What's the go with Perham? What was the point of signing a specialist fullback as back-up if we don't think he's good enough to be a back-up fullback?

I think Jesse went well when Walsh got hurt so they stuck with him.
 
Is Luai a chance of coming back next week? That could be a positive for us because their side at the moment is humming.
Unfortunately I see no way we win next week. We are just too depleted, tigers are flying. It’ll be a full house, we won’t get a call all night and every second set will be a set restart, for Tigers of cause.
 
Not sure if it's been mentioned but Madge said Paix will be fine for this week.

Also looking likely that Reyno will play. I know Duffy had a good game, but Reyno's experience was missed.

He is.

He asked to play against Knights but Benji said no. He will play against us, though.

Great! That's a huge win for us.

On Gibs, I wonder whether Maguire might give him a rocket and give him one last chance to redeem himself given all the outs.
 
So let's say worst case scenario that all the confirmed and probable outs are out, I guess we're running with:

1. Arthars
2. Karapani
3. Staggs
4. Shibasaki (sigh)
5. Mariner
6. Mam
7. Duffy
8. Jensen
9. Bukowski
10. Willison
11. Piakura
12. Gosiewski
13. Talty

14. Rogers
15. Semu
16. Piki?
17. Junt
18. Perham
19. Verhoeven
 
Will need an absolutely monster performance from Haas, Jensen & Willison (and our wingers on returns)

Could be the move to bring Shibasaki to the bench.

Doesn't really deserve to be in the side with his defensive issues. Mam is just as poor but we dont have the luxury of dropping him to Cup for a few weeks to work on it.

If we look to get a exemption for train and trail players Teague and Luke Gale (might be Injured) could be options.

We beat a 2nd place Bulldogs in round 18 last year with a middle of X, Smoothy and Kobe. No Walsh, Haas, Carrigan, Jensen and the good Shibasaki.

Definitely doable with what we got available but If headgear Riki, Paix and even 40 mins of Haas play it makes a big difference

Still have to get the NRL to downgrade Paix HIA from a Cat 1
 
Reading this forum, man..

Some of you lot must live life waiting to be struck by lightning.

The world isn't out to get you, the NRL isn't out to get us as a footy team. We got some bad calls, so what, other teams did too. We got some injuries, so what, other teams do too.

Am I right in saying Chester stayed on the field after Patty smashed him?!

So wait…. It’s was CLEARLY foul play according to the refs.
Direct and “forceful” contact to the head.
Yet the “victim” of such horrible foul play, remains on the field.
GOT IT, makes perfect SENSE.
Oh and Murray gets head binned for jumping up for a ball.
Excellent.
