Your team v Cowboys

[barnzee]

Liddle has to be ho

I think people are referring to Nu Brown who signed a NSW Cup contract last week. I didn’t see the game but I assume he must’ve killed it. Note this week all NSW cup and development players are now eligible for selection. I reckon Rua might’ve been given a run if he didn’t get injured.

I highly doubt Rua would have been given a run

I highly doubt Rua would have been given a run

Is that because we dont need him or not playing well. What his injury?
I thought he might replace TMac

 

[Cobarcats]

He was ordinary in reserve grade by all reports, why do you suggest this?

Ever who plays second fiddle to Api next year needs to play as much as he can this year, so that would be Simpkin IMO.

 

[Stevec]

Swap Toa and Gildart positions and Nofo in for AJ .Luc back if fit

 

[Terry T.Nuts]

You're having a laugh. Simpkin looked more dangerous in one minute than Liddle had in the previous 80. He actually makes yards from dummy half unlike handbrake Liddle and his passing is far superior. Liddle should be shipped of asap.

Liddle has to be hooker

I think you hit the wrong key and meant - hooked. I don't mind Liddle but Simpkins seems to be playing better atm.

I believe 2022 is a building year for WT.

I feel To'a could be a permanent solution at Centre going forward so I would play him there the rest of 2022. Full back does not seem to be his position.

WT should push hard to sign Dykes as a mid season signing. Surely we have money to blow any Sharks offer plus his pathways to NRL are blocked by Will Kennedy.

Play Gildart or someone else at full back. WT are not going to play finals in 2022.

I would also given Kepaoa a run as the other Centre before AD is back from injury.

Given Kelma and Garner are moving on we should play Seyfarth at Second Row and give one of the Development Second Row players a chance, They are WT future not Kelma and Garner.

Also give one of the development props a go off the bench during the remaining rounds to see what they have.

Cowboys in red hot form and don't think whatever side we put up is going to beat them

I don’t think he would have been ready mate, he broke his ankle must be bad too be ruled out for the season

Young Williams at the Sharks?

It’s a bit early yet to make the changes you are suggesting, but both the Panthers in 2019 and the cowboys in 2021 and could make a case for the sharks in 2020 (although still made the finals) made this call about mid way through the season. Todd has even made comments around his decision to use last year to try out as many of the players in his squad and get a feel for who has and hasn’t got it, get some miles in their legs, get them used to the speed of the game.
We get to the first bye with less than 3 more wins I’d say we would be stupid not to try it out.

Gildart shouldn't ever be put in first grade again most likely the worst English player to play nrl.

Sorry meant to say Will Kennedy (young full back at Sharks)

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Basing this on Mamaulo & Mikaele missing through concussion protocols & needing Peachey as the utility on the bench. Tualagi to be demoted to the bench for some poor errors/misses on Sat. This will be Madge's team.

I would have Peachey in place of Gildart in the centres (with Madden on bench).

Weather forecast in Queensland heavy rain all week, does this favor the tiger's, slow field and I think tiger's have the last game of the Magic round, suncorp will be chopped up ?

 

[Long Term Fan]

Does anyone see Junior Topou debuting this year or still has a lot to learn in State Cup?

Completely agree, he single handedly gives up at least two tries a game. Gildart should be on the bench for KOE not taking up a spot for a youngster, he is poo.

Yes so he can get picked up bye another club next year because Api plays mostly 80 minutes so I doubt Simpkin or Liddle will hang around

maybe towards the end of the year depending on what we have to play for and if there's any injuries in the squad. he had an improved showing in Cup last week but I feel as if he's still got a bit to learn and needs to be a bit more aware of his natural gifts. three year contract means we aren't rushing him and that he's clearly a long term project.

I've got no doubt that it's all between the ears for him, athletically speaking I think he is special. has that touch of class and silk that's only seen in the top echelon of footballers.

During the koe cup game

There was a run which really showed his atheltic ability

Around 5:10 lrft in first half

He runs and palms off about 4 seagle players
