Teams vs Knights

[Snoop Shark]

Mapp, Bailey(in centres) and Simmo are my only concerns. I am really starting to like our depth in PL!!!

 

[Thomo.]

beeks is right, that'll be the make up for the squad barring injury. bails is a short term thing till vagana is back. i pretty much expected that to be the side.

SS - yeah ive heard soooo much about Luke Douglas, but i shall have to keep my eye out this year.

if latu comes off the bench, he could spark something. raper must be trying the sully connection again. predictable really...

our forwards need to be strong this year to ensure we get anywhere. stevo was good for us to the end. hopefully ross can bring something. but definitely need the other forwards to shin, hutch can go missing and his defense is questionaable at times.


Kurt Puhotara is a gunn and ive said so last year. one to watch. thats if he's got priorities straight in life

 

[fizman]

If that is the side, I will give up now because quite frankly, that is a disgraceful football team. And let me also add, that with the unsettling situation of Coaching movements, THIS is the year that we could win the Premiership.

 

[Thomo.]

mapp, ive really got concerns about this bloke, nothing has been indicated by people who have seen him play for Clydesdales that he has anything. why o why?

 

[tye]

Give him a go before we start giving it to him...give him a chance he hasnt played a game for us yet.

 

[Thomo.]

tye, no probs, i'll take your point of view on board, but i haven't heard great raving reports at all from qlders/broncos supporters.

i hope he does turn out alright.

 

[spirit of league]

Might struggle to lose a game you mean?

mods is there any way we can schedule this to bump to the top again following round 19 ?

 

[sydneysharkbrisbane68]

So is Pee Wee still injured.

Is Bailey our stop gap centre (this worries me)

Hutch starting (hasnt raper learnt yet)

 

[Quigs]

Firstly I'd like to say that I hope that come Mid October I am still pissed and still trying to wipe the egg off my face - if we win that thing called the competition.

Three weeks out and I just can't get excited. I hope I am bloody wrong.

Time will tell I guess.

Let us all enjoy the ride.....

Cheers
Quigs

those two things worry me also. i'd like to see a young bloke get some experience in the centres so that we don't have to use the stop gap situation again throughout the year.

unless Hutch has improved fitness even further

 

[coolumsharkie]

Exactly Thomo_shark..

Bails in the centres? What a coaching masterstroke.

I think I've said this before but my prediction is thaT Forum members will scream for Albert at fullback by rnd 2, Raper to do it in round 22.

 

[Nuffs]

Interesting that Tony Caine has jumped a few rungs up the ladder to be PL hooker. He's very highly rated down there.

i didn't think he would be re-signed, let alone start in PL

but if he plays better than he drinks, he'll be a mega-star

Has Douglas shown anything from his trials?

He is talked up like he is the Messiah of front rowers for the club, yet the only time I've seen him deliver has been in the wee hours at Carmens.

:lol:

i rate douglas well ahead of selmes. so i'm happy with douglas being given a crack at first grade. although i still think he's at least half a year away from being a "first-grader"

4. George Carmont
5. Brian Carney
6. Jarrod Mullen

There's no way that Joey will risk himself in this game, right? Also, poor Carney, being stuck outside Carmont. Pretty good team overall, we should be able to easily win this one.

 

[McLovin]

I'd rather see Carney outside Carmont than Gidley...

 

[Frenzy.]

fizman, that very thought passed fleetingly through my consciousness.

Then I realised where I was and who we were thinking about.

 

[beekershark]

Pommery will come in if injury allows, but the chances of raper putting him in ahead of scott are very very slim all things being equal.

 

[Snoop Shark]

Give him a go before we start giving it to him...give him a chance he hasnt played a game for us yet.

I'll give him a go tye, in PL...

What was the point of paying all that money for him if he isn't going to play firsts?

 

[beekershark]

How much was "all that money" mate ?
and to answer your question, who the f**k knows !?

 

[PHaTMaN]

I can't remember how much I heard he was one, I remember thinking it was a heck of a lot for someone who has hardly played 1st grade, about 140K a year if I remember what I heard correctly (and if what I heard was correct).

If that's what he's on, it seems a lot to be paying a reserve grader.
