Team vs Cowboys

[Poupou Escobar]

that would be a bummer woutldn't it?

You mean if Keating played well?

 

[SDM]

I think Ant Mitchell showed enough in 6 minutes during a charity game in the pre-seaon to demand selection, if Kearney doesn't put him in the starting side he should be sacked.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Don't worry about Kearney. Mitchell's got until about May to decide whether he's a Queenslander or a NSWelshman.

No matter which way he decides, you know there's going to be some extra feeling in this year's Origin.

In related news, I came closest to picking our 17 this week:

Picked jerseys 1-17, except for jersey 4. You could say I picked jerseys 1-3 and 5-17.

Yeh boi!



Unlike you, Kearney realises Keating most certainly is our second best hooker, placing him comfortably in the bottom half of our top 2 hookers.

damn you're good! ... i bet u have a big face

Anyways it will be released when Qzzie & Co get back from their long lunch I guess.

Even digging Ozzie over when the team sheet is released now? Dude, let it go :lol::lol::lol:

 

[The Omen]

good to see Mitchell named

not a bad side on paper but like others have concerns with Morgan and Uaisele more so Uaisele

and hopefully Ben Smith has a better week

 

[mickdo]

At least this round we get to play a team who had a win last week ;-)

Not as wide as my hat so it's all good.

What I'm saying is this round he will see Mitchell is more worthy of selection over keating when McGuire is back...making McGuire and Mitchell our top 2 hookers

 

[Prop Forward]

Will be interesting to see who plays at left centre and who plays right.

Reddy has been a right centre all his career, but Morgan has played there the first 3 rounds.

I'd put Reddy on the right...simply because the right centre has to make a lot of tackles.

I certainly hope you're right

 

[Ike E Bear]

At least our opponents didn't get flogged last weekend. Hopefully they're out of gas.


Edit - Missed Mickdo's post. D'Oh.

I hope Keating has a blinder so the rest of you people can SHUT. THE F**K. UP about him.

that would make the decision even easier to drop him as we all know he doesn't string two blinders together and has about 10 weeks between great games. :sarcasm:

As punishment I hope that he had to eat at Cafe 88. :crazy:

:lol::lol::lol::lol: best put down ever!

 

[True EEL]

wow.....still picking Ryan Morgan, and to a lesser extent, Etu.....ok then???

i'm not trying ti know them, but they are not up to first grade right now, Morgan particularly - he simply cannot read the defence and for 3 straight weeks now has planted his feet and watched blokes run around him......

glad to see Webb and Mitchell getting their chances and thank the lord for Joel Reddy lol

I disagree.


I think Mitchell might look sharp against retreating defences but he will once again be very ordinary in defence. Anyway, I see Mitchell as one more for the long-term. McGuire will miss plenty of games through injury and Mitchell will take his chances with relish.


Mitchell might eventually force Morts or Robson out of the team (with McGuire shifting to the halves) but Keating's a proven first grader mate. That's why he keeps being re-signed. He's really not as bad as so many nuffies make out. He makes very few errors and doesn't miss many tackles, and he can play 80 minutes if needed. He's very dependable.

Reddy has been a right centre all his career, but Morgan has played there the first 3 rounds.

I reckon you're spot on. We might even see what Morgan's got in attack with him on the left. I reckon he might be a good linebreaker; the way he keeps being picked says he must be getting good speed and power numbers at training.

:lol::lol::lol::lol: best put down ever!

Wait a minute, that was a put down?!?!?!?!?!

Well f**k, now my feelings are all hurt and I can't even post an emoticon because you used them all up.

Do u line them up with burt-reddy who I rate both as pretty good defender, or do u split them up and go with burt-morgan and reddy-etu and hope they other two learn something off theyre partners?

 

[True EEL]

personally the backline should be something like this.....i'm all for radical change only 3 rounds in, i'm over the inconsistency

1. Burt
2. Walker
3. Smith
4. Reddy
5. Hicks
6. Hayne
7. Mortimer

 

[born an eel]

did anyone see Reddy last week, everyone is counting on him coming back with his best defensive game but coming back from a shoulder can be interesting.
Even if it is medically sound, players can be gun-shy.
