Team v Sharks

[Meth]

This will be a tough one. We get a few troops back.

1- Nicoll-Klokstad
2- Kosi
3- Vailea
4- Pompey
5- Montoya
6- Martin
7- Johnson
8- Fonua-Blake
9- Egan
10- Barnett
11- Ford
12- Niukore
13- Harris/Curran

Res- Walker, Ale, Afoa, Tevaga

As always, I'd be open to ways to move on from Pompey, but he had an ok game, I suppose. Should have scored, for sure.

DWZ is due back, but I think Kosi and Montoya are playing well enough. Could he move into the centres?

 

[vvvrulz]

Got a double Ford up there mate.

Montoya to centre if DWZ comes back imo, Pompey goes okay but shouldn't be first choice.

Curran slots in for Harris who's probably out for a while - huge blow but less worried if we keep showing this much heart.

Yeah got him mixed up with Barnett.

What the actual news on Harris? The fact that he continued after half time tells me that the initial injury wasn’t too bad and he was cleared of anything serious at half time so hopefully it’s just soreness that kept him off.

yeah I think they have ruled out that it was serious. Initially I heard ACL and plunged into despair

Webster said in the presser that they won't know how bad until scans, etc

 

[Blair]

Harris was interviewed after the game and said what Webster said.

Nervous couple of days. If it’s serious then has to be asked why he was allowed back on.

 

[Blair]

Yeah got him mixed up with Barnett.

So Barnett was in hospital after last week's game with 'nerve damage' and a neck brace'? Thankfully he seems fine now.

 

[Benek]

DWZ definitely in for Kosi. Egan and Barnett obviously back in too. Curran gets a shot if Tohu is out. Strong team.

think it was more precautionary

 

[Benek]

Sharks are absolutely shredding the Dragons right now. They’ll be tough to beat next week.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Yep that. He felt nerve pain so they sent him to hospital to be checked but was cleared of anything serious.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

So Curran is outside our best 17 now? That's disappointing given the guy was basically in a NSW jumper two years ago.

 

[Leber]

Barnett in for Harris
Egan in for Lussick
DWZ in for Kosi

The rest the same.

 

[Meth]

I think the thing keeping Curran out right at the minute is a) the surprising performance of Ford and b) the curious experiment of the bald brothers, working as a bit of a double act. To be honest, I still don’t know whether it’s a good idea or not…but I think I want to persist with it for a while.

 

[nswarrior]

Harris out because of injury - hope it is not too serious and we see him back soon

Barnett and Egan back

Kosi had a great game although the fix ran around him. He defused a lot of the high kicks and his kick returns are stronger than DWZ

 

[Izz]

Nrl.com has Harris listed at 13 so hopefully the knee is fine.

TMM out though...

That’s a huge relief re Harris, mostly because it confirms it wasn’t anything serious.
Volkmann in for TMM?
