Team List Tuesdays ... Should be a ripper.

[Adz]

I will be very interested to see the Schuster/Tuilagi combo in attack,with Parker back and the 2 of them running off Schu,he might be a lot more effective this week.
Might leak some points too,lol.
Interesting to see the roosters have named 5 middles in their pack with a few injured.

Woods might not be as dynamic as Keppe, but at least he doesn't do stupid **** during games.

I reckon the opposition would rather Woods playing than Keppie too

Yeah, but Keppie is like that Jenga piece you take out (after all the hard work) and the whole tower collapses.

I reckon they’d be happy to see both in our line up 😂

I can’t believe Tuilagi is back in the side.

Man does he have a lot to prove. His slow ineffective hit ups and lazy defence.

Dear oh dear

Surely Keppie/Lawton play ahead of Aloiai and Woods.

Who are their managers? That seems to drive team selections these days

 

[XV-1]

Where is Samuela Fainu? Not listed as injured!

About to get pushed out to the Tigers. Stupid decision

LMFAO. Gold . Very funny.

 

[TheSoaringEagle2023]

LMFAO. Gold . Very funny.

The above Jenga piece is Schuster.

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

Good seeing Burbo back, and I think - or at least hope - that he might add a point of difference to what is otherwise a pretty one-dimensional bench.

I assume Keppie might be carrying a slight niggle injury, or the coaching staff just think he needs a week off, because otherwise on form I really can't see why you'd pick Aloiai ahead of him at the moment. Bullemor and Woods, I've no objection to them being there.

 

[Heckenberg]

Sam Fainu must be on the way out… offers way more than Woods, Keppie, Tuilagi, Lawton, Aloiai, Sipley, and Burbo.

There was video of him at training still today on manlys social media page. Hasn’t shipped off just yet.

 

[QueefRichards]

Is Keppie injured?

He's had a great year, really bad coaching if he's dropped for one bad game.

Doesn't make any sense why Burbo and Tuilagi are ahead of Fainu. We need to win matches in order to make the finals, and Fainu is a better player than either of them right now.

Surely won’t be the bench we field.

 

[ALinda]

A few surprises today, namely Keppie in reserves (injured or possibly demoted?) but I didn't think he's been that bad lately. Moreso would've expected Aloiai to be dropped. Also Lawton in reserves, meaning Croker's to last 80 mins.

I thought Harper deserved to keep his spot, being one of our best last week, and I don't mind Woods on the bench after no errors or missed tackles in the last 2 weeks. However, as has happened last week, there's bound to be some changes before kick-off. With everyone back bar Turbo and a competition for spots, it puts them all on notice and makes it interesting.

 

[KaZa]

It's odd how good Tuilagi was the first few weeks. Shame his level dropped right off

 

[Ryan]

How has Kelma Tuilagi been picked. He wouldn’t make Narraweena hawks in my opinion

Harsh, but fair Jen!!

Kinda be hard staying motivated when coaches, players and others around you is constantly wanting out. It kinda breeds apathy mate.

We need a thorough cleanout of players who do and don't want to be here. And I mean REALLY want to be here.

Get the character and culture right, the rest will follow. I'm pumped about next season's backline.

Also Bullimore, not seeing the impact that he had from a few weeks ago. also starting to jersey grab a bit and falling off tackles, lets hope this trend doesn't continue.

Interesting, hasn’t noticed that, but maybe it’s just the difference between defending in the middle where they’re usually coming straight at you, versus out a bit wider where there are bigger gaps to cover?

Could even be part of why Schu’s defence has got exposed a few times since he’s moved to 5/8?

I reckon you are right on the money SER8… lateral defending is a whole new game that requires the ability to read plays, make quick decisions, be quick to react AND put your body on the line…

There is nowhere near as much nuance and isolation in the middle where the big boppers move laterally as fast as cruise ships and offloads and dummy half are the only things that you have to think about…
