Telstra Premiership Round 2 - All the info

GK = Hunt

Oh f..k! Double f..k! Mind you he can't be worse than Hodges is at goalkicking!

Is Ennis injured? Surely he should have been ahead of John Te Reo.

 

[lockyno1]

Just not picked!

Bennett seems to have concerns over Ennis' fitness levels/confidence.

I'm sure Te Reo will make a good go of his opportunity; he was the Clydies' player of the year in '06 iirc.

I don't care how Ennis' confidence is, we will struggle to win as we now don't have a damn kicker! Dumb move. Get on the Warriors 13+ as a result!

 

[Timmah]

A few of your players have varied kicking skills, get a grip.

Yes and our best one happens to somehow not make the 17!

 

[Timmah]

For reasons you don't know. Grow up and wait for an explanation. You don't know everything.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

as much as i dislike his usual demeanour, most of us are entilted to a whinge everynow and then... i mean Locky's is about ennis not beng in the team, on past occasion yours has been about threads not going strictly on topic.

 

[Timmah]

He's acting as if he knows the reason why Ennis isn't playing - and he doesn't. He's sooking and chucking a tanty about him not being in the team, when he has no idea why.

Well he can't be in that bad form, played well in the WCC and then he played last week. For crying out loud, I like Karmichael Hunt but he should not have to worry about goalkicking on top of trying to play a new position! Ennis is a much better kicker and frankly we are going to have to score 2 times the amount of tries as we don't have a kicker. This combined with the fact we struggle to score tries without Lockyer at the best of times!

 

[Timmah]

FMD.

He could have personal reasons, he could be carrying a niggling injury.

Get off his freakin back and read the text that's being written.

 

[lockyno1]

He played last week, how the f**k does he have a injury. Barring a dead miracle he will be named this week in the Qld Cup. Personal reasons, well that is laughable, if there were personal reasons the club would have said so most likely. I am not bagging Ennis anyway, I am blaming Bennett for being stupid. We will be LUCKY to score 4 tries without Lockyer per match. We need most of those converted to have any chance. Hunt is not a recognised kicker and I would not be banking on him kicking all 4 of those!

 

[Shorty]

I'd try and relax a bit Locky,the game hasn't been played yet so don't go all knights like and think you're doomed just because Lockyer isn't in the team.

Hunt needs to be confident in his goal kicking,wouldn't you rather it be now then later in the comp?
You don't even know how he'll go,he's not a bad kicker at all.
I don't understand why Ennis isn't in the team,who knows.

Meanwhile,I really wish Cartright would stop putting Preston at fullback,I understand what he's trying to do but he's not a fullback he doesn't play like one either.

 

[Timmah]

Saints bombed the crap out of him on Sunday and it paid off... silly decision again by Carto.

Agreed on Campbell. I would have put Hilder at centre, rogers at fullback and then had preston and prince in the halves.

As for Lockyer being out- well I am happy he is out now rather than Round 20. Still doesn't make it any more right that we are putting a guy who hasn't kicked before as our first choice kicker away from home. I would rather have Ennis at hooker, berrigan in the centres, moon at 5/8th. Hunt can have some kicks but i'd rather him not be our first choice one going into a match as we do flat out struggle to score tries without our primary playmaker, as most other teams would as well.

 

[nqboy]

Dogs a chance? For the Round 4 crowd's sake, I hope they keep winning.

Start Winning?

 

[Bumble]

Start Winning?

Lol, my bad...:lol::lol:

 

[RABK]

awesome news for joe picker, really keen to see how he handles the step up, ive got a big wrap on him.

:LOL:

Joe Picker? What in the blue hell is a Joe Picker? Never in my life heard or read anything about him.

Sounds like some random council worker the Raiders have pulled out of the pub and given a jersey. What's his contract - $15, a pie and two beers a match?

:LOL:

:lol:!!! Maybe three beers if he has an exceptional game ;-)

Hell, I think the Raiders should change their name from the Canberra Raiders to the Canberra Bunnings. Most of the bloody names in that team sound like hedgetrimmers, lawnmowers and (in Joe's case if he's not a council worker), a type of cherry picker.
