Rd 7 Vs Eel

[Philmus]

Would it be that bad if we had Burton in the centres? It worked for Penrith.

Having 3 halves on the field would be very handy.

2.5 halves

2.5 halves

actually, it’s more like 1.5 now i think about it

3. Burton
6. KO
7. Mystery experienced HB

well then it’s back to 2.5, i was including flange so he counted as 0 lol

 

[DogsOfWar1704]

yeah but as much as he’d walk over dunster, sivo walks over our other edge

Idk kiraz has been good defensively

 

[finchie]

If anything Skelton against Dunster will work better for us... The kid couldnt tackle anything of difficulty today and Skelton will ownnnn him.

Exactly
Really saw evidence of this in todays tigers eels game
That big kid winger junior tupou gave dunster a bath both he and kepoa

Maybe that might swap ciraldo’s decision
Skelton would own dunster in size and explosiveness

Yk what if KO comes in this year whether its soon or later and looks the goods Burton to centre with a top signing would be the best possible set up we could go for. Some will see it as a shot towards Burton but it may just be more beneficial, Burton and KO next year in a strong side may get us in the 8 and provide more attacking threat, its undeniable in the now at Burton whos 23 and 18 year old Burton wont effectively lead a team around and control games as a seasoned halfback with experience on there back and possesses those key assets. Burton at centre, with an expansive role to kick and roam at times. Arguably strong side IMO if were looking at top 4 and to be a threat, time will tell Gus has a lot of faith in KO if beyond this year we don't invest in a half.

How didn’t Sualii get thrown it at roosters? He’s 19 now and he played most of last season too when he was 18. He even debuted before he was 18 with the roosters (they got exemption from NRL to play him before he was 18). If that’s not throwing someone in I don’t know what is

he play most of last year in reserve grade. Learning to play against men.

 

[kmr07]

19 games of NRL last year and you say he played most of the year in reserve grade? Are we talking about the same player ?

 

[Mr Shhh]

The instance KO makes a mistake, the kennel will turn on him.

Never

 

[LordSidious66]

Never

Are you sure about that? I know this place all too well.

Why does Weidler always stand uncomfortably close to the person??

Why does Weidler always stand uncomfortably close to the person??

He likes an intimate setting..

 

[Bulldog1966]

CC has definitely improved some of our forwards Waddell for one and also has Preston humming along.
I reckon we will see the best Of TPJ under his tutelage too, if only he could instil some more grunt into Ray ...

 

[speedy2460]

CC needs to include Davey in place of Topine.

 

[KiwiDog7]

Looking forward to this weeks team list!

Expecting to see TPJ, Kikau and RFM named to give us some firepower

 

[CCC]

Maybe KO is playing - KR making a positional change this week?
