When is DWZ back?

When is DWZ back?

Five to six weeks (since the calf injury).

Our for and against is zero. After four years in the red I'm really keen for it to return to the black. This Cowboys game could be key to that.

Hiku and Drinkwater (sound advice) should not be there.

For crying out loud, we're in Townsville, one of the toughest places to play in the NRL. Weren't we supposed to be given a bit of a break, after three seasons away from home? Three games in and we've had two away.

Meanwhile the Tigers get to start with two and Leichhardt and are winless

Pompey...

(I can't be bothered offering the same opinion about how bog average he is week, after week. I'm just going to write his name and presume you all know what I mean)

 

[LeagueNut]

We really need some speed in the backline, not sure where it'll come from though.

yeah, for sure.

I still can’t believe that Vailea doesn’t get a start over Pompey and Wiliame.

We don't see what's going on in training. Maybe Vailea is not training well. Maybe his defence is looking weak. Maybe he's carrying a small injury. Since we haven't seen much of him in games this year it's difficult to judge from the outside why he's not selected. Webster seems to be doing a good job with personnel so far so I guess we need to trust him a while longer and see how it goes.

I think Reece took all the speed!
Will have to ask who he brought it from!

 

[Scott]

Does anyone know if we are staying in Aust, or travelling through the week?

Staying, surely...

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Webster said they were flying straight back to Auckland, so id assume that was Saturday night

 

[Leber]

Same team.

We really need better centres tho.

Don't bring your real sensible, reasoned stuff around here, it won't fit with my emotive, let's sack them all after a loss mentality.

You are right. I just have never seen the upside to Pompey. Give me a guy like Vailea with so much upside, and back ourselves to make him an NRL quality centre (which Pompey will never be, because he has no tools - speed, distribution, rock solid defence etc)

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Drinkwater gone for 3 weeks, Hiku for 2. (Suaalii gets a fine for late shot in the back on CNK.)

 

[Meth]

Ford and CNK out
Taupiki and Sironen in.

Harris hits 200, CNK and Ford out

Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad and Jackson Ford to miss captain Tohu Harris' 200th NRL match.

Excited to see Tuaupiki play. I hope Coach directs that TMM does some attacking kicks. I'm not too sure what he's got but that high SJ kick nowhere near the try line or anywhere in particular is getting no results and a let off for any competent FB or wing
