GET PUMPED FEASTWOOD IN THE BACKROW AGAIN!!!

 

[Oatley Dog]

About what I expected. Just hope To'omaga comes in for Kasiano. Don't know enough about Saunders to hope he comes in for Eastwood.

 

[Spoonman84]

I was really hoping Renouf was going to get a run but I guess Fine got there on experience.

 

[Mitch Connor]

I was really hoping Renouf was going to get a run but I guess Fine got there on experience.

True he has about 5 NRL games to Rens 0 lol

 

[Spoonman84]

Our ruck defence is going to be in all sort of trouble if Kasiano and Tualua are on at the same time there's not lateral movement between those two.

 

[Oatley Dog]

I was really hoping Renouf was going to get a run but I guess Fine got there on experience.

He's only just come back from injury hasn't he? He went OK the few times I saw him last year although he is a bit on the small side. Hope he has beefed up a bit in the off season.

I know haha. It's the only reason I could think of Renouf has so much more potential then Fine.

 

[WestBeast]

Mariner injured or did he root the coaches daughter?

He's played a few games since he's been back. Off the top of my head Fine and Renouf are pretty much the same size I'm not sure of the exact kgs.

He was in moon boot at NSW Cup on Saturday I'm not sure how bad it is.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

I was expecting Martin to debut but whatever Des.

Snapped his Achilles
Captains run on Friday

 

[BMOC]

Most disappointing for me in the past few weeks from an attacking point of view has been B Morris. He only got picked for SOO because of his reputation and skill. I think he is a waste of talent on the wing. he has not been able to score since shifting back to wing or cause opponent defences any problems. Holland and Brenko are attacking better down that edge. So glad marcelo takes Bmoz's spot. I will bet you that marcelo will cause some magic in attack on that edge with J moz.

Am i the only one that has not noticed BMOZ at all. I know people say he is fragile at FB, but the guy is extinct on the wing. Why would you put someone on a wing, conserve his health when he only contributes 40pc. Put him back at FB (after origin), so he can achieve his full potential-even though there is a risk of injury.

Im pretty sure he was injured in ISP last weekend. Apparently he was in a moon boot.

Mbye hasn't been able to provide that side with quality ball, By the time he shifts it its too late. Its mostly licha's fault though shit delayed service by the time it gets to our halves our centers n wingers have no room to move.

The Cows did a number on our outside players with the up and in, but BMoz went OK last game. Sure he didn't make any big breaks but that was mainly because JMoz made a couple and his brother didn't see much clean ball. He'll go OK.

 

[B-Train]

Any other coach would have dropped Eastwood forever ago.

Instead our coach puts an unfit player who can't last twenty minutes in the middle anymore in an 80 minute role out wide.

I hope we lose every game the rest of the season so they can start thinking about firing Des once and for all.

I agree. As soon as garvey came on it changed. Its the slightest difference in movement, but he engaged the markers and made room for his backrower and centre outside him.

Cheers mate
