Is anyone due back from injury next week?

Kahu

 

[Kyall]

Kahu

Kahu may spend a bit of time in qcup to get his game time and experience up.

 

[Number6]

Agree love to see a towelling to sort out points differential which may be crucial come spring but last thing these guys need is overconfidence.

Let’s just beat a team we are favoured to and tidy up a numerous gaps and wrinkles that were masked by individual brilliance. Namely the middle defence gaps on subside, straighten the line, short kick clean ups and KNiks hole in the line. It’s the simple stuff and attention to detail that isnt sexy to do for young blokes (or even possible for Sims, Thaiday or Boyd at moment) and with injuries

When put 50 on a team I want it to be 50 nil and to play like a complete unit with structures and form that won’t disappear the following week when one of the game handful who seem to choose it is their week to carry the team (outside of TPJ and Lodge who just get their job done almost every time ) has an average week.

11 TPJ
12 Sua
13 Offa

14 Carrigan
15 Tagatese
16 Sims/Flegler/Mago
17 Opacic/Flegler/Mago

We are actually looking a bit thin for experienced bench options if Sims drops out. I'd rather not carry a back on the bench quite honestly, but its paid off so much for us this year i'm leaning towards it a little seeing as we are a bit think on the ground in the forwards, especially if TPJ or Sua go down. At least Opacic or Staggs can cover there.

[Dee]

I'm all for grinding away in games and staying in the fight, shows character and resolve but I'd love us to finally beat a team comprehensively, by 20+

Commentators on the QCUP saying that Wayne said he will give Murphy 2 more weeks to see how he goes before he cracks first grade, hope its true

 

[Alec]

How's he going today?

 

[Mitchell_Broncos]

How's he going today?

Played fairly good, Dargan had a good game. Lost though.

I think he should be on the bench this game - it’ll be good for experience against a slightly struggling side

Totally agree, swap him and niko around during the game, bleed him into the team

We are hardly in a position to be able to experiment with players. We need to keep winning and our losses against the titans and manly show we cant take any team lightly...

 

[Foordy]

Bit worried about Robert's. Walked, or should I say limped past me at the end of the game and looked really uncomfortable.

a nut shot will do that to any man

This is undoubtedly the best side we could field right now, but for whatever reason it still won't happen.

Dargan and Shibaski both scored I believe

 

[Morkel]

I know he is , but last night was the worst I had seen him pull up

120 kg work of JWH concentrated on the point of the knee, dropping on his testicles, might be playing a part.

Moose would be close... he'd be trying to push his origin claim as well

He's been back at training and going well apparently. But he is apparently another 2 weeks away.
