PRE-GAME Round 14 - Eels vs Broncos

[McHunt]

Nor can you read the very next sentence in the same post it seems.

Posting a screenshot of a wikipedia page saying fullback in position doesn't mean he has the tools to be a fullback.

And quite frankly, I don't think he is a fullback. He's just another Josh Hoffman.

Guys, Wikipedia says he's a fullback. It's official.

with the injuries we have ATM. i would go with this against the Eels:

1. Isaako - Only out of necessity, Darbs is past it as an FB and we have no one else.
2. Oates
3. Staggs
4. Boyd - past it as an FB, but can still offer us something at center
5. Kennar
6. Milford
7. O'Sullivan
8. Lodge
9. Turpin
10. Haas
11. Fifita
12. Gillett
13. Carrigan

14. Segeyaro
15. Flegler
16. TPJ.
17. Su'a

Basically. Real shame we have no other fullback options, A healthy Bird would bring so much to a spine with Turpin at hooker.

Damn you Wayne Bennett. You win again.

Got a feeling McC at 7...

If he is, we may as well forfeit. At least that way we would save our for and against.

True but they’re not going to drop him and they need to find a way to have Turps and Seggy there too. So, why not put senior player McC at 7 so the other positions can thrive.

Dunno, that’s the only path I see to fit them given McC isn’t going anywhere for a while

 

[Wolfie]

Glenn and Joffa out against the Eels. Time for Sua to stand up and show us what he has.

 

[McHunt]

And this is why you’re widely considered a troll. Boring tbh.

HTH

 

[Wolfie]

Of course, RTS to the wing then.

No one could have predicted Isaako’s form falling off the edge of the planet

I had previously thought macca was important for leadership in the team, but during our time without him we beat competition heavy weights, a team we were expected to be beat (which we often lose) and a grinding win against the warriors. It made me question the effectiveness of his leadership.

In saying that, i entirely expect him to be in the 17 next week at the expense of seggy.

 

[Scorchie]

The sight of him in the coaches box and how quickly they returned him shows his status in the club so reality is he’s a mainstay for the season.

This and Darius is Seib's greatest test imo. Wouldn't care if we came dead last this year as long as those 2 get moved on. If he does that I'll be his biggest fangirl.

1. Get someone, anyone into the side ASAP
2. Oates
3. Staggs
4. Shibasaki
5. Kennar
6. Milf
7. SoS
8. Lodge
9. Turpin
10. Haas
11. Glenn
12. Gillo?? (Is he right to go?)
13. TPJ I guess, one last chance
14. Segeyaro
15. Flegler
16. Carrigan
17. Sua

No TPJ.
Surely he’s on he way through Wynnum to Souths or somewhere else.
Going through the motions.....not mulch else on Sunday arvo. He can get fucked.

Bird started his rehab this week, polar opposite to 12 months ago he is studying and positive and happy around the place.

Fucking beaudy. I want that lad to stay. I can handle a few missed tackles as a trade off for ferocity and win win attitude.

 

[Dazza 92]

hey...Sam Walker...yeh I hear you're perhaps thinking of going down south for games..??...can you come into the coaches office for a few minutes...?

 

[_wwong]

Pencil us in for another upset loss to the eels. They get us at the worst time every year

I think we give isaako a shot at fullback this year. His performances last year warrant a chance, he also did OK in his games at fullback from memory (2 games there?). If he doesn't take his chance then seibold will need to decide if niu or Walsh are our future and bloods them early or he goes to the market. Another option that I am surprised isn't getting mentioned is gebbie from wynumm-manly. He seems to be blitzing them in QLD cup and is a bit more mature. I know he isn't signed to us but he is playing for our affiliate qld cup side and we have spots in our roster

Those days are done, they got rid of the second tier cap giving call ups to guys like that won't happen anymore.

It's June 10 so in 20 days you'd have to sign him, no training, never been full time, never train at Brisbane, give him 100k and then hope he can play NRL.

Extra layer of risk he is injured and didn't even play on Saturday.

The second cap would allow you to register the Edene of the world, and then pay them $500 a win but teams aren't going to risk 100k and a top 30 spot.

Train and trials are it for those guys now, and get a deal on the back of a pre-season in November.

I think he's been great this year but I don't think anyone is bold enough to do it in June.

Walsh is playing for Keebra Park on Wednesday v Marsden so big jump to NRL. Nui isn't old enough until August.
