So that sucks, I wonder where that leaves Momirovski for round 1 selection, will Madge pick him, Benji at 6 and Robbie at 9, bloody hell

What's the chances of Musgrove playing by April?

 

[Silentio]

Kiwi. Has been around lower grades for a few years.

Ball runner with good footwork and speed.

Should ease the pressure on Gamble.

 

[hammertime]

Has Rowdy already had a broken jaw before or am I thinking of someone else?

 

[prattenparkchild]

Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!! Footy starts. How the heck did Lawrence break his jaw at training?

 

[earl]

This is bad.

 

[Fraze23]

Unfortunate for Rowdy. Hopefully it isn't a bad break.

On paper we still look pretty light in the forwards. It'll be a huge test up against a massive Warriors pack.

Lets not worry too much about how light we look .. they game will be a lot faster this season with a whole lot of attacking plays .. if your forwards can't move around the paddock too well they will get found out quickly .. !! We have some very mobile forwards in MCK, Twal, Garner, Matterson, Taylor and hopefully McQueens fitness and confidence is much better this season.

 

[The-moP]

Hey quick one .. I keep reading that Isaac Luke is still at the Warriors .. I thought he signed and moved to Parra .. ??, but he is still listed in their teams list on the their website .. ?? And I see 'Tiger' Todd Payton is part of the Warriors coach team.

No he hasn't signed with Parra yet. He reportedly has a get out clause from the Warriors if he gets a better offer so his manager is probably in negotiations with Parra trying to gouge as many dollars and years as he can…given it's Parra he's probably after a 3 year $1.8 million deal or something and expecting them to give it to him.

How on earth does one get a "so badly smashed jaw" at training?

 

[AL The Tiger]

No run of luck at all with Lawrence

 

[The_Patriot]

@Tiger_Steve…it’s a trial…

Momirovski not named anywhere…:dizzy_face:

Why you got to post like that, if you know the guy is injured just tell us.

 

[The_Patriot]

Massive kick in the pants for Josh Aloiai.

Keen to see if he has any fight, its do or die for him this year.

 

[Danny Blanco]

Huge opportunity 4 Garner…
Left 2 right passes/D with Brooks...
Lines. Look forward to him excelling.

 

[maxxy86]

Really bad luck for C Lawrence but I really don’t want E Taylor starting either…..We need some go forward in the forwards.

 

[TIGER]

We need a 13, i don't want ET anywhere near the 17 he provides zero.

The thing that worries me is Benji, Robbie and ET are going to be on very tired old legs as the season goes on.
Add Rochow, Eiso, and the Packerlino plodders and we grind to a plod.

Hopefully a few of these newer forwards really go on.
You look at a pack like the Broncos and they have big explosive damaging young blokes who look ready to rip, you look at us and well nobody is afraid of tackling or being tackled by ET.

Watch the footage last year of what Ponga did to ET and if thats not a sign of someone who is past it i don't know what is (yes i know Ponga is a freak and it wont be the last time he does that to someone) but that attempt says to me the game has passed you by.

 

[Masterton]

You might not like him, but to say he provides nothing is plain wrong. I reckon Madge will pick him.
