TEAM LIST Pre-season Challenge Round 2 vs. Raiders

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Pretty damning that if you add Brooks into the number 7, the side would look no better.

i don’t even like the guy but not sure what you’re on about he’s 10x better than Wakeham lol

 

[earl]

That’s what trials are for Earl, don’t join those that are on here panicking already

I'm not panicking. It's a long long season.

8. Stefano Utoikamanu
10. David Klemmer

On a positive how good are these two as our starting props. Have we had better ?

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Good to see Tuki given an opportunity. Hopefully we see the best of him.

 

[SeanT]

Ordinary side. Talau being there is crazy. He's no where near ready. Put AJ in first and see how he goes

 

[SeanT]

All my off season optimism disappeared after seeing that team list. Back to reality. My god.

I thought dolphins list is bad but we'd give them a run for there money. Twal won't play lock so why trial him there? Crazy

 

[1eyedmel]

I would have gone for Staines@ 1
Laurie @6, Doueihi@ 4 for the lineup.

 

[Harvey]

If guys like Seyfarth, Talau, Wakeham are anywhere near our 17 we are in big trouble.

Not sure why we aren’t naming a full squad

Brooks that goof doesn't need to trial

 

[Harvey]

Staines on the bench.

Stains on the team sheet

If guys like Seyfarth, Talau, Wakeham are anywhere near our 17 we are in big trouble.

Not sure why we aren’t naming a full squad

This is our full Round 1 squad, barring Brooks, Api and Joffa.

They’re all out through precaution.

 

[old_man_tiger]

Nearly love the pack, obviously Bateman and joffa for Twal and seyfarth.

We are 1 injury away from the worst spine in the league, so with 2 guys out we are possibly not even cup level. To think that at some point, to have any hope, our season is likely to need Smith or Wakeham to step up is appalling.

Talau early pick for the new Sheens favourite, and we know how open-minded he is about judging on performance instead of his own unique opinion.

 

[twentyforty]

The title of the thread needs to be changed.
This is not a challenge. We already know the result.

 

[deBeer]

11. Ipap
12. Seyfarth

Were somehow fielding the best and worst second rowers in the comp

 

[cktiger]

So who is captain this week?

 

[innsaneink]

I thought dolphins list is bad but we'd give them a run for there money. Twal won't play lock so why trial him there? Crazy

"Everyone must play two positions"
Sheens

Its clear Matamua ain’t ready and with Joffa being out Sheens probably felt no other option was needed but Twal at 13. Matamua will get some time but even Sheens thinks he ain’t ready.

 

[tony soprano]

Why being played at Belmore?

Why being played at Belmore?

Double-header.

Doggies play Cronulla after our game.
