Check www.warriors.co.nz for more info - I'm at work :lol:

Looks like is hammy is still giving him trouble.

 

[JonB_old]

That sucks, I would of liked to of seen Ah Van, has Toddy been playing bartercard cup matches?

 

[Skinny_Ravs82]

Feel for Manu, must be very annoying!

 

[PHANTOM MENACE_old]

I was looking forward to seeing Covell poo his pants with Manu running at him. Byrne a handy replacement who better get involved

 

[KeepingTheFaith_old]

Is Ah Van even available again yet? Byrne will go ok. He'll clean up at the back, defend well, but this season he's lacked the ability to find the tryline like he did so often in 2005. Sometimes he doesn't even look like getting close.

 

[Tajhay_old]

where is cooper

surely he cant be behind todd the turtle

 

[Skinny_Ravs82]

Not even close!

Look I am a big fan of the guy but even his efforts this year ticks me off!

 

[Tajhay_old]

yep and his preseason form was not upto scratch either.....

 

[sebastian_old]

Byrne has lost his his mojo, who knows how, top tryscorer to a nobody, its pretty rare at his age. Surely it must be injury. this is bad news manu is one of our best every week.

 

[MiXmasterreece_old]

would of liked to have seen ah van or vuna, i dont feel that ol skinny is offering us anything naymore with the quality of outside back we have in the ranks.

I fear that if we persist with skinny that the likes of vuna nad ah van may leave and look elsewhere

 

[warriors4life_old]

I'm going to make a bold prediction and say that Byrne is going to have a great game and keep his spot for the following week, but maybe thats too bold.

 

[IanR_old]

Maybe hes been off long enough for the injury to get itself sorted and he can be more than a passenger.

 

[Skinny_Ravs82]

I'm going to make a bold prediction and say that Byrne is going to have a great game and keep his spot for the following week, but maybe thats too bold.

To me, as long as he has a sound game which doesn't include messing up at any point I'll be happy

 

[playdaball_old]

Dear I say it ... Manu is very injury prone. I'm unsure of how many games he has played over the past two seasons vs. games available.

Why?

 

[JonB_old]

Yeah I think Toddy know it is do or die at this stage, we might see the best from him this week.

 

[D Generation X_old]

that sucks

 

[mosh_old]

The only reason could be, that Byrne was going over anyway and that Cleary could not put in Vuna who probably has not trained with the Warriors this week..

 

[Skinny_Ravs82]

What do you mean 'he was already going over'?

 

[mosh_old]

Im sure he would be part of an extended squad that travels over with the 18th man...
Especially since Price never returned from Australia this week, im sure they spent the airfare on Byrne.

 

[Esoj_old]

who knows reallly. but byrne is there now and manu is gone with a hammy injury.

byrne maybe struggling like the whole team is on attack. there is no S jones anymore in the 7 jumper. hopefully byrne can re-discover his form and be over whatever injury he seemed to be carrying.
