Robbo

[Dessy]

I see that Robbo has not been named in the team this week. Is this because he didn't make the cut or because he is sitll injured? I remember hearing that he was only going to be out for 1 week with the knee injury. any news?

 

[The Wheel]

Injured for another week

 

[EagleRock40]

All these injuries weve had make it look like a rotation policy from Des. Who's in line for a 2 week rest next - Gift? Ballin? Foran? Our team should be fit, fresh and firing on all cylinders come semi final time!

 

[Rodo]

Must be still injured or he's been given a hard earned rest after playing 139 games straight 😉

You tell us Coach...lol.

I just see it as give him another weeks rest we have the depth in the backs to not worry !

Maybe Des should keep doing it till September lol. Makes me think though who would be our strongest 17. All have stepped out this year

Is there going to be a spot for Robbo? Its great to see Wolf back and scoring tries. Hoppa cant be dropped or maybe Des will give Hoppa a rest and just rotate the wingers.

Dessy has some tough desicions with a fit squad.As mentioned above every player has stood up this year.

That is a VERY good point. Wolfman made 153 meters tonight and was very good. It think Des will know what to do.

 

[Brookvale]

on the bench

 

[Nthn NSW]

Can't see Des using a bench spot with either Robbo or Wolf.T-Rex will be used for that role..

i think he will spell hoppa. i know that will bring howls of protest from many, but he is still a kid. des likes to bring them on slowly and send them back for a couple of weeks if situations allow. If we were playing semis i have no idea of the team he would select but i would very confident in whichever 17 he chose.

 

[castle eagle]

matai was holding his neck after being tackled a few times so maybe its a good time to give him a rest to recover- hoppa to take his place

 

[Brookvale]

why not, he only uses 16 players.

Matai keeps getting injured after his crunching tackles.

 

[Nthn NSW]

why not, he only uses 16 players.

Valid point:-/

DCE will probably get called up for QLD so we'll rearrange the backline and no one will miss out! 😉

If Matai doesn't hold his neck I get worried.

Take away Hoppa being our best wide target/strike weapon/bomb defuser/try scorer, etc, etc.

He is consistently our best metre eater. On that basis alone, Des would have rocks in his head to drop him. Turn his average 170 metres a game into a respectable average 70 metres (for a winger), and we'll risk turning solid wins into losses.

I love the bloke but look at Hopoate and Wolf
Why would you even consider dropping these blokes?
They are going that ****ing good its suicide....i feel sorry for
