[ceagle]

Whats going on with Shaun Berrigan? Surely he is a better centre option then Lewis Brown.

 

[M2D2]

Injured.

 

[Timmah]

Correct.

 

[MisterLove]

He was named in the vulcans side last week wasn't he?

 

[Patorick]

He was named in the vulcans side last week wasn't he?

Yeah, didn't play though.

 

[Timmah]

Late withdrawal was my understanding.

 

[Patorick]

Cecchin.

Grand Final.

WTF?

 

[gronkathon]

Methinks the butterchurning that Hayne gave the Warriors against the Wests Tigers guaranteed that he would not be making an appearance in the decider.

Surely there are better options than that f**kstain Checcin though

All sides and officials now named.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

That Dogs side -- pretty much the whole team has played first grade before.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Dogs would have to be specials or its a choke, simple as that. Warriors are specials in the NYC to, firstgrade as much as I hate to admit, Manly by atleast 10.

[ByRd]

I dont know whether to be happy or depressed about our NSW cup side, many of the players are down there cause they haven't been good enough for the top grade, we really should take it out again.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Yeah, didn't play though.

From my understanding I dont think he wouldve played regardless, based on the rules you needed to play at least 6 games in the last 10 weeks to be eligible for NSW Cup or something like that.

Maybe theyve changed the rules I dont know.

But I go back to 2005 when Matt Petersen played about 4 matches leading into Parramatta's Premier League GF against the Roosters but was later ruled out cause he didnt play enough games and they had to bring in this young kid called Jarryd Hayne from Jersey Flegg, which you're allowed to do.

 

[firechild]

I'm quite surprised that Des has named Mauro in the 17 with Lussick at 18. I don't think Des will be changing the 17 before game day but you never know. Mauro has been playing great but Lussick's size and aggression could be handy against a very strong Warriors pack.

All sides and officials now named.

Surely John Palavi will come in for George Maka, if he is fit, Lousi to bench.

One thing that keeps surprising me is how Fotofili, who has performed well all season, has been looked over in recent times in favour of Ligi Sao.

 

[Canard]

Anyone know if the lower grades will be shown in Melbourne, obviously I have a special interest in the 20's.

 

[whall15]

Considering how bad Shayne Hayne is Cecchin is actually a decent choice.

Which demonstrates the quality of refereeing in the NRL.
