Y is covell there and poor old kerr

A bit rough on Kerr, but he should get his chance again if Scotty plays well tomorrow night. Good to see Heighno the rhino hopefully getting a start. Nice to know he's still in Sheens' plans.

 

[simon says]

Yeah,Heighno is a bit of a bolter.Im assuming that cos of the bogger Parra boys that Sheens has gone for a bit more meat up front......

Nice for Rhino,sorry for Fulton though........

Not rough on him at all.....he wouldve known he's only filling in while Prince is on origin duty, but he sure did his job well and he''ll get another chance soon enough. Sheens will have noted his contribution.

 

[Snide the Tiger]

If you watched Chris play in the Balmain win - you'd understand how he bolted!!!

 

[ozcrusader]

Unfortunately, I agree with Snide....

I like the look of Heighno - he should be in the first grade squad more often.

 

[Snide the Tiger]

What is it so unfortunate goan!!!

I use words like surprisingly when I agree with you - but I have no need to be personal and imply it is "unfortunate" on that basis!!!

You so-called Christians really need to get over your dogmatic and judgemental tendencies!

A'saam - A'salaikum!

 

[innsaneink]

If you watched Chris play in the Balmain win - you'd understand how he bolted!!!

Who could forget his match winner against the Broncos at ANZ or watever its called last year....great to see him back.

 

[HappyTiger]

Good team this week.Prince should be ok with the game 4 days after SOO.Good to see Heighnington on the bench too.A reward for hard work.

 

[simon says]

I gues I am surprised as I would have had Heighno behind Lima and/or Small for a start......

But Rhino is a very good player,have no issue with it at all.Just a bit sorry for Liam who played pretty well against the Dogs.

Cheers.

Smally was great simon - but we know by now he is not in top grade reckoning!!!

Smally was great simon - but we know by now he is not in top grade reckoning!!!

And why is that Snide?????

 

[Vicious]

Like just about every coach it seems Sheensy does have his favourites.I suppose there is a reason for it,but it`s hard to fathom at times!

 

[Snide the Tiger]

As Vicious said simon - we just don't get to pick the sides and Sheensy has persisted with the likes of Patto etc - plus elevating Lima - Viane etc before even giving Jamie a look-in to the training squad while he has been the more consistent and solid performer than any of them in the longer term!!!

Not my choice - but I can read the writing on the wall for Smally!!!

 

[B_Tiger]

there are absolutely zero problems with small's first division performances. He tackles harder then anyone and hits harder in attack. He has also added offloads to his game and is always the player to get balmain moving. I'm not saying he is a certainty to succeed in first grade but he should at least be given a shot because there is nothing more he can do in lower grades. Great to see rhino there though.

 

[chunk]

Very good side...Heighington has size and mobility maybe thats why he has gone for him.... he should trouble Parra. Fulton will get his chance later.

 

[skandofan]

where the hell is mears????????

what is wrong with sheens wat else does mears have to do

f**kn awesome game last week

senter- im sorry uve been good but time to retire

 

[Anonymous]

I kind of like Mears coming off the bench. Senter keeps the defense around the ruck tight, then bring on Mears and Rhino Heighno for impact.

 

[super_coach]

i think sheens is picking when possible the same 16 players and roating the 17 player--giving all the up and commers ago-so they get the experience of 1st grade and if needed down the track they would have had some experience--the great jack gibson-used the same ploy---I would like to see fulton again,this kid has got menzies written all over him--in fact they should call him JUNIOR BEAVER
I think by the end of the season,we are going to have a heap of players capable of stepping up to the mark when required--not like early this season when the injuries hit
