next week's team?

[47MVEagle]

It was a joke, on Mark's post. You know, like they actually refused to play, so possibly their heart's weren't 100% in it anymore?
But I now this topic is extremely serious and painful for you. Humour sometimes helps get through stressful situations, give it a try sometime?
Meanwhile feel free to quote any of my posts on this topic, I'm sure there's at least 20 of them but don't think you'll find any reference to victimising the devout 7 (or 10 or whatever it was)

Woke woke woke woke woke woke woke ad nauseam

 

[KNUCKLES]

Yeah, I was pretty impressed by Smalley, didn't look out of place that's for sure. Certainly got a bit of depth in the backs this season.

Brian To'o 2.0

 

[Ryan]

I'd be happy to see Smalley on for Saab (not applicable as Smalley's suspended for 1 week I think?) & Fulton take Schuster's bench spot.

Give Saab some time in reggies to find his hunger & timing off his centre & let Schuster get fit there too.

If we want a replacement for Saab (which I don't necessarily agree with) Vaega would have to be the one.

 

[Showbagz]

If des doesn't pick em, they will scream discrimination, even though a couple probably don't deserve it.

We better consult with em to find the right side for des to pick

 

[Snake]

There can be a clause written into the release that prevents Taupau playing against us next week.

 

[eagleron]

Des absolutely won’t blacklist or penalise the devout 7 for refusing to play.
However - I also don’t think he’ll pick them all automatically just because they refused to play.

Next week’s side…? If all available, most picks are fairly settled. But not all?

Garrick
Saab
Harper
Koula
Tui
Foz
DCE
Paseka
Croker
Aloia
Davey
Haumole
Jake

Bench: Walker, Marty, Schu, Bullemor

Toss up between Sipley and Schu?

If Davey can’t play Sipley might get a reprieve. Bullemor did enough last night to demand retention, which means one of the devout 7 could lose his spot on form by giving another player an opportunity

Let Marty go to Parramatta and replace him with Sipley

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Given everyone is 100% fit you can bet the guys that stepped up will NOT get picked this week.

We are in 10th ( could even be 11th but that’s doubtful ) and cannot afford a single loss from here to finals week one.

Damage has been done mate. How would you feel when the guy beside you all year , busting your gut to get to the finals won't play because of the colour of the jersey and it potentially costs you a spot in the finals. I'd be pretty sh*tty for sure.

Maybe Boyle in for Keppie, that's about it.

I can see your point mq, but got a feeling the team will be galvanized for a big one at Brookie, if it was an away game the passion might not be there.

 

[Cliffymagic]

The magnificent 7 better shine next week. No excuses.

I'm surprised you haven't blamed DCE for this, as you blame him for every negative thing that happens to our great club.

You're paid the money you do the job, you wear the uniform, that's how it works in the real world.

No chance in hell buddy. Marty can play for Blacktown if he doesn't want to be there and Parra can get stuffed and drop out of the 8 for all I care. We need to keep the Parra LOL thread going for another 35 years.

Let him play in blacktown or pocket 200k. I know what I would rather

 

[Andrew..]

Did Alfred Smalley cop a suspension for that hit on Thursday night ? I thought he had a real dig and he wouldn't look out of place as a regular 1st grader.

I really don't think parra would get much value out of him, his best days are well behind him

Who cares, kiss me Ronny.

Yeah well glad you're happy that we pay him $1.3mil while missing out on signing decent players.

Of course he got suspended for a love tap. He's not an Olympic class grub like Maria or punchy Nelson who manage to get away with fines for dropping elbows into peoples faces. F*ck the nrl are pissweak.
