General Ruben - goorrrne

[Iafeta_old]

600 points at the judiciary for dropping the knees.

I suspect he'll have some carry over points to add to that.

Might get 2-3 games out of him by year's end perhaps now.

 

[Skinny_Ravs82]

Damn! That's not good

Two tries and then suspended...the highs and lows of rugby league.

Yeah to true. We might have to do it without wiki and pricey this week!!!!!
Full confidence in the boys though.

 

[Iafeta_old]

Gee's thats let the team down in my book - 6 + weeks when you're the second highest player... not good.

 

[Skinny_Ravs82]

Does anyone remembering seeing when he did it? and to who?

 

[JonB_old]

No Price because of orgin, no Wiki. Who starts in the number jersey and who leads the boys?

To be honest this is my dream come true

Bring on the new boys!

 

[Iafeta_old]

Captain-Guttenbeil.

Starting props looking a bit thin, Evarn Tuimavave certainty, Micheal Luck I suspect.

George Tuakara to debut off the bench, perhaps Sonny Fai onto the bench too.

That's a very good question, I think Awen might get the captaincy while both are away and while Evarn will get one of the prop positions I'm not sure who the other one will go to.

now our seasons really fucked.

that summed everything up for me

 

[Wiki_old]

Naw its not.

Bring on Rapira and Fai.

Don't bring in big George. Although I would love to see him get a run we need to start building for next season and what better way than to start this week.

the season has been like that for awhile now.

this is a good opportunity to hand out some debuts.

it would be a huge step up for rapira to be starting prop for the warriors. it would be interesting to see who cleary asks to come aboard. i would love to finally see sonny fai have his go.

its good for us to play against an understrength roosters team

 

[Iafeta_old]

commonsense, exactly right.

The club can go one of two ways

Fold, and accept it is a negative

Or use it as a positive - a positive to build up new players, a positive for players to assert themselves, a positive for new leaders to become apparent.

The players coming in will bring enthusiasm. And for one, I'm genuinely excited by Evarn Tuimavave getting a start. The man deserves it more than any other young prop in the comp in my book.

 

[Sinbad_old]

This will be a good test for Ivan the Terrible. Now we will see how bigs his balls are. Some real big ballsy decisions coming up folks.

Don't be surprised to see a bolter in the side this week.

 

[kiwi man_old]

now with this bad news of rubes being ruled out il go for this team:
1.B. Webb
2.M. Vatuvei/M. Taulapapa/C. Vuna
3.T. Martin
4.S. Mannering
5.P. Ah Van
6.L. Hohaia
7.G. Rovelli
8.M. Luck
9.N. Fien
10.E. Tuimivave
11.A. Guttenbeil (C)
12.W. Koopu
13.S. Faumuina

14.G. Gatis
15.S. Rapira
16.G. Tuakura
17.L. Anderson
18.S. Fai

I dont like the look of luck at prop but we dont have anyone else as rapira and george are definately not up to starting. rapira will definately come onto the bench this week but im unsure of who will partner him, wheter we go for fai and anderson or the inclusion of big george. i guess we have to wait til tomorrow

 

[Northern_Union]

Hears a question i think is of interest.

Can anyone remember when Ruben was last in a fist fight?

 

[Iafeta_old]

Yes, IIRC it was in What Becomes of the Broken Hearted.
