Oh well - No loss - we appear to be winning regardless. The longer he rests - the less chance he has of ever playing rep footy. That's the sad part for him.

Monaghan might be playing himself into a rep jersey - LoL

According to Gould anyway....

And when I claimed he might play SOO one day - I copped an absolute barrage !

Des is having trouble with his word word processor. He said "stuff it" send the same teamsheet as last week.

I know what you mean CC - the backrow sure has been putting in the work. MSE says Halden covers Hooker and Halves so I guess it isn't completely crazy.

Toughen up! Do they need a rest? I remember when replacements had to play half a PL game before they could go on. Play the full 80, they get paid to be fit.

Theoretically it's not crazy (especially if a half/hooker goes down early), MB, but practically it has been. Willo/Choc can cover the Centres if there's an emergency, Ballin/Lyon can cover the halves, Burns can cover Hooker. Thus another backrower on the bench would be better. I feel sorry for Stewy and Choc when I see them doubled over late in the 2nd half. It also means there far less effective when they're less fresh.

worst case scenario willo can cover hooker/halves imo

Also i feel stewy could slot into 5/8 with burns half if not stewy then lyon. Chuck choc into the centres for the rest of the game with willo inside him.

There are ways around it but if you lose a playmaker then your going to struggle, there is about the same chance for all teams and its fairly low, monas and burns are both tough buggers, monas hasnt missed a match in maroon and white

Hicksy to 2nd Row, choc to 5/8 Rose to Fullback,,, im confused, whos on first ?

 

[domdom]

rose to fullback. love it

Fox Sports TV news are reporting that Des won't make a final decision on the team until midday on Saturday. He wants to give Orford a fitness test then to see if he will play. He also will see whether Kite and Lyon will play.

I would rather Halden be the back up half/hooker than Dunleu.
