I don’t mind Darcy being released, even with the injuries to Siro and Tanginoa. I couldn’t understand people saying we were light on in the forwards before the season kicked off. Have a look at what Toovey was working with in 2015... now that’s a squad lacking forward grunt. One thing Bozo has made sure of is loading ya up with big, powerful forwards. Bozo always went for grunt in all his sides, it’s no coincidence that Barrett has adopted a play through them dynamic in his coaching.

 

[Kevinward777]

Manly must avoid kicking to Sami. He won that game against the Broncs on his own .

Run at LG Kapow/AFB

Whoever said footy was a mans game? How times have changed.

 

[The Who]

Where is Moses? Wasn't be supposed to have his first run with the Workers this weekend?

 

[Fluffy]

Must be confident with Dylan as there is no back up bar injured TT in the 21, strange given Wright was named last week in the 21.

Either Turbo comes in as a late replacement and his injury isn’t as bad as reported, or Walks is playing.

Why not have both?

Both Turbo and Walker could be playing and Parker is out ...

I'm not liking the squad announced for this one.

More than fair chance it's going to be mighty wet one, and on a country paddock. Its just Not the game you want to bring Walker back in.........

And Frankinstein starting? Please the bloke just dosent have the work rate.

If walkers been named , he's fit.

 

[HappilyManly]

I don't mind Frankie. 🙂

We haven't seen him this year so the full off season may have him keen and mean

 

[Bearfax]

I don't know if this is the right opportunity but agree on Anderson ahead of T Wright for a FG debut. But where do you play him? Dump Parker or Uate?

Anderson could play full back. He has played in the position a number of times and has been a danger to the opposition. Of course that's junior grade but he's good under the high ball, fast, tough, a good defender and involves himself. I'd risk him. Tom Wright could do the same. Is more creative, fast and has a good kicking game. Less aggressive than Anderson, but both are tough players.

 

[Kevinward777]

Why not have both?

Well... that would be awesome.

Wish the club would give us an update on Lussick. Not named in firsts or seconds and not injured. Club stated yesterday that they would not release him.

 

[Kevinward777]

Nothing wrong with Frankie.

 

[Bearfax]

Look its pretty obvious what the back line is going to look like

M. Wright
Parker
Kelly
Walker
Uate
Croker
DCE

Not my choice but thankfully I'm not a coach.

 

[HappilyManly]

Nothing wrong with Frankie.

This is a good game for he and Jetski to start in, as the Titans' forwards aren't that big or coherent in defence

Gladstone will be Eagle Rocking on Sunday

 

[Eagles2nv]

Team looks good despite the injuries JetSki gets a go which is a good move rotate with Winterstein
Darcy might have to earn his spot back see how committed he is in Reggie’s just in case he has spat the dummy that his release didn’t go through

Yeah seems Baz might trial both Frank and Jetski on that right side to see who is the best option.

Not sure there is room for Frank if Jetski is the better option to replace Siro. Would prefer Sipley or Paseka as prop rotation.

This said, if its going to bucket due to that cyclone, having second rowers on the bench is always handy as rain kills the big forwards.

Hold that betting slip Bear .... it may well be ... Turbo, Parker, Kelly, Walker and Uate.
