[double hoops]

Froggy he is our man.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Hoping Tent is back for this one, need him in the middle yo bend the line..

Lawton and maybe Waddell on the edges..

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Fascinating team list Tuesday coming up... Tyler Bunting is halfback today for Blacktown, with Jamie at 5/8.

 

[Disco]

The dream scenario is Paseka and Croker back with Croker to cover halves.

Turbo not picked for Origin and available.

Ponga, Best and Gagai picked for Origin.

 

[Disco]

Fascinating team list Tuesday coming up... Tyler Bunting is halfback today for Blacktown, with Jamie at 5/8.

Has been the last 4/5 games.

Jamie has only played halfback once this year.

 

[The Who]

Surely Boldy will play it safe with the backline of:
Brooks, TT2, Sandwich, TT, Saab, Hoppa Jnr Jnr, Koala (that is assuming no injuries and TT not being picked in SOO3),

 

[Carl]

I havent seen much of humphreys at 7. What type of half is he? Would he fit better as a replacement for DCE or a (like brooks) partner?

If it's the latter, would he be better in a 6 role than talau?

Who would be best to play the dce role? Arthur could but he isn't available. Do we have anyone available who would be better for that than brooks? Croker hasn't been playing anywhere? Bunting?

 

[Sheikheagle]

The dream scenario is Paseka and Croker back with Croker to cover halves.

Turbo not picked for Origin and available.

Ponga, Best and Gagai picked for Origin.

I forgot about gay guy. That would even things up if both their centres were out. 🤞

 

[Stewbojevic]

Backrow and halves the biggest worry.

I hope we pick a genuine half this time, Jamie or Tyler.

In terms of the backrow, Lawton should play on an edge with Waddell or Bully on the other. (This really shows our lack of second row depth)

Fingers crossed origin selections go our way - Gagai, Ponga, Best all selected. Turbo not selected.

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Yep, hope they have a stormer later today and all get picked for QLD.

Ponga, Best and Gagai picked for Origin.

Backrow and halves the biggest worry.

In terms of the backrow, Lawton should play on an edge with Waddell or Bully on the other. (This really shows our lack of second row depth)

Fingers crossed origin selections go our way - Gagai, Ponga, Best all selected. Turbo not selected.

Not sure we could pick Tyler if Jamie is available.

It has to be Humphreys next week. All round half who can take over the kicking duties. The Souths game was a different proposition. But Knights at Brookie is a great opportunity for a debut. As you say, Arthur is out, Bunting still getting used to NSW Cup. If we are serious about winning, Humphreys will get his shot.

Fingers crossed origin selections go our way - Gagai, Ponga, Best all selected. Turbo not selected.

I reckon Waddell (if fit) takes Ola'akautu's spot, Lawton starts for Burbo, and I would bring in Schoupp to take Lawton's bench spot.

Humphreys for DCE, Brown starts for Jake, leaving one spot left for another middle: Paseka? Maybe Croker as a 13 type? Possibly Navale again? But I reckon Seibold goes with Condon

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Will Seibs be perched in a North Sydney Oval fig tree today at 3.00pm watching the form of the Blacktown boys against Barney Rubble and his first placed Bears?

 

[Carl]

Some good news from nrl.com:

Luke Brooks (Sea Eagles)

Grade 1 Careless High Tackle

1st Offence

TBC

$1000-$1500 fine

Not sure why it's first offense though.

• Luke Brooks (Round 4, Careless High Tackle – $1000 fine)

I would have thought JH is more a 7 than 6. He is more an organising type than an amazing runner of the ball.

 

[The Wheel]

Based on Ch 9 half time update Looks like Gagai and Best are certain selections whilst likely Ponga on bench for the Toads

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Yes, Bedman Brast has been named in the Old North England team.

Haumole out.

‘Smelly’ Ponga and the Gay Guy to be named for Queersland.

Things are looking up for Sunday’s game.

 

[SeaEagleSI1]

Let’s hope haumole isnt named 18th man
Goes into camp to sit on the bench and can’t play for Manly
