Fulton Injury

[fergiefurr]

Couldn't find a profile for Sitaleki, have also heard very little of him this year. Couple of mentions in game reports last year is about all i've heard of him.

How is he?

Tall rangy type back rower, although he has seemed to have put a bit of bulk on in the off season. Very quick, good footwork but his offload is the real quality in his game. He hasn't had any trouble bring the offload from the 20s to state cup, hopefully he can get the arm free in firsts aswell. If Moltzen bothers to follow him he will get a ton of opportunities.

If you had to compare him to a curent first grader it was be feleti mateo

We will miss Fulton's defence and general workrate greatly

And against the Storm this will be a bad thing

We will, however I guess Pettybourne will start, with Anasta at 7 and a bench of bell, ava, BMM and akauola we will finally have quiet a large pack…so no excuses if we get rolled down the middle.

Melbourne aren't the side that will roll us down the middle

They will take advantage of any mistakes we make and make us pay big

Ayshford and Lawrence are going to need to have their best defensive games of their lives for us to be even a half a chance of winning

Masada Iosefa is a good player. He is being crucified by people here on the basis of one result…Manly 26 - 0\. I trust the knowledge of the coaching team over anything posted here. If he's in the squad, good on him. I wish him well and expect he will do a good job.

Masada Iosefa is a bum who was playing for Mounties last year. And he is an absolutely awful defender. I take it you haven't watched much NSW Cup because he has struggled there too. Has not stood out at all and should be nowhere near first grade.

Fulton is no big loss at all on this years form. Very glad to hear Akauolo is getting a chance. It's s shame we are playing Melbourne and will still be beaten but size and impact in the second row is exactly what we desperately need. Keen to see how it works.

What about Shaun Spence? He recovered from injury ok?

Second highest tackle count in the team behind Farah. He does more than a lot of people think. If he doesn't play it's going to cost us.

With Mr T traveling, does this mean Moltzen isn't 100%?

Sitaleki Akauolo in confirmed by Marika on Facebook.
Also Mr T 18th man.
Dunno if Marika should be posting that though.

At last some sensible selections from Mr. Potter. Am excited to see them play in FG.

I think it is probably a couple of things-1\. He is a outside back that can play in the forwards so if he has to co e in for an injury I the warm up it means we can cover any position in a bit of a reshuffle especially given we have no backs on the bench. 2\. A reward for his good form in nsw cup

I think the Tigers should start Mr T. Just paint the bloke bright green and get him to scream at the storm all night "Hulk smash!!!". Tigers win, simple :mrgreen:

 

[TIGER]

this could be a blessing in disguise for us. i love fulton but i just dont think he has it anymore. i think move pettybourne into 11 (think he played there for bunnies) and then Sauaso Sue or Joel Luani to the bench. But please no ioseffa

Pettybourne knocks up after 15 mins

 

[Milky]

I hope Moltzen is fully fit, we need him he is our best back this year. I am also hoping Reddy gets cut for Mr T.

1\. Tedesco
2\. Moltzen
3\. Lawrence
4\. Ayshford
5\. Taqele

11\. Pettybourne
12\. Thomson
13\. Blair

Silly/Dumb Question

Who is Mr T or Big T?

 

[innsaneink]

Sitaleki Akauolo to come in according to The Mole on twitter.

He's been having an excellent impact off the bench in State Cup. A hard ask against the Storm, but he's got some size, speed and a very handy offload.

Yeh, well rewarded.
My initial thought was is this round a good time for us to be blooding young blokes….but then I think about where we are....there;ll be no easy time for rookie forwards with us.

Taguele naivaro wacko

 

[boonboon]

Neither Akolua or sausau soe played nsw cup today so looks like they are both off to Melbourne as a minimum

 

[LaT]

Looks like we are taking a few options with us to Melbourne.

 

[fergiefurr]

Sue is more of your traditional forward, still a bit small for my liking but he will put 100% in. Akauola has more of an x factor…interesting to see which way potter goes.
