Team v silvertails

[BlackWhiteGold]

Makasini isn’t available as he’s playing for Newington against Scots at Stanmore on Saturday. His final game of rugby.

Interesting game as Scots have former Magpie Ashton Large as well as boom Penrith back rower Heinz Lemoto in their side.

Thanks B2T. Do you know if these games are streamed at all?

I’m no good with the interwebby stuff,
but this looks relevant 👍

New vs TSC

Other than the 25-18 scoreline in our favour which I would happily take.

Hope Doueihi is using the bye round to perfect his field goal kicking.

The whole team needs to practice them. The other day when Douihie won it at the end, the last two sets is an example on not what to do to set up a field goal. The last pass before Dougie got it Fainu actually came back from offside grabbed the ball and looked around to see who to pass it to. No idea what he was doing tbh. Surely it's simple to move the forwards to 6m to the side of the posts then pass to someone directly in front?

It was a complete mess that ended up being luck at the end.

The only player that is in form in that Manly side that worries me is Tolutau Koula (quality centres always seem to carve us up), other than that the rest are either out of form, injured or just ordinary. Shut down Koula and stop Turbo from doing anything "inspirational" and we should have them.

Be interesting who lines up opposite him, whether To'a returns fully fit & functional or Naden. Hopefully To'a.

only if Toa is 100%, otherwise I would put Taylan on him (maybe even if Toa is 100%). Tommy Talau is the other centre and has been playing like a busted this yr.

ahh ok i have got all 3 LO combank and CSS
it includes Allianz game you puck your seat via ticketek

The Allianz game is part of the Leichhardt package I believe, you will need the barcode # off your passes to redeem on Ticketek.

 

[JC99]

If To'a is fit you bring him in for Naden, otherwise the rest of the team is the same.

Manly are beatable however they give us matchup problems. Their middle is slow as and with Jake T out we need to attack behind the markers. I would be playing AD at halfback and Latu at lock he could carve them up. May be the day for Api to take over.

Bad mismatches against us out wide Koula and Saab in particular. Skelton lacks pace and Turuva small. Toa can do a job on Kouala but since injury he’s suspect.

If they give Makasini a start on the wing against Saab is the spot.

Yea I feel with Tommy Talau Tito's description is also Warranted:
"He is shit"


Were out of the 8, but Manly has a tiny chance. Would love to ruin that!

Bullemor will need at least two on him - breaks more tackles than most forwards in the comp

Confirmed. Talau is shit. So is Brooks.

Thanks to this thread my family got excellent tickets to this game!

As a season ticket holder I assumed this game was excluded like the magic round match. I should have read the details more closely. We didn't receive any email information about the game or ticket arrangements. But thanks to all the people posting here I saw the information otherwise I would have maybe not even gone to the game. I think the club could have communicated this a little better but I'm excited to be going to the game.

Surface tension: Roosters stars losing patience with Allianz Stadium pitch

Senior Roosters James Tedesco and Lindsay Collins have criticised the “slippery” surface at the $828m venue – which is scheduled to host four games in three days this weekend.

"Tigers CEO Shane Richardson said there were no contingency plans to relocate the Sunday game, and had full confidence the surface would remain safe by the end of the weekend".

Crazy isn't it? Kid has been training and playing predominantly school boy rugby for the past 3-4 months.

Give him the rest of the season in reserves and prepare him over the pre-season for NRL next year.

Bula, Turuva, Taylan May, To'a, Skelton, Luai, Latu Fainu, Terrell May, Koroisau, Twal, Sam Fainu, Sione Fainu, Doueihi - Murray, Pole, Hunt, Sukkar - Naden

You'd like to reward performance and keep Naden at right centre, but Koula will kill him.
Latu starts and plays as a half, in every grade. Need to progress his development in that position, not has a jack of all and master of none.
Sione Fainu to an edge and middle depth.
Murray in for Seyfarth and cover for Koroisau.

I think a few Bula 5th tackle carries, and big yardage kicks from Doueihi in this game. Number of the back doesn't matter here. Doueihi can be first receiver in goodball so will still get his hands on the ball. We need his big frame in defence, and for him to put his shoulder into it.
