Please no Collis. Ayshford looks good and is settling in. Collis needs 4-6 weeks to get his confidence back, he always does after an injury. Than he gets injured again.

Where is Galloway and what exactly is wrong with him. the injury (from memory) didnt look that bad. Wasnt he due back several weeks ago. Robbie is missing him badly, we all are.

I like Morris off the bench, he belted Thurston on Sunday. we need him to do a similar job on campesie, just incase he decides to find some form against us.

 

[N.C.]

No sign of Daine either...

 

[madunit]

Galloway is apparently expected to return next week.

Thats OK. We wont miss him.

Dwyer looked solid without doing anything fancy. Laurie looks fancy without doing anythiung solid. i cant believe he still does not know how to stand in the defensive line. he still runs out the line and then gets himself stranded in no mans land or gets his legs all jumbled while sliding. i may be a harsh critic but hes had enough time to prove himself.

 

[aids]

having collis as 18th, baring injury will stop him from playing for either bret or magpies, right?

 

[macnaz]

He has done JACK this year and he wont be here next year so why even rush him back.

 

[westie]

Because Ayshford is your centre. Seems quite simple to me.

 

[Gus22]

I'd be more than happy to see Collis replace Ryan on the wing.

Too right.

Collis is bigger, faster and more skillful than Ryan.

I don't think Ayshford will be centre next year either. Gasnier wouldve done jack too if he had to play outside a certain person that was playing half for the majority of the year that cannot - will not pass.
Collis is class. Watch this one come back and bite us.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Still think Collis vintage 2006 is the best centre we've had go around for us, looked the complete package, could break the line, put his winger away, defended well and so on. Had enormously high hopes for him.

Unfortunately it's 2009 and he's done little since, through injury and poor form. Would have liked to keep him, but he probably got offered a good deal at the Sharks and I can't fault management for baulking at matching.

Ayshford has looked very solid in only a handful of games there - certainly hasn't put a foot wrong. Don't think he has the natural ability of Collis, but still looks more than capable.

Agree with you on Collis and J-Mo.

Didn't mind J-Mo coming off the bench and replacing Corey Payne. Seemed to work okay last week and perhaps the week before.

 

[macnaz]

I'd be more than happy to see Collis replace Ryan on the wing.

Yeah i didnt even think of that, i would use him there for sure. Im sick of watching Benji throw beatiful passes to Ryans wing and the knob jockey is no where to be found.

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

John Morris could be used effectively as a bulldog. You can specifically get him to target 1 player all game and be a mongrel. He hits hard and is a good defender. Nothing else however, especially in attack.

for a winger, Ryan never seems to be where he is supposed to be.
in defense he is usually 2 players in, and in attack usually 5 meters behind.

 

[brooksy19]

I'd dearly love for us, for once to put these Green spastics to the sword... However i'd accept a Golden Point Penalty Goal (For a strip) as well, just to square the ledger.

We win and our season remains alive and even better it buries their season completely.

 

[N.C.]

Good point. We are well and truly due for a season defining win against the Raiders.

 

[westie]

Collis got the f**k out of the club, never mind big money.

Why put him on the wing, his whole game is using his winger and usually skipping to the outside, why not put a dude who just runs (ayshford) there. Better yet, someone good.

 

[b.bear]

no D L again must be in the s..t with tim and roy cant use same tactical excuse this week (NQ fast men will find him out) not to many bowens down at the ACT just giants ....
