Gordon - he's been in outstanding form and should be recognised - he also plays wing and centre.

He has also been very vocal in the first couple of games - can hear him shouting from the stands, geeing up his team, came in yahooing after one of our final tries yesterday. If nothing else he seems in very good spirits so far.

You think he is loud - you should hear Justin Smith, the fullback in Harold Mathews. The guy yelps like a Hyena all game. Imagine the loudest bloke in the crusade out on the field.

Roops pretty sure Cross wont be back until round 5.

According to the sun herald Cross won't be back till round 5 - so White in instead.
White has been powering in the NSW cup - with Cross not having any game time yet White is probably going to be better just now anyway.

Big Tim wouldn't look so bad in our front row

I thought Taia is starting to run into some form and Ciraldo showed the step up from NSW cup is pretty big this year.

 

[Spike]

Yeah I dunno, Taia has not really impressed me so far. Out of the current forwards, to me he seems to be struggling a bit.

 

[Spitty]

Mad Dog in if fit.

Apart from that I think this is a justifiable week to use the old copy/paste.

Injuries excluded obviously.

 

[macavity]

I forgot Taia

I think everyone tends to.....

 

[Johns Magic]

I didn't watch the first 65 minutes of last night's game too closely(was at a mate's watching it on his couch), but from what I saw Taia looked pretty impressive. He's a good hole-runner.

 

[Whats Doing]

From last weeks team

Out - Lulia, Ciraldo.
In - McDougall, White

 

[strewth_mate]

Asked it in another thread, but where was Ciraldo in the second half? Didn't see much of him - I assumed it was because he was injured early.

 

[keeney]

I didn't watch the game, but from stats it appeared as if he didn't play.

Taia made moer metres in that one game versus the Bunnies last year than any forward of ours in the last 2 years. He has the ability, btu I wasn't heaps impressed with him last week (after being a massive fan last year).

 

[Johns Magic]

I think this is the perfect opportunity and the right time for Mad Dog to be phased out. Even though no one else demands selection in the centres...
