Your team vs Warriors

[innsaneink]

Luke Laulilii to 20s please. That's where he should be developing. Kid has so many head knocks already, it's obvious that he's not physically ready for NRL yet.

Concussions aren't a factor in not being ready or not up to NRL standard.
He's shown he's 1st grade capable...how can he prepare better or "get ready" in the event of more head knocks,.?
I don't think anyone even knows what happened his last one he just disappeared for weeks and no word from the club

I’m a retired railway worker mate,
So first thing I checked was both your required lines are open (no track work) Thank goodness 😅 You can stay on the train you get on at Newtown and it will go around circular quay and head out to Campbelltown
Takes around 70-80 minutes
Get on one of the rear carriages as it’s near the exit at Leumeah station.

Mate, you are a legend. Thank you. Will do.

Given the news that Skelton’s injury is minor and Fainu is good to go, I’d go Staines for Skelton.

 

[JC99]

Same 17, if you want to rest Skelton a week you throw Staines in. He's not the most talented but he'll work plenty hard

Keep the same team. If Skelton goes down, Doueihi hits the wing again and Bird into centre. Plan A same and Plan B same.

The Injury report had Naden back from round 5 or 6 so he is not going to be an option

Luke Laulili is available this week based off Moussa's video but agree he would be better served playing KOE or Flegg

Staines has pace and experience we can use

If Stains plays, now that we have an improved team maybe they can finally get him into some open space, can't remember the last time we used his speed just a waste.

Nahhh, he's no natural winger. Isn't good enough at yardage or fast enough. He's been doing good at centre and Bird is too vital as a 13 for us.

I dont mind Faatape attack wise at least but surely a winger for a winger is the least disruption...If we did say Satines for Skelton thats only one change

Douehi to wing and faatape to center is two

Im thinking Staines will go straight to the wing will be Benjis move...They say Luke L is right to go now but i dont think hes had a run yet even in reggies

Actually now there is an idea...

Faataape on the wing, AD stays in Center. 1 disruption and you have Faataape who actually held his line.

Can anyone tell me why Staines is on the outer?
We just don't need him and are thinking Lauliki or something?

".how can he prepare better or "get ready" in the event of more head knocks,.?"

Either wear head gear or NOT PLAY.

Altzheimers Sucks. It really sucks.
Seriously I would almost rather be dead. It's horrible.

Acquired Brain damage almost as bad. They can go agro and bash their families.... Yep would rather be dead then bash my family.


I love Liam Fulton and what he has done for our club. But never again. If a player is regularly getting Concussed, they need to be retired. I love this game but Farout some things are too evil to unleash on this world.

 

[BAGNF05]

This week, something to ponder is that we have beaten 2 teams with new rookie coaches and those teams have both gone 0-3 to start the season.

Discuss...

Makes a win against an in form Wahs team even more important for credibility and retention of key players.

Gee I don’t know what u see in him , has hands like feet , yes runs hard but I just can’t warm to him

Dylan Edwards had handling issues in his early career. But he’s as tough as teak. LL showed me he had no fear in the few games I’ve seen.

Where'd you hear about skelton mate?
Great news

Skelton is out according to zero tackle , hamstring

Is teak a strong wood?

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

I’d go Staines but I’ve only ever seen him play on the right. Seen Turuva play both sides so I wonder if they swap Turuva to left and Staines to right? Naden being injured is a shame as I think he would be our second best left winger. Oh well, should still have enough to beat the Warriors.

Would do everything to keep Bird on the bench as much as possible. Very few players in the comp can play 13, backrow and centre to the level that he can, giving us really strong cover in case of injuries during a match.

Very lucky Samuela seems good to go. Criminal we haven’t signed another back rower IMO. Surely there’s someone in NSW Cup we can sign that’s a better option than Sukkar or Porter…

 

[orange&black]

Same team if at all possible- Staines in for Skelton is the only change.
Keen to see if we can take the next step up and win 3 in a row. In the past when we had an opportunity in a winnable scenario we have always let ourselves down.

 

[Glenji95]

Ideally would want an unchanged lineup, but if Skelton is out Staines most likely in.

 

[tig_prmz]

I hope they have specific goals in this game.

Things to maintain:
- the strength through the middle in attack
- scrambling and goal line defence

Things to improve:
- R edge defence
- last tackle options (Luai/Galvin)
- threaten to score each play in opp 20 (spine)

Leaving Thursday for holiday in Japan,
Just checked the Draw to see what game I will miss next week and of cause we play the Broncos on a 6 Day turnaround up in Brisbane.
Surprise Surprise the Broncos get 8 days to prepare for a home game.
The Wife (they who must be obeyed) doesn’t like me checking scores while away.
I am hoping when I return that the defence is still going strong and reducing the opposition from putting a big score on us.
Slow improvements & consistency 🤞
