we'll see, we dont play until next Sunday so there's time for ponga to recover.Obrien was saying he was in massive pain and not in a good way

I doubt he’ll play hip pointer is excruciating pain for at least two weeks but will be happy if he does because he will be a massive liability.we'll see, we dont play until next Sunday so there's time for ponga to recover.
Fuck ponga! Let him play, everyone here was worried about paps scoring 3 or more and only got 1I reckon we can beat them just need to shut down ponga.
BS. Just play Taffe at 7.What if his money could provide us with decent 7 though. That's the argument most had.
Tracey doesn't make the errors that Taafe does.Taaffe is still our best Fb. But in saying that the can lead a team a lead us around the park. So I’m a little torn. Either Taaffe is the goods.
Can't wait to see our pack at full strength and see how Curran and Mann rotate playing lock. I reckon Curran eventually starts at 13 and then Mann comes on once the game opens up a bit.Tracey doesn't make the errors that Taafe does.
Despite not having a pre season Tracey already looks up to speed in the position. If he can add some support play to his game he'll take us to another level.
With Mann able to play first receiver Tracey shouldn't need to ball play too much other than catch and pass
That cannot be understated, we are small up front so we either need that momentum to start us off, or go with the quick shift to the edges where xerri / critta / kikz can just dominateTracey needs a fair run at fullback, interchanging him with Critta in attack was idiotic from Ciraldo and I hope we don't see it again. Tracey's kick defusal and kick returns were massive and almost always out us on the front foot.
Loved seeing the Burto Foxxy combo back in action tonight. Reminds me of the old Shifty Hazem days.true but Wilson or any of our other wingers wouldn't of scored those 3 tries like fox did tonight.
Taaffe has played 7 before. He looks the goods, and may offer more. The guy is coming along at 1 but I just don’t feel safe with him there at the back. His bomb defusal is bad, and he looks scared. Tracey is fearless and just gets us started with great returnsFeel sorry for Taaffe as he has obviously worked hard to get to first grade FB standard.
But Tracey does seem to offer a little bit more from the back.
I'm not buying into the Taaffe at 7 debate - still getting over Barrett's Averillo experiment.
Xerri shouldn't look back from here.
Because Xerri hasn’t played FG in 3 years and needed to get reps in reserves and improve some defensive aspects of his game ….gets called up week 5 and hits the ground running so kudos to him for doing the workAny idea why our supercoach put Xerri in reserve grade for the first few weeks when it was clear that he was the fastest centre in the club?
Geez going by your logic you’d select Brett Howland to play for AustraliaAny idea why our supercoach put Xerri in reserve grade for the first few weeks when it was clear that he was the fastest centre in the club?
I'd rather Kurt Mann just play 7 tbh and run Curran at lockWe don't need a decent 7, we have all the best 7's coming through our juniors. Why splash out way too much money when we have O'Neil and Woods coming through????!!!
a big difference is Xerri is as quick as Howland but much biggerGeez going by your logic you’d select Brett Howland to play for Australia
Id like to see it, can't see Ciro doing it though. Be interesting doing it against knights with big gangly KPP running lines at Taffee, would be a good testBS. Just play Taffe at 7.
Those were some of the best catches I have seen by any FB in a long time....He was outstanding Tonight, Turned defence into attack and was fearless under the highball
