[Resurrected] Lachlan Croker

[Budgie]

There goes our defence!

Better hang on to the ball then and NEVER GIVE IT BACK!!!!

Croker is going so well that Fainu hasn't even crossed my mind in a while. Fainu is a freak but given he hasn't played in nearly 3 years, if he manages to get off I'd have him playing out the year for Blacktown (if his shoulder is ready to go) and then taking Walker's number 14 jersey next year, playing a similar role to when we had him and Api.

hmmm, going to gaol, or going to Blacktown…..tough choice.

Weekes to debut at Hooker

Weekes to debut at Hooker

Weekes is a gun. Can’t wait to see him in the top grade tomorrow. Major test for him defending in the middle but he is big enough to hold his own.
He might provide some spark out of hooker as well

Is Seggy definately out injured?

 

[Ron E. Gibbs]

It's testament to how far Croker has come that we'll miss him so much. I hadn't spent much time worrying about who his backup might be, but I guess the plan was for Segeyaro to slot in when we faced a situation like this. Otherwise, our backup at hooker is very, very thin. I think we can split the dummy half role in attack between a few players - Foz, Cherry, Walker and possibly even Weekes. But plugging up the middle in defence will be a much harder task.

Yeah, hes not playing for Blacktown. Poor bastard. He’s been waiting for this opportunity all season.

Huge call imo. 182cm/90kg. Predominately a full back. Going with Dessie knows best on this one.

It is a bit of an unusual selection but Weekes is very versatile. I see a bit of Nicho Hynes about him. Will be watching with interest.

 

[Maxim]

I'd expect we won't know who will truly be at hooker until the boys are on the field with the way Des operates...

 

[Ryan]

I just hope we don't judge Weekes ability on this one game playing completely out of position. Talk about throwing him to the wolves

 

[Stewbojevic]

No chance Weekes runs out at hooker… he’ll play 6 or bench.

agreed he won’t be the reason solely if we get beat tomorrow night.

just great to see him play his 1st game in first grade for us

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

Walker surely will play the number 9. Least disruptions. Weekes to play Walker's super sub role

 

[Heckenberg]

Walker surely will play the number 9. Least disruptions. Weekes to play Walker's super sub role

I think this will be the case. He could be pretty damaging there scooting out round the ruck

 

[BOZO]

No Jake
No Davey
No Froggy

No problems. We can still win this.

Now that is the winning attitude

It is all about belief , commitment and true Grit

The best wins are won on character

No doubt since the lawman went down someone wpuld have been training more at dummy half. You would have to think walker was the man.

Being realistic, who debuts at 9 for 80 mins or even starts in the run on side at 9 first minutes in the NRL (especially when there not a regular 9). As mentioned above, makes sense that Walks starts at 9 and K plays 14, they can interchange or share the role, how we use our bench will be crucial.

Des is a good coach and all good coaches have a plan B
