Just imagine the explosion on here if Woods is in ??
Going to be as funny as buggery watching it unfold.
Team List Tuesdays ... Should be a ripper.
- Thread starter Woodsie
- Start date

Tele reporting this morning he is ..
I'd prefer Sipley, but I'm not sure we lose too much with Woods over any of them in the current environment tbh, with the exception of Bully.
IF Woods is picked in front of Sipley then ............ well I don't know but my original confidence that Siebold/Flanagan/Dymock was a step in the right direction will be severely tested. Picking the human turnstile in Harper has opened the door but FMD if they go with an aging, unfit (match), St G reserve grader over Sips then one has to wonder!!
Considering how well Sipley played on weekend he had much more impact, run meters and post contact meters than Woods did. Sipps did a lot of damage to the Riff forwards defense line.
My man Bully is having a great year , looks fantastic every time he comes off the bench, about the only one having a really decent crack ( bar machine man ).
Schu will be picked at 5/8.
But will he be recovered in time?
For Manly's sake I hope so, but if not surely it will be Johns. Weekes is better at 14 for now.

Here's a novel idea. Maybe Seibold will reward the reserves for playing well and select both Woods and Sipley.
He has much more impact off the bench , for now.

Not sure about all the Sipps love. Perhaps his absence from firsts for awhile, coupled with the poor showings by the firsts the past couple of weeks, is colouring people's views? The guy has a red hot crack and has some impact in very short stints. However, he was inconsistent, no lateral movement in defence and gasses all too quickly.

Great idea and nothing wrong with that as it is a period to experiment every option available before we hit the second half of the competition .
Include Sips and threaten Schuster with no Maccas even after retirement if he can’t get himself fit.
I agree, again he's not the answer, but if they keep rewarding poor performers with constant selection then the non performers will continue to sit back in the comfort zone. No incentive to raise the effort level.
He has been good for Blacktown, especially last Saturday v Penrith.
If the blokes ahead of him aren't performing, why wouldn't you reward good performance in the lower grades.
That's the whole point, isn't it?
Would love to see a reward/demote players on a regular occurence.
No one is safe attitude may work for this mentally diminished team.

Yeah, on second thought, I do see the advantages in rewarding hard work and performance and avoid complacency.

After that Penrith performance, I'm keen to see Woods injected into the side.
He may be past his best, but I reckon he will show more pride in the Seaeagles emblem than a few of those boys did on Saturday night....well we will soon find out cause he will definitely be there, can't do much worse than the others did last week.
