Read this on the telegraph this morning thought I'd share, here is the team that will be listed this afternoon.

1. Nick Meaney
2. Jayden Okunbor
3. Kerrod Holland
4. Will Hopoate
5. Reimis Smith
6. Kieran Foran
7. Lachlan Lewis
8. Aiden Tolman
9. Jeremy Marshall-King
10. Dylan Napa
11. Josh Jackson
12. Rhyse Martin
13. Adam Elliott

14. Michael Lichaa
15. Ofahiki Ogden
16. Corey Harawira-Naera
17. Jesse Sue
I dont see this as an improvement. Having Hopoate and Holland in the centres is suicidal. Neither can tackle or run the ball.
Okunbor has a big body but offers little else. Ogden should be in the run on side and not Martin.
CHN can slot into centre. At least he tackles and can run the ball.

1. Hoppa
2. Meaney (R)
3. Smith (R)
4. Okunbur (L)
5. Chricton (L)
6. Foran
7. Lewis
8. Napa
9. JMK
10. Tolman
11. CHN (R)
12. Martin (L)
13. Jackson

14. Ogden
15. RFM (front row rotation)
16. C Smith
17. Holland

Desperately need another big front rower.

Sue is undersized, has lazy efforts and misreads the defence aswell as an error or two. Poor signing. Who would have know signing fringe players from struggling clubs would turn out to be flops. Ditto Cogger and Meaney.

FuaLOLa has the potential but has much the same efforts as Sue.

In the meantime RFM should be trialled at front row. He is big enough and ugly enough just needs to get his mongrel back.

Smith and Okunbur are big bodies and aggressive defenders. Sick of getting trampled out wide ffs.

Even if these two are as hopeless at reading the defence as Montoya and Holland atleast they will put their bodies on the line and won't be intimidated and also provide a bit of spark in attack.

Ffs get it done Deano

Montoya went missing and his saving grace wouldve been that try he botched.
Crighton once given the ball decides to step back in when he should really back himself and pin his ears back.
Fualalo for a player that has been with us a longtime keeps coming up with these schoolboy errors.
RFM doesnt look like he was training when he was injured and his match fitness is questionable.

Bring on the changes!

How has Sue survived the cut? He was embarrassing on Sunday. I wasn't convinced when we bought him and he is a stand out plodder.
Pay made him part of the leadership group without playing a game for us yet drops martin fmd

So Chris Smith promoted to bench for Sue?
Not 100% sure but that's confirmed as all named as starting in NSW Cup.

Hopefully that means CHN to centres, Hoppa still at fullback, and Smith, Martin and Ogden in. But that leaves a winger.

Doubt it. Hoppa to centres for Meaney and Okunbor.

WHO leaked the info to the Telegraph??? They either have a crystal ball or someone has let it slip.

Too co- incidental that they have gotten it exactly right...........AND the Canterbury Cup team was posted on the NSWRL website before the first grade one today.

The person that should get axed is pay himself after hearing what he got the players to do in the captains run no wonder the players are getting smashed at the end of first half and also second half.

He got then playing for 1 hour and 40 minutes physical contact with Jersey flegg side on Saturday a day before the game.

The storms do theirs no longer than 18 minutes. That's why the boys are stuffed. There's a lot of question marks with pay and don't be surprised if he's gone by mid season.
Funny though how it did not affect the Jersey Flegg side who had a good win ......but yes that is a really horrendous thing to do the day before the big game.

There has been a snitch at the dogs for years leaking to the telecrap. Suprised they havent baited it and caught it. It was worse when dib was there.
