1 Elliott
2 Jorge
3 Funa
4 Parker
5 Garrick

8 AFB
9 Levi
10 Keppie
11 Thommo
12 Siro
13 Jake

14 Crocker
15 Boyle

If Parker out ... Garrick to centre and Mitski in ...

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Garrick dropped? Wow

 

[Woodsie]

Garrick dropped? Wow

Ok ... If it upsets you so much ... I put him back in ...

Truth is I thought Jorge was going to be out, so brought Mitski in ... then when I say Jorge back week 7 ... I went to change it .... and in a seniors moment changed the wrong wing ... thanks

Explains why there was no stakes in that bet!

 

[The Wheel]

Froggy will be 5/8 I reckon, who comes onto bench will be interesting.

 

[MightyEagles]

Marty will be back

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Yep, Des said as much in the presser when asked. He said Croker had done enough to earn a shot in the 6 jersey while Walker is out. I'm tipping Cust will come in at 14.

 

[Tomay]

I think he starts Cust and keeps Crocker in the bench role has has been excelling at. Also Marty will be back and Boyle will drop out with Keppie on the bench.

 

[The better Robbo]

Elliott
Jorge
Parker
Funa
Garrick
Croker
Chez
AFB
Levi
Taupau
Thommo
Siro
Jake

Bench
Cust
Keppie
Paseka
Gosiewski

Reserves
Boyle
Sipley
Olokoatu
Schuster

If Parker out then Gosiewski to centre and Olokoatu to bench, T rex into the 21

 

[XV-1]

Rumour is Snake will make a comeback at fullback

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Parker should not play, he was knocked out cold and I'm pretty sure he has had several head knocks over the past couple of years. He'll want to play and Des will want him but surely our doc will say nope?

I think you are close to the money Robbo. Only difference for mine is on the bench and the reserves. I thought Boyle did enough to maintain his spot on the bench..... ahead of Paseka…... who now moves to reserves. Schuster on reserves for the first time.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

And it Paqrker and Suli (and Walker) both missing, I like Funa and Schuster as centres.
WIth Tom and Walker likely to be mising for quite a long time it not unreasonable to introduce Schuster early in the season, and giving him a run in the centre would be a better introduction than the pressure of 5/8 or replacement dummy half.

100%

 

[maxta]

I reckon Croker will start at 6 - but Schu could very well, be on the bench...

Most likeley scenario. Hopefully no more injuries for a while.

Yeah definitely seems weaker and slower this year. He did have back surgery so maybe lost a lot of core strength and power. He will come good
