Does this guy follow a correct diet? He's always injured.

Nope he only eats Kebabs from the Gold Coast [icon_wink

As much as it pains me to say, pretty sure Andrew Ryan has it all over Tunza :(

Really? Why? Ryan is a good defender and a good hole runner....but he does NOT intimidate with his defence, which is TC's best attribute IMO.

TC in his prime.. yes.

TC now.... he is good for about 30 minutes. I have pretty big wraps on Ryan, he might not have the impact that Tunza can but i think he is about the complete club player. Great work rate, leader, durable, good ball skills, defense.. great line running.

How is he to blame when the coach takes him off?

I think come the 31st minute TC would be subbing himself off anyway, fact is - the guy can't play the minutes he used to.

 

[Nashy]

Based on what? All we've seen this year is a team that really needs him, but can't really fit him in, so the coach only plays him for 30 minutes.

 

[Coxy]

And with plenty of bench support in the back row, why play a bloke until he's just about out on his feet? Replace him while he still has energy so then he can have another crack later.

I doubt Sims and Setu play more than 30 minutes in a stint either.

Foxsports were saying its a calf injury, but couriermail has hamstring injury.. does anybody know wtf is going on?

 

[Jazza]

I heard hamstring. Hopefully he'll be okay, I can remember an origin a few years back when he was in extreme doubt with a hamstring injury and ended up playing. He took an intercept and ran it 90m for a try.

Otherwise maybe we can look at it as a blessing in disguise. Glenn is very sound defensively and we'll get an extra big man for our forward rotation. We'll sure miss those dummy half runs though...

 

[Charmamba]

and we will miss the Obvious influence he has on Yow Yeh.

 

[Alec]

If he doesn't play then I guess Folau moves on the right and Glenn plays left centre. At least it would probably tighten up our left side defence I guess.

The bloke didn't train for over half a year and he's playing a totally different role to the one he used to as well, defending in a lot tighter which would consume a lot more of his energy.

I'm not bagging him by any means, he definitely has to be in our top 17.

Geeze i hope Hodges play, i don't think we can win without him. Him and DT are our X factors. As someone mentioned earlier it's been fantastic to watch combination and rapport between him and Yow Yeh grow over the last month or so. How good has their kick/chase been?

I know you're not bagging him, but we simply haven't seen him play an extended period to show just how fit, or un-fit he is.

The guy that sits next to me is a Dragons fan. Anyway, I'm using two PCs today and I didn't even realise that he changed the desktop background to a Dragons logo and a pic of Bennett...

We better freaking win.

 

[andirect]

if hodges plays, it'll be a risk in such a big game. however, we've seen ivan only use 15 in the previous dragons match so if he goes off during the game, glenn can slot in without affecting the rotation hugely. we know mccollough can play 80 so there won't be a great need to give him a rest like the last couple games.

 

[subsbligh]

Back to the real issue - Hodges out is worrying. Even if they do play him, do we risk him injured for the coming weeks?

Even if Hodges does play you'd have to think he won't go the full 80, and Glenn will sub into the centres at some stage. McCullough will, with or without Hodgo playing, it seems, go the full 80.

 

[Nashy]

It's not going to matter. By the half-time break, we'll be up by 30, and he can have a rest.

Take a print screen off his desktop and set it as his background. Then, move all his desktop icons into a folder and hide it away somewhere and get rid of the taskbar. He might just be stupid enough to fall for it.

 

[Fozz]

We beat them without Izzy, we can beat them without hodges.

 

[elie_m]

all minds games people.. hodges will play
