Good to see wright continuing playing 5/8 this week.
I wont be adding to our attacking prowess "this week" but I am glad he is there.

 

[tye]

Have to agree, poor bloke is being crucified, I really felt sorry for the kid last night. He has been thrown in at the deep end & is strugling. Obviously he has the talent now lets give him the time.

 

[The Popper]

Ditto.

Wright is there for a very good reason. But we will never see the best of him at 5/8. Good to see you are on the ball for a change Tye.;-)

 

[Stonecutter]

Everyone seems to forget he is still only 18 when they critisise him.

One thing is for certain, he is definitely not another Karl Filiga.

 

[sharknows]

He's not ready yet!

 

[Johns Magic]

Will Afamasaga actually start?

[Mr Angry]

Wonder if Pommeroy will defend @ 5/8 with Matt outside defending centre, like last week.

Please Ricky put the Cov back on the left. Please.

 

[DJDL]

Can't see Cov moving left Angry.
I get the impression that right wing is the only place left for him in the squad.
Blake is a far better option at left wing. I know he's having a rest, but I think that's the way it's going down

 

[DJDL]

double, sorry....

Why though?

What is wrong with Blake on the right? Or for this match Misi.

I don't like Cov and the Pom together.

 

[Special K]

Covell has to go

 

[Mr Angry]

I don't think that is part of Rickys plans.

I think because most of our play goes left, so you want your most potent attacking weapon on the end of it.
Last year we saw a heap of breaks made down the left only for Cov to be nowhere in sight or, if he was, to be run down within 10 metres.

Speed on the left is the way to go IMHO.

And for mine, aside from experience, Cov has pretty much lost everything else he brings to the team.
His kicking has been erratic this year, he is not as safe under the high ball, and he is not taking the bombs as consistently as he was in the past.

Sad to see, but that's the way it is.

 

[The Dodger]

i agree djdl

if only he had some games at centre.

 

[Mr Angry]

Speed on both sides for mine.

Covell hands are not as good when he is on the right.

My stance is the same it has been for quite some time. Covell to left centre or left right out.

But Ricky signed for another season and continues to talk him up.

 

[theyweartheredandgreen]

Toops was a 40- 60 chance of playing up in Brisbane last week.
Does anyone have any information that he will play this week?
