Fitzy - with his utility value is the best bench option next week (god we have some backline injuries)

I think Meaney played his last NRL Game last night for the Tigers…

It's interesting though, he is one of the best in the NSW Cup, so it goes to show how different the 2 comps are and further emphasizes why Sheens rarely brings Cup players through...

**Seriously…What did Meaney do that wrong????**

If it's a choice between him and McKinnon well that is a no brainer for mine....To pick McKinnon given his current situation is stupidiy it will also mean Fitzy on the bench...

If Daniela is back then Brown to fullback but Daniela plays his best footy on the right and Brown can play left....

Sheens...good luck

He did nothing wrong for a Reserve Grader… I'm sure we saw his talents out there on Friday, but he just isnt an NRL Player yet... Ryan and Fitzy are ahead of him as a Fullback and they are 3 & 4th on our pecking order....

It just further emphasises WHY Sheens rarley pickes players from BRET and the Blackbirds. I didnt realise how far apart the State Cup & NRL are. In saying that, I hope Tim sat him down and has told him what he needs to work on next year if he is to considered again....

Ryan is a good finisher and has good dummy half runs but is too slow for a winger, too small for any position and not so good under the high ball.

I would personally go for Latu but I doubt Sheens would want to change the combo between him and Ashyford.
 
1\. Brown
2\. Tuqiri
3\. Ashford
4\. Daniella
5\. Ryan
6\. Marshall
7\. Lui
8\. Payten

11\. Fulton
12\. Ellis
13\. Heighington

14\. Fifita
15\. Gibbs
16\. Dwyer
17\. Fitzy - even though he offered nothing last week.. he is our best option. But, wouldn't it be awesome to see Moltzen named in jumper 17! Big moral boost.

It's a blight on the game at the moment - talent from the 20's just has no structured way to advance through reserve grade to the firsts.

Back to the team.

I'd have Meaney at 1 and Brown at centre. fitzy or daniella on the bench. rest of the side picks itself, depending on who is injured or not
 
1.Mitch Brown
2.Lote Tuqiri
3.Blake Ayshford
4.Geoff Daniela

Ask me Tuesday around 5:30 and I will give you my team via cut & paste.

The Sheens team is my team this week. No complaints even if Fitzy were starting halfback

Happy with the above team even though Ryan is lucky to be in the top side ahead of Latu. If Moors was fit I would have him ahead of Mataka.
 
Been out of the country for a month so from the highlights i have seen & from what i have read i would go

1.Brown
2.Tuqiri
3.Ayshford
4.Daniela
5.Ryan
6.Marshall
7.Lui
8.Payton
9.Farah
10.Galloway
11.Ellis
12.Fulton
13.Heighnington

14.Fafita
15.Gibbs
16.Dwyer
17.Flanagan
 
I hope Brown is defending on the LHS with Lote to shut down SKD. He will be hard to stop and I don't think Daniela is good enough to take on SKD (esp. on his current form). I doubt Meaney can take the pressure in the Finals but I want Brown to remain at left centre.

Whatever it is, I hope Sheensy makes the right choice. I trust him!!

12\. Fulton
13\. Hino

14\. Flanagan
15\. Payten
16\. Mataka
17\. Fifita
 
Just as long as he leaves Ayshford on the right, (If Michael's doesnt get injured the other night we win, once Rodgers moved onto Ayshford he defended him well) not sure if Daniela can play left? If he cant leave Brown there and find a fullback.
 
1\. Mitch Brown (doubt we'll see mckinnon again in 10)
2\. Lote Tuqiri
3\. Blake Ayshford
4\. Geoff Daniella (has been solid in every game hes played, unlucky IMO)

My team as well, possibly changing Flanagan with Mataka to get a "back" on the bench…

This will be the team for the rest of the year barring further injuries…..I hope Lawrence gets back soon tho! 😛ray:
 
Their will be a back on the bench, their always has been and this week will not be any different. The bench will be Fitzy and three others take it as given. McKinnon is no chance at all, so brown to no1 and daniela no4\. Meaney will probably be 18th man.

yeah that side looks fine, but as Supercoach said, Fitzy will be there….. 😕 , sitting on the bench, a wasted spot unless someone get's injured...

It's either that or give Meaney another go at fullback, have Brown at number 5 on Ryan on the bench
