Is that the worst 2nd row ever fielded by an NRL team in the modern era?
 
Found this post on Facebook…some positive news regarding Elijah Taylor also -

The team had a function on tonight in Brisbane at the Sofitel. Proud to say they're all really good guys and happy to say hi to everyone.

Bit of info for everyone:

- Jordan Rankin is in tomorrow night! He'll be kicking and will slot into 5/8.
- Ava wasn't chosen this week due to displinary reasons after the Robbie incident last game. Ivan said he didn't think it was setting the right club culture to see that as acceptable behaviour on field.
- Elijah Taylor isn't going anywhere! 😊 Said his Mum rang him from New Zealand crying after reading an article that he was leaving. That was the first he'd heard of it and there is zero truth to it. He said he hopes the club wants him next year as the contract is in clubs favour rather than his. He reckons he's got 4-5 years of footy left in him then would like to go into real-estate.
 
That backrow sent a shiver up my spine. I hope the game is cancelled due to rain. Only a natural catastrophe will save us in this one.

Can't believe the Lurker gets paid to make up these articles.

I work at Maccas on $10 an hour and he gets paid to make up this garbage. Lol

That's really good to hear regarding Taylor. On Rankin, I think he is the right choice for 5/8 over Littlejohn.

We haven't seen Lovett play under Cleary yet. Who knows, we might see a miracle. That being said though, I'm hoping we see Eisenhuth given a chance.
 
@ said:
Surely Lovett will drop out with Eisenhuth coming in to make his debut.

I would like to see that too…but Lovett is a better defender than Matt and has been among the best in ISP the last few weeks...so gets his chance...

Rankin over Littlejohn for goal kicking makes sense...if we can score TRIES I guess..
 
I don't have high expectations for this game and so will be looking at the effort. If they all put in, to me that would be an improvement and all that can be asked of the current squad. It would be nice if we could jag a win but the reality is that is highly unlikely.

Did anyone think maybe Ava is out for punching a former club legend? That gets you an automatic week suspension

Yeah for doing a half hearted punch.

To be fair it's probably the most aggression a WT Player has ever shown lol

Mcliwrick, Aloiai and Edwards were belting blokes left and right. I thought it was one of our most aggressive performances in years.
