[Mr Invisible]

Team lists updated.... NSWRL team is going to be a real mess for a while I reckon.

 

[GUSLER]

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the slowest spine in NRL history!!!

 

[Dawain87]

Crighton vs Fusitua will be a good battle!!

 

[finchie]

[Howard Moon]

I am confident... but JMK and Montoya... ehh those two and Fualalo will want to show something in the first few rounds. Say what you want about Lichaa, but I think we can all agree that the guy can play 80... JMK is a wasted bench spot

 

[El Mag-Nick]

How can you drop a bloke with a goal kicking record of 94.7% ? It’s not like he was there only for his kicking either, one of our best last year. If we lose any games because of goal kicking while Martin is out of the side there will be serious questions to answer.

Holland is on a run of almost 20 straight or some shit.. not an issue

lol

 

[BELMORE]

Get rid of the sponsors in the team list please

 

[pisssst]

Montoya is useless

 

[jof]

Wow Martin not even on the extended bench, with Smith ahead of him.

Was hoping to see Meany at FB, as I think that's better long term and a bit negative from Pay. Why buy him if we are not willing to give him a go?

[Raysie]

No big surprises going off the talk here the last few weeks.

Still can't understand what's happened with Martin.

 

[c-b-b]

Don't get why a good combo of Holland and Smith were changed.

 

[El Mag-Nick]

Holland is on a run of almost 20 straight or some shit.. not an issue

Of which only 8 were last year and a fair chunk from memory were close to, if not, in front. I hope you are right and it isn’t an issue, but we must be the only club to drop a bloke kicking over 90% when we highlighted pre season we need to “learn to win close games”

 

[Spoonman84]

Montoya at centre is either going to be a masterstroke or a absolute disaster. I'm really worried about him defensively.

 

[Dingo]

Not sure breaking the Smith/Holland combo is a good idea.

Don't know what Pay sees in Montoya that will make him a good centre.
