[Mitch]

Clearly Funa doesn't make the final 17?

Oh I would ditch Boyle

I would ditch that plodder Boyle - Schuster can play backrow and Jake to prop if needed

Wow.
Parker, Walker, Lance and Sir Loin get into the top 17 and The Shoe can't?
It's now time to drop the 'Professor' from DESpicable's nickname and just stick with the adjective: MAD.

Lance must be in possession of the goat photos now.
Gee they get passed around a bit don’t they.

You'd have to think so surely.

You'd have to think so surely.

Swap him Josh Schuster will be the final play I hope

 

[pjayz]

@Snake was on the money. The centres, Crocker, and Gosie all as he suggested.

 

[lillchip]

Walker at fullback - what a joke - hasn't played a decent game at centre or 5/8 in years - but he's now considered good enough to measure up to Tedesco
Boyle on the bench - despite not being able to scare a boy scout in years
Schuster not even in the 17 - the best prospect in many years might as well join another club now
Keppie and Sipley also not in the 17 - wtf

FM I'm done...

Why don't we just ask to be placed 15th now? Or is it the spoon letting Saints off the hook?

 

[TimmyQ]

Well on one positive note I see no reason for Funa to fill a bench spot so let's hope Schuster gets that gig.

 

[mave]

Suprised re Schuster....well I'm not really that suprised. It is Des after all.

 

[davohan123]

Josh schuster not named in BWSE squad to play north’s

our game is live 1:10 pm on fox sports 502 this Saturday good chance to see both our reserve and first grade squads play.

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

Schuster left out of the 17.
The side named will not necessarily be the one that plays but no Schuster either way.

Thank you Snake for your insights and as always you were on the money. I didn't like this insight by the way lol but I knew you would be close and you were spot on. Appreciate you sharing your views when you can/do.

 

[The Who]

I saw DESpicable at Northern Suburbs Crematorium this morning. He was wandering aimlessly.
When I asked what he was looking for he replied:
I've lost the plot!

 

[MightyEagles]

Bloody hell I hope there's some changes coming Friday and an hour before kick off

 

[Ryan]

We are in MASSIVE trouble. Lets break this down:

Dylan Walker, World class centre, and back-up 5/8 playing fullback for the first time
Lachlan Croker, under sized half back, and last years utility playing starting Hooker
Haumole Olakau'atu, can't even make the side, but Gosi can start
Morgan Boyle beats out Keppie, Sipley and others
Tevita Funa, all round toiler gets the nod over Cade Cust (who played 14 in the ASG)
Taniela Paseka pushed back to the bench

Is Des hanging out with Fainu and Suli on those pipes?

 

[Briza]

18-21 should be in the 17 and bring up Saddler, Cust, Peseka for Boyle, jetski and Croker.

 

[Waz13]

Relatively predictable team really. Would of gone keppie for Boyle and Schu for Funa but that’s about it. Bring on Sat arvo!!

 

[The Who]

Has anyone issued a Missing Persons notification for Guaca yet?

 

[Highflier]

I dont get having Funa there ,Schuster can cover anything Funa can and most likely make a good fist of 9 or 13 if he has to which Funa certainly can't.I get the Walker idea but for me I want all my best players on the park as close to their correct positions as possible ,and therefore Schu has to be in the 17
