Team List Tuesdays ... Should be a ripper.

[Sheikheagle]

literally no changes based on performance, only injury. hopeless selections.

I think the changes forced by injury stopped any performance based changes.

 

[Seagles68]

Then the question would be if his replacement performed better than him while he was out, do you then cast his replacement aside to fit him back in, when he comes back it. If the answer is yes, then I can't see how this is logical.

No, there isnt anything logical about it. As I mentioned in the post, its unrealistic. Just making an observation that hes battered and needs a break. But its his job ...... But as an old Health & Safety Manager, he could do with a bit of rehab.

Possibly but I'm not sure he has the passing game. I think he games is best suited as a line runner ala Menzies (not that good obviously) To be honest I dont really see a young lock coning through.

Fulton maybe but I'm not convinced.

This is an area we have to go to market IMO

Yeah, I had high hopes for Fulton but he just seems to have dropped off the planet.

Yeah yeah. I know. But how on earth Gordie doesn't get a shot when a major reason we have no go forward is the NINE.

Ridiculous.

Exactly

If I was Gordie, Id be putting feelers out to other clubs. He will never get a run here. Absolutely pants. How is Boyle on the bench? He's been very poor for Blacktown for a while now.

He's not on the bench tho. Hes a reserve and he won't get a run.

The club should just resign Croker and Parker to a 10 year extension. Just be done with it. What a joke.

 

[Seagles68]

Exactly

I think probably coz we have so many big fellas out. I cant see Gordie starting yet. At best he will come onto the bench at some point to share Crokers role. I could be wrong but they're not going to bring on a rookie to start when they have both Croker and Lawton. They just wont.

 

[Woodsie]

For giggles my team would be

Tom
Garrick
Parker
Koula
Saab
The lean mean fighting machine .. THE SHU
DCE
Paseka
Croker
Keppie
Haumole
Burbo
Jake

Lawton (or Gordon can tan go)
Bully More
Woods
Fainu

Only difference ... Condon for the injured Woods ....

So ... IMHO best 17 possible ...

Swap Gordon for Lawton at 14 that would be my pick.

It's not like we are going great and he may surprise a few people.

Can’t see GCKT starting when he makes his debut unless both Croker and Lawton are out.His fitness won’t be up to it early on and no point making an interchange for a dummy half after only 15-20 minutes

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

Another drubbing incoming...MOM Tom Starling.

 

[BOZO]

Wow, Aloiai 3-6 weeks, Kelma 6 and Woods 4-6.
Also Fulton out 1-2 weeks.
Squad depth stretched to the limit ...

The NRL Seasons Challenging tests perspective

This is another great test for us

And It is only when we overcome Great challenges
that we become great Great Challengers our selves

If we keep failing this seasons tests
we will fail to make the finals this season

Id be giving Croker the week off and start Lawton at 9 with GT to the bench and see if they can work some magic with getting fowards hitting the line at pace
But what would I know, Im just a pie eater

Croker should be out.

That would work to

Watch Tom Starling carve us up..he always does.

you dont think Croker needs a week off with Lawton to start and have GT on the bench as 14?

 

[Woodsie]

Have no idea if Croker needs break ... but if available he has to start for mine .

Lawton gets the bench spot because he can cover centre as well as 2nd row and hooker ...
