Ennis out

[cktiger]

Telegraph report…

_'MICHAEL Ennis is out of Friday night's City-Country Origin match _ succumbing to a rib injury.
The Bulldogs hooker failed a fitness test this morning at the Country Origin camp in Albury.\
\
It has the potential to cruel Ennis's chances of beating Wests Tigers rival Robbie Farah to the Blues No.9 jersey.\
\
``I am devastated,'' Ennis said.\
\
It means he has one match, against the Dragons in round 10, to impress Blues coach Ricky Stuart.\
\
Country selectors have called on Melbourne's Ryan Hinchcliffe to start the match as hooker.'_

Hope Robbie takes his chance and kills 'em.
Ennis most likely happy that Farah won't get the chance to make him look like a goose and hope selectors stick with him.

To stop your sides splitting from laughter I hope?

For mine it is a shame Robbie doesn't get to show him up. I reckon this probably enhances Ennis' chance at making the blues side.

I think it is a masterstroke by Ennis.

This way he cant be shown up by Farah.

I think Rick Stuart has made his mind…

Im hoping that Stuart goes with Young at Hooker now, because gidley wont be ready for origin, please no robbie in soo, we need him at the tigers. Who else have we got to take his spot whilst hes missing in origin, really? we dont really have a ready made hooker to replace him with.

Hinchcliffe coming in to hooker for Country. He is ok but it blunts their attack somewhat.

Than again Mullen is used to working off Waltzing's service at the Nukes so it might be ok

 

[tigersrule4life]

He knows robbie farah was going to put him on show go robbie farah u deserve another chance lucky we have the best hooker at the tigers :smiley:😀

I agree, they are going to pick him, which is a disgrace, he is sooo average. Robbie's best chance was to carve him on friday night

Against the broncoes he gave away 3 penalties, 2 of which were crucial and is defence or lack of it on the inside for lockyer's try when Hannet went through the middle was diabolical, his best quality as a footballer is that he is as Hindmarsh so accurately said, is his a grub. Built for origin, what a farce…...

 

[Joel Helmes]

But remember the most important fact - Ennis is "built for origin" :unamused:

 

[jtigerman]

Who else have we got to take his spot whilst hes missing in origin, really? we dont really have a ready made hooker to replace him with.

George Ndaira. He is no Robbie Farah but is still a quality hooker.

Is Pat Politini almost back from injury yet?

Fulton would be my choice he has all the skills to play the role We will have all our forwards back by origin and he would match Robbies work rate in defence . At the other bonus is he should be match fit by then to play 80 minutes . If not throw Moltzen in the 10 minutes to give him a break .Best option imo but lets not get ahead of ourselves yet .

 

[system]

Yeah Fulton with Ndaira on the bench in place of the back we carry

 

[farahfan]

agreed ennis is origin material, we can build a legacy around this guy

I'm actually thinking of going on a hunger strike for him … Right after I have some dinner. Can i borrow Tims candle please guys I think we all need to hold a 24 hour a day vigil and update on his condition

 

[cunno]

I wouldn't be surprised if Ennis was told to rest from the country team to give himself a chance to recover in time for SOO, it is sickening, although if he does come back against St George hopefully they will give his ribbs a good workout and he will be out regardless. I understand where 'you know who' is coming from wanting to keep Robbie for the Wests Tigers but we all know Robbie would want to be given another chance so if all the planets align, and the selectors accidentally call out Robbie's name- good luck to him. IMO Fulton would be the best option for hooker in Robbie's absence. Love that photo farahfan!!
