Payto gone?

[Geo]

Update…Payten 16 wins 4 losses...

8\. Gibbs
10\. Galloway
11\. Ellis
12\. Flanagan
13\. Heighno

14\. Fulton
15\. Fifita
16\. Murdoch
17\. Dwyer

Thats what I'm thinking but right now I'm thinking in a panic mode. Feel free to find as many faults as you want.

But hopefully Big Toddy will be fine to play 😛ray:

if he doesnt play i wouldnt wnna swap gibbs & galloway and bring on rookies.

much rather see dwyer and fulton share 2nd row as well (move fulton to prop maybe once bring dwyer on) not sure

If Payten is out Skandalis must surely come in. Paytens defensive workload could not be even 1/4 matched by Fifita or Murdoch. He and Gibbs ruck defence has won us countless games

I suspect this will be the case, but is he fit?

16\. Gibbs
9\. Farah
10\. Galloway
11\. Fulton
12\. Ellis
13\. Heighington

14\. Murdoch-Masila
15\. Dwyer
19\. Fifita
20\. Skandalis

Is the best we could hope for I guess.

Massive, massive loss.

Is there anything good that happens for us before these games (finals)..? Its one bad news after another..
Without a doubt massive blow if Payten is out.I'm confident Skando can get the job done if he is 100%.

As you say Smeg, Payten's defensive workload is what the Tigers will really miss this week, he and Gibbs do a fantastic job of keeping the ruck tight so it's a massive loss and one that the Dragons will exploit I fear.

I wonder if Junior Moors is a possibility?

 

[system]

Moors is the smokey I guess.

It is his defensive but also his clean ball playing ability as a faux pivot.

But no point speculating too much. Game day will tell the story. Even if he is out adversity is all part of it

 

[Staks]

Whats a prop doing speed work for anyways ? He should of been practising his chips, dummys and cut out balls!

Big Hombre :frowning:

 

[TurnStyle]

at this stage it is all or nothing: do everything possible to get the best they have on there and take the risk.
theres time for sufficient recovery and i think hell play. no win = nothing to save him for….

 

[Danos]

The mention of Skando in the article seems speculative.. I was under the impression that he was still battling to recover from his glute injury.

 

[Archangel]

Hmm I agree with some. Probably best to end speculation until game day. The more I think about Payton missing out, the more nervous I get.

 

[Archangel]

Having said that, I am still confident we can come up with the W.

Thanks for that synopsis Aladinsane. Damn I'll be praying Payto can pull a miracle and take the field. Otherwise Payto must take this as sign that he needs to step up 10x in order to make his mark.

really? i think he is one of our best defenders and is going pretty good now.

 

[cunno]

What next! Give him plenty of ice, rest and a cortezone injection.

 

[NJLM78]

We just can't get a fair go with injuries this year! :unamused:

id rather fulton start instead of flano

move fulton to prop maybe

no no no no no

 

[Gobbs]

My confidence just took a severe dent and blow with the news and prospect of Payten being out. The man is the key to the side's ruck defence. His ability to read the opposition's attack and shut it down just as quickly has been just one of the reasons why the middle corridor for Wests has been rock solid.

I'm shattered. Shattered for Payten, shattered for the team. Shattered at the prospect of…..i don't want to say it :frowning:

 

[IronTiger]

lets just wait and see.

Sorry mate, major typo lol. I meant Fifita :blush:

we all make mistakes

 

[fainty]

ive had many ankle injuries from a rolled ankle to snapping ligaments to fractures! If he has just rolled it…he will play. If its ligament damage...he will miss the game. Fingers crossed. We'll all know tomorrow.
