Matto in cup

Hawkins, Matto, Wiremu, Carty, Tuilagi, Guymer....all in cup, hopefully they all get some match fitness, or in some cases, work on their deficiencies.

That has to be the worst team list post ever.

I agree. At least it's readable. I'll edit it when the LU list goes up.

Carty is obviously being frozen out

Has something happened with Matto off field? I only ask because he was a pissweak late withdrawal last week and straight in reserve grade this week.

Mate it's not BA. We've got a coach now who makes changes if don't perform

Should’ve been more changes then

 

[Gronk]

Prepare yourselves for a hurting boys. I think the Tigers are going to do a number on us.

Wests actually missed 51 tackles vs Knights.

We can only hope.

Did we get another exemption for Samrani to play, or is he definitely top 30? how many spots do we have left?

Samrani has a 2 year NRL contract

Volk may have been upgraded

Loizou only a couple of injuries away from being kicked out of the Paul Kent Club.

I assume maybe we begged and pleased as Hawkins has been out for a while and hasn't trained properly due to his injury.

Has something happened to him?? No, he's still the same softcock he has always been. This year he is being held accountable but....

And the NRL did us a favour? My theory is more likely

Matterson loves a sickie

He <understandably> puts fans offside - but if he's not a better player than a lot of our other forwards, I'll eat my hat.

I think - and I say this as his biggest fan - that he might need to seriously consider a medical retirement.

He's had a heap of issues since that piece of shit, Felicia, slammed his head on the ground.

How many did we miss?

 

[hineyrulz]

Looks like Ryles is clearing out the rest of BA’s softies.

 

[Eelementary]

I like this focus on youth - Kautoga is 22, and Samrani, Tuivati, and Smith are still pups.

It probably leads to some short-term pain, but if we can develop them right, we will reap the benefits down the line.

 

[Eelementary]

How many did we miss?

41, according to the NRL app.

I think some coaches are playing ball this year with their players.
