Team for Raiders

1.McKinnon (Its time to see if he can recapture his 07,08 form)
2.Tuqiri
3.Lawrence
4.Daniela
5.Ryan
6.Marshall
7.Lui
8.Gibbs
9.Farah
10.Galloway
11.Payton
12.Dwyer
13.Heighnington

14.Ayshford (I think he is our best option as utility.Also time to see what he could do in the 2nd row or lock)
15.Fafita
16.Moors
17.Ellis (I would bring him on after 1/2 hour.He's coming back from international duty & the added rest will do the world of good)

Remember that Galloway still has miles in his legs. He had hand surgery and has been able to keep up cardio and weights.

It isn't like he is coming back from a hamstring or knee injury

I was referring to 'match fitness'. Very happy to have him back though, either off the bench or starting
 
its a great problem to have isnt it :slight_smile:

i am going to assume fults is still out

1\. Mckinnon

Flannagan the unlucky one to miss out :frowning:

4\. Lawrence
5\. Ryan

6\. Marshall

9\. Farah

If Galloway is to play, I'd like to see a four forward bench to cover for him if something goes awry and he comes off.

When he's on the field he does a ton of work, but the poor guy's body lets him down a fair bit. It would be good to know the Sheens has an ace up his sleeve to cover him. If Fitzy is fit he will play.

Realistically, the team will look like this I believe(assuming McKinnon & Fitzy are still not ready):

1.> Ryan
2.> Tuqiri
3.> Ayshford
4.> Lawrence
5.> Daniela
6.> Marshall
7.> Lui
8.> Gibbs
9.> Farah
10.> Galloway
11.> Payten
12.> Ellis
13.> Heighington

14.> Fifita
15.> Moors
16.> Dwyer
17.> Fulton

Permitting:
- Ayshford will play if he is fit. Daniela to the right wing if Fitzy or McKinnon are playing.
- Fulton in for Flanagan. As much as I like Flanno, Fulton will get the nod I think, he will be able to cover either the front or back.
 
I hope that Mckinnon will play against the raiders next week because i am going to the game so i am hoping that he will be in the starting lineup.

Two damaging front rowers on the bench. A powerful second rower and a creative lock. Now that is a great bench against any side let alone a big forward pack.
 
Fulton won't be fit to play. He's still listed to return in round 17.

I don't think Fafita is a starting Prop. Maybe start Payten their and bring Sauce and Andrew on after 15minutes?

i woudnt mind seeing galloway and fifta starting on the bench. they are both better impact players than they are starting imo
 
The team most people want and the team that will be picked will be two different things. Barring injury Sheens will stick with the likes of Fitzhenry, Flannagan and Ryan at the expense of probably McKinnon,Moors or maybe Dwyer.. I think the Bronks are showing what is required, a few hard heads in key positions and speedy and big athletic young players in the other positions. Anyway a few tough calls for Sheens.

for a team with these players the more likely line up will be

1\. McKinnon
2\. Tuqiri
3\. Lawrence
**4\. Daniela**
**5\. Ayshford**
6\. Marshall
7\. Lui
8\. Galloway
9\. Farah
10\. Gibbs

**12\. Payten**
**13\. Heighington**

14\. Flanagan
15\. Moors
**16\. Dywer**
17\. Fifita

Payten is a great starting player, it would be better for dywers confidence if he starts off the bench imo. Heighington is going great at lock playing off benji

Ayshford isnt one who passes the ball often which is why ive placed him on the wing to support daniela who has more spark as a centre imo.

Those naming McKinnon do realise he hasn't played in a month turned up 2 weeks ago seen us play 1 game and his only bonding has been pranked by Fulton…..

Not to mention momentum gained in the last 3 weeks have been tempered by the BYE....

Plus we are likey to have 2 blokes in Sauce and Ayshford coming back in after injury as well.....

Perhaps you guys are right....Sheens knows nothing......

I like it Bug minus Skando. We have way to many Jnrs that are raring to go.

And Like Geo - Im not sold in Mckinnon just yet, If he is likley to be gone in 2011 - I would like to See Meany given a few mins….
 
Ayshford is no sure thing of being fit this weekend have heard he might need surgery on his injury but does not want to miss the chance to play at Leichhardt… Hopefuly hes fine and play this weekend because in my opinion hes been our best centre this year
