[Mr Invisible]

No screwing around with team lineups for once.

Both coaches have locked 1-17 straight in for their sides.

Not convinced in our backline, or Katoa being benched.

Should have Katoa and Mata'afa swap. Or Leumelu at fullback, Mata'afa benched, Olive in centres with Katoa outside him.

That’s a weak lineup from what we’ve seen on the past. This will be a tough game for them

 

[GDR]

Toomaga playing lock .. me like .. hopefully this will eventually lead him to first grade..

 

[Mr Invisible]

Are Katoa and Roumanos injured? Both dropped from extended lineup, and not named in any grade.

Changes to this side, and not for the better either. UPDATED NOW.

Brown, Katoa, Roumanos all missing.

 

[Spoonman84]

Big game for Wakeham today if our pack (as expected) dominates.

Roumanos might be a chance of playing Flegg if he’s not injured.

 

[flamebouyant]

Cant believe Ogden is starting. FMD

 

[CrittaMagic69]

This dude just threw himself on the ground and got a penalty

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Harper having a mare

 

[Mr Invisible]

Anyone suggesting Harper gets a call up to NRL deserves a ban... bloke is hopeless. Can't defend and just gives away a lovely try assist to Bears.

He's making John Olive look like Josh Addo-Car.

Where the fuck is Katoa!!! They should be playing him at fullback.

 

[BELMORE]

I’ve just tuned in how have we been the first 20?? Wooo Renouf is In

 

[Spoonman84]

No fucks given by Renouf haha.

 

[Mr Invisible]

RENOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!

LOL commentator "every time I see this guy (Harper) play I wonder how far away he is from an NRL debut". Clearly he's not watching the game today.

 

[Spoonman84]

Bullying reserve graders is doing nothing for Renouf he needs to be in NRL to go to the next level.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

We've had no ball and let them score through dumb errors.

 

[BELMORE]

Toomaga playing lock .. me like .. hopefully this will eventually lead him to first grade..

He’s got decent footwork and pace, he could definitely play lock

 

[GDR]

He’s got decent footwork and pace, he could definitely play lock

yep just seen the proof... also Spud Carrol flogging dean pay for not playing toomaga in first grade.. basically saying he doesn't understand why hes not playing firsts..
