So what about Reynolds? He isn't in the side at all? So why is ET hooker when we could've moved Reynolds there? We're cooked…

Minor hamstring strain only expected to be out for this week..

I would have put Tui in at 6….

Which would have meant Thompson to fullback, Mahe to the wing, MCK to centre. 4 changes for one injury when we have a 5/8 in the squad.

how…....Lolohea wasn't named...Thompson was already named at FB with MWZ replacing him in the named side...Reynolds OUT Lolohea in would have only be 1 change just as it is now with Gamble... 😕

Huh?
 
Good luck to the young bloke. Making his debut against a side who of late has totally dominated us will make for interesting viewing.
 
Watched Gamble play in the trial game against the cowboys in Cairns
He was kicking high balls with accuracy pre game and looked dangerous running the ball during the game
Attracted defenders during his runs opening up some holes for us to score out wide
I liked what I saw and if he can replicate the way he played he will have a good game
I expect he will give his all in this game

This is you chance Gamble
Take it with both hands and kill it

Yep my bad forgot Tui had been dropped and wasn’t even in the squad to bring in anyway.
 
We don't have many better creative, attack-minded playmakers with a smart kicking game. He just needs to tweak his game to NRL level. That will come with experience.
The little time he saw in the trial was clearly enough to show what he's got . . . let alone his competition games. Benji saw it, and I think he is a fair judge of creativity.
Big, big potential. We need to support him and keep him under lock and key. We wouldn't want another JAC situation now, would we ? It would only take this one game for any club to circle him. Big, strong playmakers are rare and in demand.
Go hard, play well Tyson. here's to a long NRL career with us !

This is pretty much the reality of his debut. He is all potential, serious potential. But he will make mistakes and he is on a sharp learning curve.

Fans, coaching staff and Tyson himself need to be prepared to be patient.

That said I think he will back himself and surprise a few people.
 
Much rather give Gsmble a shot then Tui at 5/8\. Very worrying about Reynolds though. Just seems so injury prone since he has got here. Hope he comes good, but so far we aren’t getting our moneys worth.
 
I like Josh Reynolds as a person but I think he is going to prove a costly mistake.

Hammies and calves for a 28 year old half are not good at all.

Agree 100%

Tui has lost me.

Good luck Gamble.

Hasn’t Reynolds had hammie problems since mid last year. At his age I think their here to stay.
Lolohea is a major disappointment and Benji’s gone off the boil. At this stage we really need Gamble to step up.
Our only other option would be to try Thompson at 5/8 with Thompson at hooker and Thompson at fullback until reinforcements come next year.
 
So people want to reward Tui for playing terribly with giving him a shot in the halves! Please! Cleary has made the right call.

Besides, Tui was names in the 21 so he couldn’t have been chosen after Reynolds injured himself again.

Tui now might have a chance to play in his more suited position in ISP. Hopefully he steps up, or ships out.
 
Wouldn't it be great if Gamble has a brilliant debut and also allows Brooks to take charge (Marshall appears at time to overcall Brooks). Gives IC something to think about.

Also hope Killa shows his worth today which may have an impact on Farah's signature.

A must win game against a team who likes to pull our pants down.
 
Can someone pls tell me who Killa is ?

And why we are persisting with playing a lock forward at 9

Where are our hookers ? Are we any danger of playing a 9 at 9 :deadhorse:
