dafuq has he done to get a run

18th man, he has done that a few times. Doubt he will play, just gives him some exposure and experience with the team buildup and everything.

Not sure why Fusitua isn't getting a run, and where is the Fish? Both were meant to be back by now, and Laumape must be more injured than we hoped. As decent as Wright was last week, cannot believe he is still in the team with all the talent we have inches away from being fit.

C'mon people are you really expecting to see the Fish?

He has had the worse injury run and a possible shoulder injury that led to rumours of his retirement.

And you expect him to get picked straight into NRL. Likewise Fusitua has a bad injury and is only young so needs to be fully confident.

I would expect Fusitua to force his way by round 8.

 

[Wheeled Warrior]

I thought Fish was finally coming right on defence before that unfortunate injury.
Fus was horrific though.

WTF how much coin his Fishman on? FFS feels like we get loads of money going to waste. Benry Fish, these other locals that seem to be too green. Arghhh Hooker Cappy Hooker

dafuq has he done to get a run

Not sure about his performances so far this year, but a debut would probably be overdue - he was named in the NSW cup team of the year last season, while our NRL guys weren't exactly lighting up the big stage.

Arghhh Hooker Cappy Hooker

Cappy has manlub for TL

 

[MKEB...]

TBH, I am glad that he has been able to pick the same backline three weeks in a row.
A bit of stablity never hurt.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

I hope we smash these cowgirls. A 4-3 start to the season has a good ring to it

I hope we smash these cowgirls. A 4-3 start to the season has a good ring to it

Would need a big reversal of form from both teams

Based on current form it will be a miracle if we even manage to give them a decent game.

Best case: We'll be in it for 60 minutes before we fade away. Cows by 12
Likely case: Cows by 40

 

[WithTheDawn]

Will be a very tough game, but I rather these in some ways. No expectations, and we do tend to rise for these sometimes. Hitting the Cows at a terrible time though, they look pretty unbeatable at the moment. Will be a good sign if we can keep them within 10 points or so, and would be nice to have some hope going into the last 20.

Byrlcreem would probably be interested as at least sleeve sponsors.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

As always in Townsville, I'm praying for rain. If it's wet we can take them, our forwards are as good. Big ask on a dry track.

 

[Izz]

We got dis.
