Watch out, the King and the boys are coming to get you

@BringbacktheBoof just post under your usual name, you're not fooling anyone with this crap.

Lawton in cust out josh schuster gets his chance at 6.

 

[globaleagle]

It'd be nice if a whole raft of changes weren't needed a few days before playing a team above us on the ladder who also happens to be many peoples 'arch nemesis'...!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well we will now see how the Shoe goes at 5/8

And I’m excited to see how Lawton goes although a big ask coming in for your first game against the red hot Eels.

Jeez we can’t take a trick with injuries can we.

still think we have enough good Players to win on Sunday but like you have said previously losing cust this is a blow.

I agree but if we ever get to play full strength man I would hate to be the team that plays us.

seriously if we ever get to be full strength watch out NRL we are coming !!

 

[Nordburg]

Not confident in getting big minutes out of the bench,if required

 

[The Royal Soup]

****s sake, another re shuffle

I can smell the NRL and the Refs doing everything in there power now to help the eels like always and stop our recent run of form

You just have to look back back to last year..forward pass defeat at bankwest remember.

you can see it a mile off we are going to find it very hard going on Sunday!! Only once we are out of the contest will we be given a look in.

26-14 eels way I think on Sunday.

 

[The better Robbo]

I like this team. Lawton is a gun and will have impact. Poor Cust might not get his spot back if he's out for a couple weeks.
I think this team looks stronger

But this now is josh schuster chance to show us what he is made of at 6.

The only thing that Schu is made of that I want to see is a very good Foran impersonation. This is not the time to let him loose to do what he wants.

 

[stoodamire]

Hmm the left edge is lacking penetration now.
Keppie and Parker sheesh.

Maybe good defence at least.

 

[Kalvin]

Anyone know what Cust has actually done? Was it a training injury?

 

[Sheikheagle]

Watch out, the King and the boys are coming to get you

King of the spoons.

 

[EOL now nesting on the GC]

Has Lawton had a regies game yet or is this straight into the fire?

Haha, if we win this with Schuster at 5/8 it will fuel the "Des got lucky with injuries" mob.

I think Lawton will suit the faster game.

Straight in. No lube.
