Probably came at a good time if he's doubtful due to rib injury

Prob doesn't matter what team we put on, they just got pipped by Storm after the fulltime hooter!
So its 15 years since they have won down there.
How many years since we have won at WIN jubilee oval?
Hoodoos continue!

Wasn't that a ripper of a second half though?

Got to love rugby league!
Its the two teams we play in the next two weeks!
Loved Dan Hunts instructions to everyone how to hold the ball after Slater stuffed up play the ball with 90 sec to go!

I'm pretty sure we usually play the Dragons at the other WIN - Wollongong instead of Kogarah. That's where the 'hoodoo' comes from unless I'm mistaken?

 

[LeagueNut]

How many years since we have won at WIN jubilee oval?

Warriors record at WIN Jubilee (Kogarah) - played 3, won 1, lost 2

Rd 19 1996: Warriors 6 St George Dragons 35
Rd 4 1998: Warriors 24 St George Dragons 28
Rd 22 2003: Warriors 30 St George Illawarra 20

That 2003 game was our last away win against the Dragons at any venue.

Wow, didn't think Hurrell would be dropped

 

[Scott]

What's going on with Hurrell. Dropped from the team this week. Apparently internal...

 

[Kick and Hope]

Good spot for Mannering, maybe McFadden is going to turn him into Shaun Fensom

good on them if that's right,, been a while..

Tui is 18th man, did anyone else notice SJ get hurt in the first half, he was tackled and a player slid into the back of him, got both knees up his arse. Slowed him down for remainder of game..

too soon for Tui ?

 

[Meth]

Hurrell has been dropped for his defense.

Rubbish.

“Konrad knows what he has to work on and he’ll do that with the New South Wales Cup side,” said McFadden.

“It’s a performance-related matter concerning his defensive effort KPIs. It has been made clear to him what he needs to improve on.”

I'd be surprised if that's the real reason? Seemed to me that Hurrell was better defensively than Nielson last week. Happy to see Laumape at centre, though.

And oz, if SJ does go down, who do we have other than Tui?

ETA: The KPI bit was definitely missing from the video interview with McFadden.

 

[Meth]

Unless they come out and make clear it's a disciplinary call, then we have no option but to mark it as a boneheaded decision by McFadden
