Team vs Raiders

[perverse]

It's not often someone makes their debut for our club and everyone around here goes "who?". Should be interesting. I've no idea what to expect.

Apparently snowden is going to have surgery on his neck again, same injury he had at the sharks and has troubled him since being here.

This sucks for him. But the timing is questionable. Why was t this addressed at the end of last year?

 

[The Showstopper]

What are you blokes smoking? Feeney can't play hooker, lock or back row so how is he a bench utility?

Neither can anyone else at this club. Hence where our depth issues arise already. It is pure speculation.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

So its been confirmed that Gagai to fullback sione to centre Dennis to debut on the wing. Feeney dropped.

I hope Feeney just has a few niggling injuries to get over rather than actually being dropped.

 

[Sacrolishes]

Same. He did cop a massive hit in the ribs. Playing injured brings down confidence anyway. A few weeks in NSW Cup to get some more technical stuff figured out be good for him. I am excited to how Gags goes. Not expecting a lot positional wise, But hopefully attack wise, the team can give him some room to move.

Thats if he gets an opportunity to attack. Against the titans and souths we had hardly any ball to do anything with, so Feeney never really got a decent go in attack.

 

[Sacrolishes]

Exactly. That's why I was never harsh on Feeney because he didn't have much of a chance to do much with his support base around him. I think Feeney will be back for sure. And hope he is. Just hopefully the team can do the basics better so he can have a chance.

 

[Caped Crusader]

Disappointed to see Feeney dropped. I was hoping he'd get a bit longer a go

 

[The Showstopper]

james Hooper on Sterlo said Mullo is under the pump already with Lamb close to a call up. Those players Brown referred to as being moved on appears pretty clear. I think it has dawned on both Aku and Mullo their Knights careers are winding down.

Add the fact Brown has made it clear he wants the standout rookies locked up contractually sooner rather than later it doesn't take much to work out what his immediate plans are as far as making cap space goes,

 

[mozza91]

Lamb is just back from injury and played shit from what I saw of the 20's on Saturday. Hooper knows shit all about Rugby League, as does every other DT journo.

 

[Newynut]

I hope the Mullinator has a blinder.

 

[Caped Crusader]

Looks like Daniel Saifiti is in doubt with a rib injury. Paea to be brought in

 

[Frederick]

Rib injury caused by Pauli Pauli, no less.

Hopefully he's able to cause the same damage to the raiders tomorrow

Im not worried. Feeney needs time to develop, so a few stints in Reserves as the "Big Fish", would be good for him. It will give him a chance to his good/bad moments and try applying it without much pressure.

If Brown cant drop a young bloke for a few weeks without destroying him mentally, he shouldnt be in the job.

Edit: I imagine Browny will do this with most of the juniors coming through. Jumping between Firsts and Reserves.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

So our under 20s team was a bit of an embarassment today.

 

[PhilGould]

They looked decent in attack I thought. Terrible defensively though.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

So feeney starting in NSW cup, so he has been dropped.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

so far feeney's errors have lead to 2 trys

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Still at Fullback??
