The Team to Play the Chickens

[Special K]

why put gibbo at hooker when sully can go there? It's stupid. If Sully can't play a full game at hooker, sub him off for a forward and stick hilder at 9.

 

[Special K]

oh well then... #-o

 

[Craigshark]

Good looking side..
I dont know if that is the side that will play on Saturday night though.. But it will be interesting to see how they go in their positional changes.

 

[SirShire]

I reeeeeeeally want to see Aitken have a shot at 5/8 again. An interesting side though.

 

[Pierre the Horrible]

Here's the goss. Simmo to fullback. Vagana to shield MaccaG and Peach to aid Merritt. This goes without saying however I beg the question, Where's Franze??? Injured??? I thought we would want bigger wingers to match the Chookies. If this is so, starting line up would have the bookends of Nutley & J. Wiliams, Stevo on one wing, Bickers on the other and toss the wide ball first up!!! That ought to scare the sh!te out the chookies!!!!!!!

 

[blacktip-reefy]

I thought u were being serious there for a second.

:lol:

 

[Dragon Slayer]

I hope Stuart Raper isn't a Brian Smith clone.......... :?

 

[RICHO]

Quote from Stuart Raper - "Franze is in Reserve Grade because he is playing like a Reserve Grader".

 

[Alan Shore]

You serious Richo?

 

[Mr Angry]

Ta, Richo, answers my next question.
Obviously McGoldrick is considered our no 2 centre. Vagana being 1.
with that in mind how are our centres rated by Raper?
1. Vagana
2. Goldy
3. Kent??
4. Franze??

Not sure as I no see PL. How would you(your average sharks fan) rate them?

 

[RICHO]

Dead serious Tama!!!
It was in Big League last week.

and McSharkie, my guess would be:
1. Vagana.
2. McGoldrick
3. Bailey

4. Franze
5. Kent

 

[King of the Hill]

It would be obvious to anyone who watched Bailey in the centres against Melbourne why McGoldrick is suddenly back

 

[SirShire]

McGoldy aint too bad. Could be better. I wish Kent got a start.

 

[King of the Hill]

Here's the c0cks

ROOSTERS: Anthony Minichiello, Todd Byrne, Ryan Cross, Justin Hodges, Gavin Lester, Brad Fittler (c), Brett Finch, Peter Cusack, Craig Wing, Adrian Morley, Michael Crocker, Chris Flannery, Luke Ricketson. Interchange: Chad Robinson, Craig Fitzgibbon, Ned Catic, Anthony Tupou, Stuart Webb (one to be omitted).

 

[Sheros los Deros]

Kent aint going to get a start, cause he's been injured.

I'm not sure I like this side. Why fix what wasn't broke, a winning side?

I thought Dumas was showing some promise, and was worth sticking to, like Raper has done with Simmo.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

I can't understand that comment.

Dumas dropped. He let in 2 tries through critical mistakes
bailey out of centres. He got outplayed for two tries last week.

For mine, that is a 4 try improvement.

 

[Genius Freak]

No Chris Walker? He still being punished?

 

[Sheros los Deros]

How many tries will Goldy and Simmo let in this week?I don't see McGoldrick as an improvement at all. BTW I am not a fan of Kent either.

Simmo has cost us as many tries as Dumas. Yet Raper sticks by one and not the other? Last game Bailey played lock was against North Qld, McGoldrick was centre. How did we go?

I think Simmo's individual try kept him in the side. Good luck to him, I think he shows promise, as does Dumas. I reckon Simmo could have bombed that try last week by not using a step. A decent defensive fullback like Mini will hammer Simmo if he tries to run through him.

 

[spirit of league]

man am i scared about out defence out wide this saturday ! all 4 of our centres and wingers need to fire up and work together for a concentrated 80 minutes or we could be in big trouble... again !

melbourne scored 4 tries last week, all in our left wingers corner. congratulations mr simmons that's a new club record :roll: i hope i'm proven very wrong on saturday night and i do believe there's a lot of improvement to come in this area of our game.

how about putting it together this week guys 'cause if i have to watch hodges bag a double or worse i think i will be sick :-&

Hey....cut that out ! I havent eaten dinner yet!

I reckon its an ok side....lets just hope we aim up out wide this time.

He (Raper) has to do something I guess as 26 points scored against a winning side is just not good enough imo..

Whats Bailey doing at lock??? :?
