We can't make the finals - time to give young guys a run.

9. De Gois
10. Edwards
11. Mika
12. Taia

14. Taufua
15. Kaufusi (don't want him there but Fass/Tolar have had all year to do something and they haven't)
16. Tetavano
17. No idea - forward who is performing well in NSW cup/NYC

Any chance we'll see Simmo again by the way? If by any miracle we do, then he can come in and drop Mika back to the bench.

Can't see Rogers playing next week if him getting armchaired off the field is anything to go by

 

[aqua_duck]

in that case
6.Mullen
7.Roberts

I couldn't bare to see Watmough running at Dureau for 80 minutes

If Dureau plays I dont think I'll be able to watch the game........ I really dont.

I'd like to see Coops pair up with Uate again.

 

[Alex28]

So the white flag is up and waiving already?

Some of the people being named here can't prove themselves in NYC and Centurions, and we want to throw them up against a team like Manly?

Making a competitive team (and they have been competitive for the majority of the year) less competitive isn't going to help get people through the gates for the rest of the year. It is a whole lot more than blooding players - the difference between a profit and a loss depends on the performances on the field, and throwing young blokes out there who aren't ready isn't going to help that.

Is that aimed at my post sorry?

I think Coops and Uate were pretty good to see out there. I'd drop Sau in half a heart beat and put Coops in if I was coach.

 

[Alex28]

More aimed at those naming Dureau, Mata'utia and Roberts in their squads. Naiqama I can see merit in.

Even fewer people that go to the games now will pay to see young blokes being sent out as cannon fodder...

 

[Karmawave]

I can see them naming Dureau.

It's just incredibly sad that he'll likely be playing in Knights colours once again.

Sadder still that he wouldn't even be anywhere near the best halfback playing in the NSW Cup. :lol:

6. Mullen
7. Gidley

Anything else is just stupid.

Yep, this is the only way it can go...with Wes at fullback.

If Stone refuses to move Gids from fullback though, then I'd rather see Roberts get a run over Dureau (as much as I believe he's nowhere near ready).

 

[Holla if ya hear me]

Yer cant wheel out the same team again..Dont pick dureau ffs. Mata'utia and Roberts deserve a chance..why not?Season is one so why not blood a few
AS for the bums on seat s arguement..its been flawed since halfway thru the season as the figures show

 

[League_God]

great to see people putting mika in their starting side. i really really rate him. great hands, great defender. he is in my 17 for 2011
