Team for next Week...

[travis_bickle]

Assuming that McKinnon is still injured

1\. Lote Tuqiri (If you've got a Ferrari why park it out the side of your house, when you can park it up front and show it off)
2\. Beau Ryan
3\. Blake Ayshford
4\. Benji Marshall is that far enough away from the ruck for you all)
5\. Mitch Brown

6\. Chris Lawrence (Goal Kicker, surely can't do worse than Benji)
7\. Robert Lui

8\. Bryce Gibbs
9 Robbie Farah
10 Keith Galloway
11\. Gareth Ellis
12\. Liam Fulton
13\. Chris Heighington

14\. Todd Payten
15\. Junior Moors
16\. Simon Dwyer
17\. Mark Flanagan (can be utilized in the backs too)
\
\
This team would rip the sharks a new one.

 

[Fraze23]

1\. Mckinnon
2\. Tuqiri
3\. Daniela
4\. Lawrence
5\. Ayshford (He's been defending like a busted past 2 weeks)
6\. Marshall
7\. Moltzen in an ideal world/Lui
8\. Gibbs
9\. Farah
10\. Galloway
11\. Ellis
12\. Fulton
13\. Heighington

14\. Fifita
15\. Payten
16\. Dwyer
17\. Tupou (if we're going to have a winger on the bench may as well be the biggest one in the game plus sheens said we'll see tupou in the back end of the season)

 

[Tiger_Watto]

1\. Wade Mckinnion/Mitch Brown
2\. Lote Tuqiri
3\. Nu Akeripa

14\. Todd Payten
15\. Jason Schirnack
16\. Simon Dwyer
17\. Andrew Fifita….

Love Jason Schirnack… With another Pre-season under his belt, he will be pushing for an NRL spot. Runs hard, tackles hard and doesnt take a backward step. If Jason was near that incident yesterday with Matai & Farah, he would of let rip and kicked the crap out of Matai. Could of been the difference in us winning today if we took that incident up!!!

I like the idea of making a positional change like this one. Unfortunately, it will never happen.

If Sheens did contemplate moving Benji, Id say it would be to Fullback though. Save him in Defence, Allowing him room either side of the ruck to cut loose on kick returns, and he could even come up do some ball playing from 1\. Benji coming into the line at speed would be devastating… [splash water], sorry guys, just dreaming…

 

[tigerdre]

1.McKinnon (was missed but should be back from a knee strain)
2.Tuqiri
3.Lawernce (gk)
4.Brown(Must be in the side somewhere & i think can be worthy addition to the centres)
5.Ryan (Was fit to play not sure why he was overlooked)
6.Marshall (3 from 11 conversions is not good enough. pass the mantle to Lawernce)
7.Lui (Showed glimpses of what he can do but Farah & Marshall have to put more trust in him)
8.Gibbs
9.Farah
10.Galloway
11.Ellis
12.Fulton
13.Heighnington

14.Ayshford
15.Payton
16.Moors
17.Dwyer

Fafita misses out.He is only young & needs work on his fitness.
He has been a bad boy at training & need to change his attitude a bit

 

[Robbie]

Not the team i would choose. But this is the team Sheens will name:

1\. Ryan (assuming McKinnon is out)
2\. Tuqiri
3\. Ayshford
4\. Lawrence
5\. Brown
6\. Marshall
7\. Lui
8\. Gibbs
9\. Farah

11\. Payten
12\. Ellis
13\. Heighington

14\. Skandalis
15\. Flanagan
16\. Fulton
17\. Fitzhenry

 

[Robbie]

Oh, i forgot to add. He will then start Fitzhenry at fullback and move Ryan to the wing, dropping Brown to the bench.

16\. Moors
17\. Dwyer

We were playing our best football with Fifita, Moors and Dwyer in the rotation - good go forward - i still can't understand why Sheens persists with only one of Moors or Fifita instead of both on the bench.

definately need those guys on the bench. dont go much on lui.. never have. sus in defence and rarely runs at the defence. the other teams hangs off lui 'cause they know he catches and passes virtually every touch of the ball. irks me big time that the guy who should be our halfback is now playing centre for the cowboys. what was sheens thinking letting him go. taumata was at least the equal of lui in defence but is lightning quick and would have been a real threat to a tiring defence, especially a side with big forwards. but the horse has bolted now and we need to find a half asap.

 

[system]

Moors came off injured in State Cup so there is Sheens' excuse when he is not named

 

[Tigerpete]

I'm doubting many changes. Ellis and Beau are supposebly back and if McKinnon is missing again i reckon Fitzy will stay there unfortunately. I'd be going with Beau at fullback or Brown but yes the writing's on the wall it will be Fitzy.

 

[magpiecol]

I am so over Sheens and his selections or non selections. I believe that he has cruelled a number of young players at both the Wests and Balmain sides. Even if he wins the comp, it is time for him to go. Maybe he could be the gnomes offsider in England.

Aysford and Fitzhenry could not be picked again next week could they?

Here is an idea, pick someone who can kick a goal. Would'nt that be a turnup?

 

[tsjonathan]

Fitzhenry will most probably start. He always finds a way into the team. Everyone here knows that.

 

[Staks]

1\. Ryan (Sheens said on ABC McKinnon will probably miss another week)

id love us to go out with this side against the sharks, i believe this side is capable of going all the way… if not moors then fifita but we cant have both....

 

[dimitri]

1\. Fitz
**2\. Ryan**
3\. Lawrence
**4\. Fulton**5\. Lote
6\. Benj
7\. Lui

9\. Farah
10\. Red
**11\. Ellis**12\. Payten
13\. Rhino

14\. Fifita
15\. Dwyer
16\. Flanagan
**17\. Skando**

Brown hesitates in defence and doesnt involve himself looking for the ball, particularly working it off the line.
Ayshford needs to work on his D in the reggies.

 

[dimitri]

By the way, Fitzy made 75metres yesterday from 9 runs with 1 tackle break.

Ben Farrar, the Eagles fullback, made 70metres from 11 runs with 2 tackle breaks.

Too think that Manly dominated us and yet our fullback was the equal of theirs.

This reply is for those bashers looking for a scape goat.

14\. moors
15\. fifita
16\. flannagan
17\. payten

This is the team that will see us give it to Cronulla IMO. I just hope no Fitzy, 4 forwards on the bench and Moors and Fifita get the run over Skando.

I'd be more than happy with this team
