[Mr. Ditkovich]

I’d put Okunbor for Meaney, JMK to hooker, Ogden for Lichaa on the bench, and RFM for Smith.

Also Wakeham for Cogger. Would like to see how Wakeham goes with Foran or Lewis.

 

[LordSidious66]

Would drop Elliot and Meaney and maybe Fulalo/Tolman for Ogden.

 

[Spoonman84]

Surely Pay has learnt from last time when Meaney came up against Tupou!

Our forwards need as much help as they can get and need Okunbor's meters.

 

[Typical dog]

Welcome back Lewis. Now play the Roosters. Haha. I'm a bit worried for Meaney and what this wing experiment could do with his confidence. While he is getting valuable game time, is it really that valuable playing out of position and getting dominated??

We also need a big boppa to start at lock. Our starting packs size is a joke. If Smith didn't work out then I can't see why Pay puts in a similar player like Elliot. If you're going to change a team then change it! Don't swap around like for like.....

No ones coming in from the extended bench, they’ve all been named in cc #payout

 

[bradyk]

My changes
-Meaney +Okunbor
-Cogger +Foran
-Fualalo +Ogden (Ogden starting, Napa bench)

If Lichaa isn't being resigned, then -Lichaa +RFM (CHN 50 minutes, RFM 30 minutes)

 

[Freakzilla]

Lol at Wakeham being dropped.

 

[AlzzBulldog]

Where’s all the pay lovers to explain these wonderful team selections haha get fucked
#payout

 

[Spoonman84]

Lewis hasn't been named and they play Saturday. Just because they are named in CC doesn't mean they won't pull out and play NRL.

[AlzzBulldog]

Lewis hasn't been named and they play Saturday. Just because they are named in CC doesn't mean they won't pull out and play NRL.

With pay no chance, maybe Foran if he’s fit but that’s it

 

[JackDog]

Meaney and Holland defending together...one Manu/Hall tryfest coming up!

 

[Raysie]

Time to work my magic on this fucked up line-up:

1. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak
21. Jayden Okunbor (LW)
3. Kerrod Holland (RC)
4. Will Hopoate (LC)
5. Reimis Smith (RW)
7. Lachlan Lewis
20. Kieran Foran
8. Aiden Tolman
14. Jeremy Marshall-King
10. Dylan Napa
19. Raymond Faitala-Mariner (Left)
12. Corey Harawira-Naera (Right)
11. Josh Jackson

6. Jack Cogger
13. Adam Elliott
22. Ofahiki Ogden
15. Renouf To'omaga

 

[Scoooby]

This round doesn’t really matter, its null an void .. we are playing the roosters , it’s a lose lose this time!! No other way to see or put it..!!

 

[Big M]

Scream,swear, jump up and down,protest to an Almighty, there is no way Meaney will be dropped.He is Pays pin up boy. If he manages to actually score a try then he will probably get player of the year lol...

 

[The DoggFather]

Cogger keeps Wakeham and Foran out?

I thought Foz is fully recovered?

 

[Spoonman84]

Cogger keeps Wakeham and Foran out?

I thought Foz is fully recovered?

I'm pretty sure Foran will play and Lewis will drop out.

 

[The DoggFather]

Ogden dropped too?

This pay **** is on crack.

He knows he is gone next season and just sabotaging us, might not be true but FMD it looks like it.
