hmm... little worried at the bench, but fitzy will cover hooker i presume.

 

[tiger78]

not a bad team

that bench is very young, i hope they handle the big doggies team......

Young it is, but to me it seems to ooze class. good to see Fitzy back on board. Can anyone tell me if he had a run under his belt before coming back into the top flight?

 

[JOELCORE]

I like the bench.Will Halatau be used a back or forward I wonder.

he ran around the oval :lol: just joking i hope he is alright aswell, maybe a smokey late withdrawal to bring someone up for their first game

That is a good looking forward pack.
Though I think we are a bit light on the bench. I would of played a bigger forward off the bench.

the team looks pretty good, fitzy played really well when he played a few games at hooker and will add alot of spark with his dummy half runs trying to catch out the tired forwards. Good to see harrison back in the side and buettner is regaining a little bit of form.

 

[Wrighty79]

it could be worse, Graham could be starting. :shock:

lets be greatful that we atleast have some size. With boof in the starting 13 we have added go forward.

Bit worried about the bench. I would have dropped Payten back to the bench moved Laffranchi to prop and started Bronson in the 2nd row so there's some size off the bench. Oh well.

 

[HappyTiger]

Great to see Fitzy back.He'll add some spark to the attack as long as he remembers to go forward. and not sideways.I thought Heighnington played particularly well on the weekend and may have been called up but Harrison gets the Thumbs up from me.And finally Boof is starting.

 

[holla4amarshall]

skando laffranchi and payten wont all come off at the same time there will be 2 props on the ground that are fresh all game bar the first 20 mins when we have 3
so it seems ok to me
good to see fitzy back and harrison
c'mon boys fire up

not a bad team.. bechn is a little bit of a worry.. as long as it is used effectivley it may pay off..

i'd rather see payten come on as a repalcement.. he has a few ball skills and with tiring forwards in the opposition it would be handy for an offload or one of his now trademark flick passes..
but it's still isn't all bad.. skando and payten and gibbs can math the dogs.. it's just up to them on game day.. and galea and laffranchi in the 2nd row i like alot..
as long as these guys cna get a good roll forward.. that backline will be able to do some magic..
here's hoping

 

[Stellar]

Fitzy will need to make a huge impact coming off the bench. The Bulldog forwards will be getting tired when he comes on so he'll need to make a few scoots from dummy half.

 

[Eye of the Tiger]

i dont like seeing mears start Defensivly senter is the better of the 2

And defense will be a big factor in this game

 

[Trollhammaren]

The bench #-o I've got my worries. Also annoyed Daz isn't playing. Any way, hope they put in!

 

[Mighty Tiger]

it could be worse, Graham could be starting. :shock:

Since he hasn't been named in the PL side that really wouldn't surprise me

Also Interesting to note that Viane and Dickson havn't been named either ;-)

I wonder what Small has done to Sheens to not get a run this year ????

 

[HOT028]

i thought viane was injured, also mears starting will be better for us as our defence is strong in the first 20 mears gets found out when all the boys are tired so he should be having a rest after 25
