Its only round 12 so there's plenty of room for them on this wagon later this season. Perhaps Charnze neck got a fair belting

 

[Jaffa J]

Keen to see RTS back in for Pompey and EIT/TSS back in the squad

Just a reminder, the Dragons home record against us is 14 wins to 5 losses.

They are definitely at the bottom of the pile but I really want us to destroy them in the middle and make them break. Would be nice to see a fat donut next to their team name as well.

Yeah they used to be the worst club for us with their game plan to catch lazy Warriors markers out with dummy half running.

They were playing well against the Panthers this week, for a team with such a weak roster they tried hard. I wouldn't take them for granted.

 

[Tokyo Warrior]

I noticed he was getting his nose between tacklers and over the advantage line more often than previous weeks.

I like that he plays for the escort on bombs when he knows he isn't getting there. A little gamesmanship never hurt anyone.

their pack is actually physical and hard working on paper, if we are on our game we will smoke them, my concern is the emotional comedown post magic round and its never comfortable when one side is on a winning streak and the other on a losing one lol

If another knee goes, he will play.

I hope you were touching wood when you typed this!!

Every week we have to earn it. Do that and the points will come. Minimising injury is on my priority list but.

 

[Ryno 2.0]

Expecting some big performances from Laban and TSS off the bench, they will want to get back into things as they haven’t played many minutes in recent rounds.

Also hoping to see some extended minutes for EIT to showcase his skills at this level.

Metcalf not named in Cup

 

[Ref]

The St George pack is very promising and decent enough bench forwards.
However no spark in the halves combo and the way past it Gutho and Holmes restricts them.

 

[WAH MAN]

Metcalf not named in Cup

As well as chucking his toys to sign with St George, he also pulled his hammy

 

[Lance155]

Metcalf not named in Cup

Its got to be on of these 3 things.
- real disharmony from contract fall out
- his headspace is still fucked. Would imagine more so after Boyd goes down he must be thinking what the fuck have I done
- Webby is protecting him from fans booing him and giving time for it to blow over

Nail in the coffin

Strong team. I wouldn't rush RTS in unless he is 100%. We need him next week v Penrith. I want us to crack the half century against this dragons team: Young is taking the piss with Jaydn Sua into the centers. Never want to go after a brother when he is down but young Setu is going to get it from us this week unfortunately. DWZ is in my multi for a hatrick down that side.

Bit of a stunning year for team naming Tuesdays.

Roger in the extended wow.

I guess Webster is going all in on form and winning teams (yeah I know Roger might come in and be spare parts in case he proves fit later in the week, but I don't think you can bank on that anymore).

New Andrew Webster is ruthless.

He's just giving RTS every chance to be fit I think, and if not or there's any doubt hold him back for the Panthers. Pompey was solid but certainly did nothing to displace RTS from left centre.

I agree about Rogers form.

But Webster has to tread very carefully from here onward.

The fellowship of the brotherhood stands on a knife edge after the Metcalf affair and Webster is going to have to manage his players with care.

Pompey did not deserve to miss out this season, but the rise of Ali has pushed him out.

The obvious solution is rotation, let guys hold their jersey while they are winning, yet regularly switch guys out to keep everyone content and working hard.

Pompey actually looks as though he has lost the fervor since being out of first grade, which is not how this next man up system is supposed to work.

It might send everyone a good message if they see someone like Roger having to fight to get back in through cup, just as Metcalf should have all along.

Bloke in a bar said we are the bench mark foreward rotation in the comp - Fish Barnett Ford Clark then you bring on fukcing Demetric Vaumaga
