Team Lists


I think because Lodge isn't eligible until round 11, he doesn't feature on our current injury list.

I'm hoping Talau appears in today's team list - I'm sure he was 19th man (behind Faulalo at 18) in last week's team list.

I heard Faulalo was injured in NSW cup on Sunday?
He was 18th man on last Sunday
 
I do try to stay positive when the team is announced but this team is very ordinary. And against the Storm. I like Brown's efforts - he's crazy brave - but he rarely makes post contact metres once he gets hit. TKO has been going ok but is just solid. Tent and even Aloaia have been the momentum runners. I just can't see how we are going to get any go forward.
And Faulalo ia a good Cup player and ok when he's jumped up but they will kick to him all night and belt the cr*p out of him. I fear we'll be stuck in our 20 metre zone all night. I would much rather have had Ray (even with his issues) to at least get us going forward.
And geeez it's about time Seibs through someone like Navale in to give us something different to Waddell.
This could be ugly.
 
Sipley to start for mine. BFB & Bull to effective coming on together before ht. Foward pack very light on.

I assume Talau has a fresh injury, as I’m sure his foot concern hasn’t kept him off since December.

An injury report from the club would be great for an update. Seems that the only player they report on is Turbo.

Yep we are kidding if Brown starts at prop - he's only good for 30 minutes off the bench these days.
 
Sipley needs to start for Brown. Sips can do a job with his bigger frame in the opening exchanges. Brown is ineffective when he starts as the game hasn’t opened up yet for him to use his tip on play and speed through the middle.
Them without Huges and Meany leaves them a little out of sorts but we need all the help we can get this week
 
I hadn’t noticed that but someone said he was in a bit of pain before he come off on Sunday
Yeah, it was from a hit he took from a kick off. He tried to do BFB and one of the buggers got him huge on the shoulder. To his credit, he made another 5 metres after the hit. But it was clear he came off second best.
 
They'll roll over us in the forwards. No momentum up front will leave no room for the backs to play freely. This will be a bash up. Purple scum by 16.
