Mate Crooks is a flop.. I don't think he can handle first grade

Don't get to see Wenty any more, but yeah I've heard mixed things week to week....but he's got class, he's demonstrated that, and he's got speed. Our backline lacks both, I reckon he'd be worth a crack

I saw Folau more than a number of times both in Cup and NYC and you could same exactly the same about him. At least Goodall has good speed, feet and an offload. Worth a shot and more upside than both Folau and Faraimo.

Every time I've seen Goodall he's had about the same pace as some of our back rowers....

He's saying it to ruffle a few feathers.... and start an argument.

He actually says it every week.
And i think it has something to do with the fact that although he knows 'stuff' he is the first to admit he doesn't know as much as the coaching staff and so if that is the side they want to put out there, as a supporter he has to like the look of it. It's not like he can change it.

Looks like our full strength side, apart from those who are injured.

Hope they can switch it on in the forwards for 80mins...

Exactly mate. Who am I to question the professionals? I just try and understand why they do what they do.

Didn't see the warriors game? Api made a break, Crooks and Faraimo were on the chase made no inroads. Goodall from the other side caught him on the line. Goodall is faster than both. While goodall has a few things to work on, especially in D he seems no more deficient than any of the others, maybe there are attitude issues as already alluded to. If that is the case I'd still take Lavaka over Faraimo

XPTs aren't very fast either - I caught one to Grafton once - omfg, most painful journey ever

The track is f**ked. About 10 years ago I foolishly caught a train from Canberra to Central....it took nearly 2 hours to get to Goulburn, quite a bit quicker on the new tracks thereafter.

When there was almost nothing there, there was very little to understand about Hagan, Kearney & Stuart. Better off watching a z grade porno movie than trying to make sense out of non-sense.

So in the latest photos of the boys at training, it looks like the top 17 are in normal training t-shirts.
The Wenty/reserve players are in pink singlets...

Two players that popped out at me were Fa'aoso in a training shirt, and Tepai is in a singlet. Could Tepai be getting a week in Wenty? And Fa'aoso making a return to first grade?

Without a single game in years? Would be a surprise. Did Wicks play any reserve grade?

I thought the same thing.

I'm pretty sure Wicks played about as many games in NSW Cup as Fa'aoso (i.e. one). They're supposed to be ready for first grade by the end of the off season, unless they've spent two years doing nothing more vigorous than star jumps and riding a pushie.
