Team -v- the Bye

[Spot]

"With Head Coach Tim Sheens away on representative duty, Assistant Team Royce Simmons as named the following team to take on the bye this weekend.

1. Lote Tuquiri
2. Beau Ryan
3. Chris Lawrence
4. Blake Asyford
5. Rhys Pritchard
6. Benji Marshall
7. Blake Lazarus
8. Bryce Gibbs
9. Robbie Farah
10. Keith Galloway
11. Todd Payten
12. Gareth Ellis
13. Chris Heighnington
14. Andrew Fifita
15. Mark Flanagan
16. Junior Moors
17. Willie Mataka

Simmons stated "Its a long season, so we are giving Fitzy the week off to freshen up, as we see him playing every game this year. Additionally, we are giving Lazarus another chance this week but he has to stay in position. He can't go off and play wing and fullback just because he wants too. He has to think about the team"

When quizzed on his bench, Simmons replied "I've always wanted a big bench but Mr Sheens has never let me pick one". Unfortunately, the press conference ended abruptly when Simmons was advised that there was no game this week as the 'Bye" wasn't an actual team"

lol.. Love it!

Alternative ending:

"... Unfortunately, the press conference ended abruptly, with the legendary Tim Sheens bursting into the room and furiously demanding to know who had been meddling with the hydraulic levers on his ergonomic chair."

Cue the Benny Hill theme music.

False.

I hear that Tim and Royce are going to try something radical to get some more wins on the board.

They have decided to swap the forwards and backs also the masterstroke of Daniel Fitzhenry playing both 5/8 and half back;

1. Robbie Farah
2. Todd Payten
3. Gareth Ellis
4. Chris Heighnington
5. Bryce Gibbs
6. Daniel Fitzhenry
7. Daniel Fitzhenry
8. Rhys Pritchard
9. Benji Marshall
10. Lote Tuquiri
11. Beau Ryan
12. Chris Lawrence
13. Blake Asyford

14. Andrew Fifita
15. Mark Flanagan
16. Junior Moors
17. Willie Mataka

c'mon mate please be serious, there is no way sheens would have 4 forwards on the bench

We should'nt get the 2 points purely based on principal.

Any coach that names Fitzhenry in a starting line up (except a spastic league coach off course) deserves to not get 2 bye points.

I'll take that one on the chin.

how foolish of me, I just double checked with my source and he let me know that Tim had another masterstroke(or possibly just a stroke). he is going to bench Benji, Robbie, Lote and Lawrence so when we are down by 50 in the first half he can inject the play makers to get us back into the game.

 

[bubblesunlimited]

Personally my dream team is:

1.Mullaney
2.Tuqiri
3.Ayshford
4.Lawrence
5.Ryan (until TNT is fit)

6.Benjamin
7.Taumata (Moltzen when fit)

8.Galloway
9.Faffy
10.Gibbs (the smart improved version)
11.Ellis
12.Heighningtom
13.Fulton

14.Flanagan
15.Payten
16.Fifita
17.Waters/Fitzhenry/Shirnack x 2/Mataka/Moors/Cayless/Dwyer/Daniela/Brown/Lui/Lazarus/Tupou/Murdoch (I like the look of him).

I would prefer a forward as the 4th reserve, with Fulton used as an emergency back/hooker and Farah as an emergency half.

Geez, we have depth

 

[Marshall_magic]

Lawrence, Ayshford and Brown in the back row

Daniella, Fitzhenry, Waters and Flanagan on the bench

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

For Souths, I'm dreaming of:

1. Ryan
2. Tuqiri
3. Ayshford
4. Lawrence
5. Brown
6. Marshall
7. Taumata/Lui
8. Gibbs
9. Farah
10. Galloway
11. Ellis
12. Heighno
13. Fulton

14. Fifita
15. (Prop)
16. Moors
17. Flanagan

Fitzy and John Morris have a lot in common, but the thing that frustrates me the most is that neither of them ever get injured therefore they are always available for Shines to select!

Not really.

John Morris is a first grade standard player woefully out of position.
Fitzy is a terrible player playing first grade.

The sad thin is that is only a big bench in tiger land....

Moors, mataka flanagan....hardly giants....

FFS it sucks having no size.......
