Parker and Saab out injured

[JakeyB789]

Would love to see Walker back at right centre where he had his best season for us but have to assume Harper will come back in. Good chance for him to make amends against a weak Tigers side but terrifying that he’ll have that spot for a while with Parker gone. We have Olam/Storm in a few weeks..

 

[The Who]

We still haven't heard how long Tent and Davey are out for?

 

[XV-1]

We need to face the facts that Harper will be the centre.
Let's hope he replicates his form from the first half of last year.

Can Koula and Harper both play both sides at centre?

Koula plays both , Harper neither

 

[The Who]

There are so many injuries these days, and almost none of them are caused by illegal acts.
All the focus is on dirty play yet surely the sport needs to look at ways to minimise injuries in general.
I think we have 9-10 blokes out of action from our top 30 squad, so naming 21 will be difficult.

Would we put tui in centres and consider Jorge

I’d put Jorge in the centres…..our version of Talakai & a harder tackler!!!!!

 

[skeagle]

Yeah if Burbo goes centre then roumanos potential debut in Lawton’s bench spot

Yeap can hit

 

[Cliffymagic]

Cant wait till the team is announced. Almost as exciting as game day.
Lets hope turbo is 100%

I think Des will bring Morgan back for his redemption day. Good luck to guy and hope he smashes them in the centres. We all have bad days at the office!! This will be his opportunity to obliterate most of those memories with a great performance. What odds on MOM???

Garrick back to wing.....Tommy to FB......Tippytoes and Tolu left side. The bench is the interesting one for mine. One spot left there after Walker, Ben T and Marty. I would love to see Des promote young Tuitavake. Adds energy and power plus in our middles. We need it. Cmon Desmond!!!

I'd dead set play Jorge T in the centres before i played Harper.

Pretty sure tuitavake is injured but not sure how long. Bully is a good bench addition as long as he is playing in the middle rather then the edge. Much more effective there

seriously this. He can make metres at least.. Even if he does let in a few tries. Wont be as many as Harper would

Keep Koula and Tippytoes in centre too.

 

[Leighbra]

How has Ray Vaega been traveling in NSW Cup? He trialed well, maybe being a specialist winger he can slot in for Saab,

yes or put George in the centre if he has been playing there ok in BWSE

 

[Karshy]

I thought the judiciary was meant to take into consideration the injury of the player from foul play when deciding penalty. How on earth is $1000 an appropriate penalty for a season ending injury as a result of foul play? Yet Murray lands on his elbow and Lawton gets 4 weeks...
