I was thinking about Buhrer at 6 but not sure he has a kicking game....with Foran and DCE both going I think it's imperative we buy two specialist halves. Problem is the halves market looks pretty bleak for 2016.Better still name Buhrer at 6.
Symonds to 12
LUI 13
JSL to bench
Exactly. He was fantastic, and certainly rolled back the clock with his effort tonight. He is great for us - passionate and big. He may not be able to do that every week, but at least we know it's still in him and he really wants to have a red hot go.
So long as the 2/5 is against dud teams. We need him to shape up in the big encounters.If Mason can play like that in 3/5 games he will be an awesum buy for us.
Willie Mason 34 years of age and still going strong . He started his career in the top grade for the dogs at 19 years of age the same age as Parra's Tepai Moeroa . Jake Trbojevic at 21 is another of those quality players and should not be wasted in NSW cup IMO
Do you really believe that Jesse is a better player than Symonds ?Couldn't agree more Bozo.
Turbo's quality is so obvious, it reminds me of seeing Beaver make his debut. You just knew he was going to be something special.
I don't know if I'd be starting Jake yet, but he's be on my bench, even if everyone was available.
As for Willie, I don't think Tooves ever intended for him to start. BJ (for now) and Starling should get that job. And he'll be even more effective off the bench.
I'd go with,
8. BJ
9. Ballin
10. Starling
11. Mateo
12. Ferris
13. Lui
14. Jake
15. Willie
16. Jesse
17. Burgess
Damn....left out Leary. Can we have an extra ?
I think he will be. Tommy offers a more balanced game than Jesse at the moment but two different types of player. Tommy is a 5/8 come centre come second rower where Jesse is a forward / second rower.Do you really believe that Jesse is a better player than Symonds ?
Do you really believe that Jesse is a better player than Symonds ?
Its not all about how hard we run its about what impact we have on the line and Jesse as willing as he is just does not bend the line more mine and also Symonds is a more skilful player IMOT-Red's a great player.
But I can't leave a guy that runs as hard as Jesse out of my 17. The fact Buhrer can play in the backs in an emergency helps me feel ok without Tommy there.
Not a bad problem to have though.
He was brilliant, have noticed that a lot of the people that were dropping the slipper into Mason and the other new buys last week have been a bit quiet today
