interesting...Pat O Hanlon ayee?

 

[Eels Dude]

Interesting side. I guess without Poore, Smith, Mannah, Grothe, Hayne, Shacks, and Tahu unavailable Ando doesn't have much choice but to make changes.

 

[Parra Guru]

Wow. Looking forward to seeing how they'll go. I'd start Horo instead of Oake though.... Maybe they will.

looks good to me
injuries etc forced a lot of change, but good to see some fresh faces getting a taste, might also raise the enthusiasm levels too?

more importantly, i like the positional changes - and i'll put my hand up as openly wanting the earlier changes to have 6. K Keating, 7. Mortimer and 9. Robson - but clearly after some initial success, the experiment was not working

so i'm glad to see the changes in team structure, they were needed and i for one hope Jeff Robson goes well, whether at 5/8 or half.....Mortimer needs some help and outside of putting the pouting Feleti there, something had to give

good also to see Matt Keating back, he cops a pasting by some around here, but i have a lot of time for him actually

Kris Keating is a little dead to me over his signing backflip.....

Wow. Looking forward to seeing how they'll go. I'd start Horo instead of Oake though.... Maybe they will.

i agree.....maybe though DA wants someone decent ie. Horo on the bench though if the starting forwards get overwhelmed??

 

[fish eel]

That 1 6 7 and 9 sure looks good!

 

[stuke]

Horo has made a great impact off the bench so far this season and by starting Oake he gives Horo the opportunity to keep doing what he has been so far. as True EEL mentioned I would also say it is a fall back option for DA to ensure he is going to get value out of his bench rotation.

i'm not sure if ur serious or not??? lol ;-)

 

[parra pete]

Plenty of hair, and not much flair in the lineup..Good luck to the boys. A win coming up...
Come on down for Pie in the Sky weekend (*game Saturday night), and get back to Sydney on Sunday in time to catch the match on Channel 9...

[attamarrap]

I'd like to see manakafoa start instead of oake what position does O'Hanlon play back row I'm guessing? when is anthony mitchell gonna get a run? any news on how he is going?

 

[parra pete]

Oake had an excellent game in his last start in the NRL (V Newcastle?)

 

[parra pete]

Apparently the news on the Front Row is ALL GOOD

 

[Djay]

Good to see some youth, but no Mitchell and M.Keating is back. Oh no!

 

[Nikki]
