Team v dragons

I'm not.
I think he's been one of the few creative sparks in the team that has lifted our attacking prowess. That won't be as prominent from fullback.
I would have preferred Semi back there to be honest, and leave Norman at 5/8th.

I reckon it will be ok against the Dragons. I don't think we're going to try to go around them. Up the middle hard and back on the inside against these blokes (thought I guess the lack of Peats doesn't help that....).

Not a bad side, considering. It depends on how good this Nelson is, who I've never heard of. I think Norman to fullback is the right move, as his kicking game isn't great, so it's the best combo possible.

Nelson was a very talented junior who was one of the fist player the new Gold Coast signed. Has had a terrible 5 years with injury though. Is more known as a back rower. He's a worker.

I know, I know, Watmough is injured and may well be a last minute inclusion.
I am surprised however the team selection didnt have a Media Headline,
"Watmough boycotts team as a show of support for mate Kiran".
Lol.

Think Faraimo has been a bit unlucky not to be getting a run. Maybe its the second team salary cap thing?

Agreed regarding the attacking, in attack I would expect him to probably play more of a 5/8th role , in defence as Fullback.

Rein is a big loss for them, his defence and runs from dummy half have been big parts of their success

It is, it has been mentioned here and pretty sure in the media. He was actually picked before Falou but then dropped before the game.

He is so much better then Falou.

The players should join the 'protest rally' for tomorrow night too - if Peats losing his car isn't bad enough, surely there is more of these issues to be uncovered. The current players are also copping it from bad management decisions.

We will get thrashed tomorrow night, no question and it pains me to say it, but I can't blame the players if they don't put in.

Did you see what Peats said last night ? Obviously a storm in a teacup.

Players to protest ? Yeah that's gunna be productive.
