Team v Bronx

[Penrose Warrior]

If Thompson makes the side, SK is kidding himself. Looking at NRL.com, he's missed 26 tackles this season, 3 less than Johnson. And funnily enough I.Luke is right up there with 27. Out of Bodene's 26 misses, I reckon 5-6 odd have directly led to tries. He has to go. And not be re-signed.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

i reckon those 5 or 6 i reckon have been in the last 2 weeks

What's the maximum we can call up from NSW Cup before we go over our second tier cap? That's the answer to how many changes

I just don't believe he'll drop him - it'll be CNK and Afoa, or something random like Ayshford that will be the move

Luke should go too

They'll not do anything, give the players another chance to redeem themselves, and they'll be better against the Broncos reggies

I hope SK has made copies of the articles over the weekend calling for us to be axed and has them plastered all over the walls of the dressing room.

Create an us against them siege mentality and get some fire into this team. Bring some emotion and passion into it

 

[jaseg]

Now apparently Roberts hurt his ankle in training today. I expect him to play, but it's shaky.

Ben Hunt back though. Still not sure on McCullough. Happy at QLD messing with Bennett RE Milford. Oh, he can't come into camp if he's named at 18th man to cover JT? That's alright then mate, we'll just name him at 6 and JT at 18... lol.

Thing is, for the talent they're losing... looking at the guys coming in (forwards, in particular), they're still probably better than some of our forwards.... (Fai, Arrow, Sua)

Fully expecting Bodene, Sao & Gubb to be in the team.

That doesn't work for long

at this stage, as long as it works this week then it is worth it

The Warriors have many ways to underwhelm us

Trust the process...

 

[vvvrulz]

Yep same old plods, no surprises, cast of thousands on the bench.
Trust the process. We awake yet?

Mannering coming back is the silver lining.

 

[Rich102]

Tui is the answer. Not.
Who replaces Steve Kearney?

 

[JJ]

Mannering coming back is the silver lining.

I guess Bunty has some work ons, hope Bodene is mentoring him about the standards expected of a first grader

 

[Fufu Andronez]

God this feels like Cappy all over again

Yep,
Thompson selection unwarranted, been ineffective for a while now.
This is going to be a long 3 years.
Manu and Kata not even on the never ending bench.

Lino and Lolo named to scare SJ and Foran???
He won't pull the trigger on Thompson, so nice try, empty threat!

 

[vvvrulz]

Mate, we needed to inject some passion and discipline, Brodene is the epitome of this.

Good to see Tui back in the mix, absolutely criminal he got chopped.
Why is Gubb not starting ahead of Gavet.

 

[Izz]

All, y'know, about, y'know, the lads, lads, y'know, lads..

 

[Big Marn]

wish he had R&S' enthusiasm about our ISP side. Love to see Pat Sipley get a chance
