So Metcalf, SJ, Pompey and Halasima are inbound so that is good news. Youse might get what youse want

All three teams are playing in Sydney this weekend.

If Metcalf isn’t in there come game day I’m not watching

Looks like Kosi has been made the scapegoat.

j/k. Should never be selected in first grade again. It would be nice if the coaching staff finally get it through their heads.

 

[Dlenai]

Good to see Montoya back, better defensive edge

 

[kos]

Wrighty
Ain’t going to be pleased about the fella named at six
Wonder where Bunty s going next year
Sat on the bench at Suncorp number 19
Plays golf with Sam Walker and Capewell
I thought Jazz was nothing special last week
But Jazz gets the spot , Bunty left right out again.

I have a strange feeling that Capewell gets homesick and resigns back with broncos.

They realise his missing value and leadership and he happily goes home with Sam Walker signing as their long term 7.

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Manly 13+

 

[run_it_str8_again]

Manly 13+

Have to agree until an hour before kick off when I pick us by 8

That backline is so slow.

 

[Riz]

That backline is so slow.

You expected something different?

 

[Jonesy69]

That backline is so slow.

Other than giving Pasikala a debut, there’s not much to select from.

 

[jonesy101]

The frustrating thing about that lineup now that its all over is if we bring Metcalf in and had all the others been available as well it probably would have got us across the line against the Raiders, Eels and Dolphins.

Metcalf would help. MGT/Setu Tu/Sio Kali or a kid serving at McDonalds instead of Montoya. TBH all of them would likely make better decisions than him. Can't do much about Pompey as he kicks unless Metcalf comes in.

 

[Roadrunner]

Yea well looking at the table if Rabbits beat Tigers this weekend we end up 15th which is a pretty sad state for us.Time to start bringing in one's that want to turn us around for nxt year.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

That backline is so slow.

Catch cry of the year isn't it?

It would be just papering over the cracks in the squad. Sometimes its better to get the full wound cut open rather than just the papercut. Papercuts you ignore as itll just heal in time by itself. Anyway whats the point of making the top 8 just to be cannon fodder. IMO if you have no chance of beating teams in the top 4, you dont deserve to be in the playoffs.

And we by all accounts are nowhere near beating anything remote to a top 4 team.

Someone mentioned bloodbath earlier in another thread.

The pattern with SJ at 7 has been there since the dragons game and I can't see it changing this week. Add in the short turn around, injuries, more changes to the team, the venue and our season over.

We will do well to keep the margin down to a couple of tries difference I think. Unfortunately I feel this will be a blow out and we will be lucky to score 14.

New left edge with Pompey and Montoya with Capewell and rumoured to be Metcalf will have a busy night up against Saab, Garrick, Olakau'atu and DCE.

The other edge is a bit easier but with DWZ and RTS next to each other who knows, and Turbo linking in that side with Brooks will create problems.

I hope Metcalf gets a run, goes well and we don't break him third game back.

Highlight of the night will be a photo at the end with DCE and SJ standing next to each other.
