[Mr Invisible]

TEAMS UPDATED FOR ROUND 7.

Renouf not named at all in NSW Cup, but on extended NSW Cup bench.

Toa Mata'afa not named at all, nor Jesse Martin.
John Olive hanging onto 19th man for grim death or facing relegation to Bundy Cup.

No idea why we have Ben Marschke on the bench. ANOTHER grade, ANOTHER wasted bench spot to a hooker.

(?) = All unlikely to play as played NRL tonight in Melbourne (vs Storm).

Patrick Herbert (80m) - Replaced Kata in NRL (late withdrawl family emergency).
Blake Ayshford (80m) - Replaced RTS in NRL (due to reshuffled backline with Hiku at fullback).
Hayze Perham (17m) - Came onto bench as Harris moved into halves.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Very strong side with lots of NRL experience... I reckon we'll get pumped again.

 

[Moedogg]

Blake Ashford is playing second row these days?

 

[Mr Invisible]

Blake Ashford is playing second row these days?

Has played there for quite a while now.

 

[Spoonman84]

Only change is Renouf (21) starting in place of Nelson who drops to the bench. The Warriors will have a stack of changes.

 

[Spoonman84]

Harper is marking up on Solomona Kata will be a big test.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Teams updated.

Harper vs Kata.... oooohh shit..

 

[Mr Invisible]

Thread here

 

[Mr Invisible]

So far:
1 Win (NRL)
1 Draw (Flegg)
2 Matches in play (HMatts Final, and NSW Cup).

....

Bad feeling that Kata will tear us apart today.. against Montoya.

Was out due to family emergency this week.

 

[Spoonman84]

Nu Brown doing himself no favours again

 

[Mr Invisible]

Nu Brown... slowly following in the footsteps of Lichaa.

So much ability, so much talent, yet just can't cut out the errors.

Wakeham looking lively already.

 

[Mr Invisible]

*sigh* poor call... Warriors dropped that cold.

I don’t understand why people keep wanking over Brown. He fucking sucks

 

[Mr Invisible]

hahahaha justice served... incorrect play the ball.

annnd a penalty to us finally.

I don’t understand why people keep wanking over Brown. He fucking sucks

Because the potential is there, but he's just so inconsistent.

 

[Mr Invisible]

Amazing.. Tualau and Ogden came to the club around the same time, and I always thought Tualau would be the better of the two.

Ogdens currently going ahead in strides, whilst Tualau is struggling with 30 minutes.

Loving To'omaga's hair today...

 

[Spoonman84]

Awesome finish from Katoa!!!

 

[Nexus]

Nice little pass from Harper there

 

[Mr Invisible]

Katoa .. absolute beast of a try... that was special!!

Harper nice leadup... but lovely work from Katoa.
