PRE-GAME Round 8 - Rabbitohs vs Broncos

[rnabokov]

I really can't see how on form, you can keep Mead out of this side. As I see it, it's either give Moga yet another chance to prove himself and cost the team possibly a game, or put Mead in and have proven speed, class and polish. If Kahu is out, then Moga gets a run.

After 7 rounds, Moga has shown me he contributes nothing of worth to this team unlike Mead. So the question about those 2 is what Bennett intends to do with Moga's development. Personally, I want Mead outside Roberts, and Kahu setting up Oates. With Boyd at the back, that backline has quality, real strike power.

Also, I'd rather Thaiday come off the bench, and hopefully, Milford and Kodi will run straight and hard at their line and pass to support runners. We used our back rowers so well in attack against the Roosters. Time for that again v Rabbits.

Unfortunate re TPG but gives him a chance to rest for a big second half old season, he's going to be immense. Arrow's turn to step up pre origin.

Like Sproj's line up but surely Pearson on the wing and Arrow over Fai. Glenn to have one last go starting now contract business is done otherwise agree might be time for a Qcup spell if we have the younger guys standing up. Blair to lock instead of Mcquire to share with arrow. Big Mc needs the Paul Gallen stop s****ing on our attack talk.

Arrow is injured

Tom will definitely be suspended but Sam may get off. Though last night on one of our kick offs Glenn tackled without using his arms and only his shoulder, don't know if they picked it up.

Do you have isolated footage of this? I'll send it to the MRC.

 

[Porthoz]

He is an outstanding defensive hooker and has occasional great moments of attack from dummy half but his game awareness is most usually awful and costs us terribly.

He doesn't utilize the forward pass like Friend, Farah, and Peats do.

Both of these are so true!

 

[Jason Simmons]

He doesn't utilize the forward pass like Friend, Farah, and Peats do.

Not as consistently but he throws his fair share...

Team sheet time.

1. Boyd
2. Mead
3. Roberts
4. Kahu
5. Oates
6. Milf
7. Nikorima
8. Ese'Ese
9. Macca
10. Blair
11. Thaiday
12. Gillett
13. McGuire

14. Sims
15. Funaki
16. Glenn
17. Arrow

You've got the funk man in. However Fai and Joe O are ahead of him in the pecking order I believe

 

[ZTop]

Arrow injured and Funaki is barely Q Cup standard.

Don't be rude about Funaki

 

[ZTop]

If Kahu, TPJ, Arrow, Opacic, Hunt and whoever else are all still injured, I'd go:

1. Boyd
2. Mead
3. Roberts
4. Oates
5. Allan (though Pearson is a more realistic chance)
6. Milford
7. KNik
8. Ese'ese
9. Macca
10. Blair
11. Su'a
12. Gillett
13. McGuire

14. Glenn (Purely because of all the injuries, he deserves to be dropped)
15. Sims
16. Fai
17. Thaiday

Shame Haas is too young.

Isaako was in the 21 last week

It would also be great to see our halves set up our back row in attack as they did against the Roosters: they ran a total of 340m then as opposed to half that against the Tits. That in itself says a lot when you look at how differently we performed in both games.

Gillett maybe a defensive weapon but he is also that in attack being sadly wasted, and the same applies to Thaiday (and Glenn) when they run at opposition halves. We need to give Reynolds and Walker a lot to think about defensively.

As far the Burgii go, Sam is facing two weeks while George wasn't charged.

Hopefully Sam is out, he's their only decent forward at the moment. The twins are costing Souths games so I'd rather they stay in the team.

For whatever reason it may be we do not utilize Gillett nowhere near his potential in attack.

George's discipline this year has been poor.

If Blair can get under his skin it will make life easier for us.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Is there footage of Georges effort? I was listening to Triple M on the way to Suncorp and they were saying it was close to a send-off.

Disregard, found it.

Another fine consistent effort from the MRC.

We seem to be getting a bit of an injury list. I still think we will beat souffs though.

Yep, ridiculous decision. Don't know how these clowns got their jobs.

Well, it wasn't a punch and it wasn't a slap... so, no charge sounds about right. :lostit:

 

[Kyall]

Looks like no Sammy burgess with a 2 match suspension.
