Team Vs Storm next week. (Pre-Game Day Discussion)

[Mitch]

Any update on Taupau's injury and whether he'll be available for the Storm game?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Lussick tried hard, he will be better for the run.
As for @susan 's comment about form line, I'd say Illawarra have a pretty good form line, we are not the first side they've touched up this year.

Bob you gotta add Api and BJ.
I'm not a massive Api fan but he showed more enthusiasm than some today.
Look I'd keep the same team. They'll be hurting and I reckon this team takes some pride in what they do. And I think the roosters game took a bit out of them which seems to happen to teams this year.
But if next week doesn't bring results then BOOM .
They feel the wrath !!!

Rib cartilage.
Absence unknown.
But by all reports these injuries take a few weeks.

Why are you including me in your comments? You've been attacking quite a few people's opinion's a fair bit on here lately. Seems like you're fishing for an argument or a fight with someone?

Same as the other day with how outraged you were about my opinion on which props I'd be interested in looking at? Mate, they are just opinion's.

For the record, @susan has been here since day dot. He's very knowledgable, and also has some fantastic contacts at the club. I appreciate his input & value.

It's almost like you come on after a loss, waiting for someone to post something negative, so you can call them out. Happened almost every game this season.

I come here to discuss football, but it just seems your posts are more about other forum members than actual Rugby League talk? I know that's exactly what I'm doing here, but I thought I'd respectfully reply to a post in which you tried to call both susan, & I out.

Move on Kevin. You've made your point about me. People get it. They've read it over and over.

Relax man.

Roosters form was misleading. Played no one of note except a weakened Panthers side and won on a ref error. Brisbane had played the best sides and showed a lot of Roosters flaws Thursday.Missed the previous couple of games as was in China but our young talent must have shown through to get those results.

We are a young side with plenty of talent who are coached badly.Get a decent coach,develop some structure , buy a top line edge secondrower and work on replacing 6,9 and 14 and we can improve dramatically.

yawn zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

Relax man.

I'm not the one going after forum posters like you have been mate. Methinks you should listen to your own words. Just relax your agenda for a while.

Hastings for Brown. Brown needs the practice of playing a full game.

Agree Hoops........Hastings for Brown & Perrett for Taupau if he's out!
I'd start with Myles & Lawrence, bring on AFB, Myles & Perrett in turn, inject Hastings with 20 to go in each half!! Nothing against Brown but this love affair Barrett has with him needs to change! To be honest I'd kinda like to see what DCE & Hastings would be like as our Halves combo??? Having those 2 plus Api on the field together would be pretty damn exciting! The opposition wouldn't know where to look!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well if we thought the Dragqueens were going to be easy then there's no doubt the Drizzle is going to be very very very hard to handle.

Play like this week and it's a mauling, play like last and we will be in the fight but there's no doubting Scam Smith is the best game manager in the business, if they get ahead by 8-12 it will be impossible to overtake them.

Interesting times for this young team and rookie coach.

Brown needs practice, period, full stop...and in NYC

Just a shame Api's dummy half service isn't matched by his enthusiasm.
Let's hope he can put it all together more consistently, like the previous few weeks.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Injuries may well decide selections , after all we don't have a lot of depth.

If no injuries I'd have Brown out Hastings in, but betcha Twenty would just pick exactly the same team as this week.

 

[susan]

Hey negative Susan take a walk you only showed up when we started losing and that makes me very disappointed and as soon as you here the hate is heaped on the coach who has given the team the structure they want, the 6 and 9 who have had awesome seasons and we're far from our worst today. Go back to China so I don't have to here your negative trash. One loss doesn't shape a season. We had horrible ref descions, horrible! A number of injuries to in form players. And had a big game last week that had us tired as hell. We were horrible today but our season has been good.

Been on here for 11 years you young goose. For 15 you certainly know how to throw around the disrespect.It is a discussion forum so give the 2 year old rubbish a miss.

Missed games because I was in Shanghai on business.As for being negative I have always said we have a lot of talent but a couple of ordinary personnel in the spine and I stick to that. Two or three games don't cut it. Show me a season and I'll agree.

As for the coach I always said the jury was out last year and he didn't get a fair crack with injuries.

Changed my view this year as his selections struggle to make sense.If you think that the 6 and 9 are going to take us forward over the next 2 or 3 years or Brown is a better alternative to Hastings then you watch different games to me.

It also may have escaped your mind but our season is heavily skewed towards home games in the first part of the year and we need to capitalise early so don't be throwing around 3 from 6 as a fantastic year. It is a pretty decent start and we need to desperately start winning some home games as it gets a lot tougher.

I'm not going after anybody man. I may disagree with some things from time to time. As others do me, but I fail to find the correlation between that and me going after posters incessantly on this site. Off the top of my head I can think of three people who I have disagreed with. @susan last night, and I hardly attacked him, just pointed out that he had been quiet the last few weeks, I thought it was poor that he jumped all over the team after a loss. There was some guy, who I can't remember that had a go at me, about Nate Myles and said I was from Blacktown. Then there is you, who I feel attacks pretty much everyone involved with the club. Hardly a rampant, randomised attack on people.

Can you read Kevin. I didn't see the matches before the Roosters game and been away. Jumping on the bandwagon after a loss is rubbish. As I said I've been on here for a decade through good times and bad and not afraid to voice an opinion.

As for being negative I have said numerous times this year we have so much talent but in a couple of key positions I can't see the logic. If that's negative so be it.

I know you've been on here a long time, and have enjoyed your input. I disagree with you regarding the perceived lack of takent in our spine. I believe we have the required talent to go well this season, and with 2 or 3 astute signings next season we will be top 4 again in 2018.

 

[susan]

Ok. Thats fine. I suppose my point is that saying we need a better hooker and five eight to progress isn't negative on our overall team. With better service ,a more dynamic six and a couple of damaging bacrowers we are easily a top four side.

 

[grassy]

I will be at the storm game next week and you never know we could have a really good game.Dragons game a little disappointing but that's footy.Still early days and there is still hope for our side.We can only hope that we go well with what we have.I'm looking forward to the storm clash.

You involved me in a discussion & disagreement you were having with @susan. That's just petty, immature stuff befitting The Kennel Kevin. While calling someone else out, you draw third parties in, basically to antagonize multiple people & cause conflict.

As @lsz said, susan was just nicely sharing an opinion, and as has been pretty consistent with you of late it appears, you just turned on the post & poster, vilified him, then had a go at me for no apparent reason at the same time?

It's just the kind of thing that will turn people away (as others have previously suggested about your posts, not me) from posting here if viewing the board.

Like I say, people get it. You've stated multiple times your feelings about and towards me, and even in this post I've replied to, you re-iterated it for maybe the 25th time? You think I attack everyone involved with the club. I put it in bold and underlined, to further help you get your point across. Couldn't work out where to increase the size.

I wonder, if I've attacked everyone at the club like you say, why do people pretty high up share information with me? Must be because I'm such a poor fan that just attacks everyone.
