I can't believe what I'm seeing, death by a thousand cuts.

 

[The Wheel]

Surely Hodges will get a run

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I can't believe what I'm seeing, death by a thousand cuts.

2V isn't doing his future any good is he, nothing adventurous , nothing different , just the same team that doesn't give a **** week in week out.

I can't wait for the Bye, at least that's 2 points .

 

[stoodamire]

That's a scintillating backline Toovey has named

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Surely Hodges will get a run

He was one of the few bright spots on Friday night , and is now named as 18th man.

Don't know about you Wheelie but I think 2V is a bit like the players at present, lost all interest.

 

[HappilyManly]

It would be better to forfeit - at least we would not get anymore injuries.

Totally surprised about Hodges being dropped

 

[Loobs]

**** me that is the ****test 17 yet.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Toovs quote "players on notice" apparently Williame didn't get his notice , he must sit up the back at team meetings keeping out of sight and mind

 

[stoodamire]

Any injury updates on the following?

1) Snake
2) Taufua
3) Lyon
8) Starling
13) Mateo

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Not a hell of a lot that Tooves can do tbh. Injuries are forcing us to play a lot of guys who are raw and will suck eggs to begin with.

Jayden wasn't even listed initially in last week's team. Not even as 18th man, yet he got the nod over Hasson on game day. This time he is listed in the team. I think he will play.

Blair fed their notices to the Goat

Chambers and Korobiti will think their Christmasses have come at once

 

[Mavin]

Didn't Tooves put everyone on notice 2 weeks a go? Tooves seems 2 have given up (yes we have injuries) but surely we have someone worth a run instead of williame?

Hasson is always Tooveys fall back position I'm not in love with Vave but if you buy him you should give him a run.

 

[Loobs]

Maybe punishment actually IS playing. God knows it wouldn't be any fun playing in that squad right now.

Yes at least Vave might give us some go forward... Why buy him?

 

[ssteacup]

Hodges was the only bright spark last week FFS.

 

[Andrew..]

Hodges was the only bright spark last week FFS.

That's why he's not playing this week...they don't want us getting our hopes up.

 

[Mavin]

Yes at least Vave might give us some go forward... Why buy him?

That's the point I'm not a big wrap on him but someone must be 2 buy him.

But no let's trot out the same names

 

[Loobs]

Interesting that Chee Kam was named in the centres in NSW Cup. Satini is back too and he's an international (lol) so Williame's days should be numbered*

* which means Tooves will give him another 7 weeks to find some form

 

[Mavin]

Toovey said last week it depends on the opposition and the structure they want to use if they have hodges on the bench.

I was stunned by that statement as he adds spark and creativity at the back of the ruck.
