Todd Payten Injured at training

[Das Hassler]

This is nothing short of a disaster by the way.

He is the glue that holds us together.

He does a lot of the dirty work around the ruck.

And it was just a few months ago there were calls here that he should be among the first to be let go...makes you wonder what some people are looking at when they watch a game

 

[andrew9148]

Its terrible but the boys can do it without him. Thought they would have gone with Skando as a replacement.

 

[Bricey]

massive loss, no doubt about it

but dont people think for one minute that the likes of C.W, rednut, Ellis and the carlton player will not lift.... cause we all know they will

bring fafita into start. Then give the boys structure in defence and licence in attack

Play the game we have been playing that got us here. The total of the sum outweighs the value of the individual

 

[dubopov]

i thought sheens was a quality bullsh*t artist .. why doesn't he pretend farah is injured ? after all, last week boonji was almost dead but recovered ..

 

[madunit]

Well it has been revealed by Payten that he thinks he stepped on a tennis ball while doing training runs yesterday.

Apparently John Skandalis has been rushed into the squad.

Fifita starting is an exciting proposition. Get him in the game early and see how he goes. Payten is a massive loss. Expecting Gibbs to play close to 80 minutes. We'll still get em on Saturday. Go Tigers.

 

[dreaming 09]

Phase 1 exagerate injuries
Phase 2 milk penalties
Phase 3 sledge, when we lack faith in our own team to go on with the job.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Phase 4 Trolls come in and whinge and moan

Perfect, keep it coming.

A couple of things.. The 6 and zero may not indicate much, i cant remember the games he was out but there may have been other contributing factors at play like having no halfback and most proberly we were without Galloway during the period he was out. The pack are playing their best football of the year right now and will cover for his loss im sure. Also what are the stats with Scando playing this year? I wouldnt have an issue with him out there to be honest.
Fifita altho has done some great things but he has to lift his game a lot i think,lately he seems to virtualy walk to the line and start palming and trying to push of ppl, he has to stop f**king around and hit the line with some speed to be any chance of breaking it. He is there for impact and not a there as a defensive workhorse, so he needs to step up and show that impact he is capable of.

 

[grandorient]

Sounds like the story is correct.

Hard luck guys, I hope he plays, but doesn't look like it.

Important that both teams are fielding a full complement, or at least as full a complement as possible. If the Dragons don't make it this year, and I hasten to add, I think they will, but if they don't, I hope it's you guys or the Titans to take out the big one.

Your team and indeed your fans, from my experience, including these forums, are a pretty good mob in general and you certainly play an unpredictable style of football.

Won't wish you good luck, but certainly best wishes.

GO

Thanks ori.

 

[Perth Tiger]

SHocking luck for Payto

I like the prospect of Fifita starting though. Tell him to target Weyman in the first 15 and hopefully he can get us on the front foot

 

[grandorient]

Weyman out, to be replaced by Horio Nagasaki, world champion sumo wrestler.

Get them up ya. :lol::lol::lol:

GO

 

[Marshall_magic]

So what's our pack looking like

Galloway
Farah
Fifita
Gibbs
Ellis
Heighington

MM
Fulton
Dwyer
Fitzf**kwit?

That is what I would go with despite what the papers are currently saying that Skando is in line for the starting position.

We are paying the price now for not using Al Shirnack (sp) or David Gower for a few games earlier in the season. But in saying that I still think the pack listed can do the job for us

 

[madunit]

Wish Moors was playing

 

[Torro]

I have a feeling Skando will be rushed to play. Then Fitzy will get a flick back to delegation.
Seriosuly we don't need an outside back on the bloody bench. . Fulton can cover this well so no point Sheens.

 

[Reek_Havoc]

Advantage St George..

Huge f**king loss.

It's gonna be even harder for the Tigz now to repeat 05...

As Tim and Neil Finn say......"Hist-o-ry never repeats"

 

[to_ddeath]

From our forum, Saffy ruled out also......kinda evens it up slightly...
