proven.

Fisiiahi is proving himself.

Hard luck on the Fish,

 

[Aragorn]

Pick on current form.

Fish in.

Locke on the bench.

It tells them don't get injured.

What a waste of a bench spot
