Next Weeks Side

[The better Robbo]

Walker offered nothing today, he was crap! His future is at best as a reserve. His first touches was below Blacktown standard, NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

Jetski - who are you going to drop - are you serious?

Bad enough that JT is back and they will drop Burbo? Understand but what a shame they can't drop someone else.

Walker has done well the last 2 weeks and linking well in the middle. He has played a lot of games at 5/8 for us so it only makes sense to play him there for a week. I like him as our 14 but during origin he would be the obvious selection if Schuster is still out.
Jetski is another one of these players like Croker, Parker etc that everyone bags the hell out of but he's really not that bad. He misses the occasional tackle and has an occasional error but he's nowhere near as bad as people say. People are judging him on his performances during last year and the start of this year when we were getting pumped...
I also didn't say I would pick him, I said I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a gig.... over to DES!

 

[The Royal Soup]

Foz to 7
Walker to 6
Garrick to 1
Bring in Cust and Funa to wing.
Gosiewski a chance to be back too. I wouldn't be surprised to see him jag a bunch spot.

Hope not, he is the missed tackle king

 

[QueefRichards]

Didn't see much of Walker today besides the hospital pass to Marty. (which should've been a penalty to us for getting tackled before catching the ball...) I certainly wouldn't drop him for it.

I feel Gosiewski/Suli is also a key reason why we were getting pumped. Exposed Walker's limited defensive abilities at fullback because teams just broke the line there so often

 

[Frogz]

I can't pick Suli on the wing. He's positional play is non existent

I cant pick Suli.

Not sure walker will be playing that role once jake returns, last week he was great but today i was also unimpressed. He's a center so im not sure what dessy will do with him

 

[Sheikheagle]

It’s hard to be critical of anyone after such a comprehensive win but Walkers defence is a huge worry. He was arm grabbing a lot tonight and against the Drizzle he would be a huge liability. I like his value as a 14 utility however any thoughts about putting him back to centre should be put to bed.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

If Josh Schuster is not back for next game I'd go with this

1. Garrick
6. Croker
7. Foran
9. Lawton

 

[Will on the hill]

If Shoe is fit
Foz to right half
Shoe to left half
Walker to left centre
Parker to left wing
Garrick to fullback
Cust to bench utility

If Shoe isn't fit
Walker to right half
Suli to left centre
Parker to left wing
Garrick to fullback
Cust to bench utility

 

[maxta]

I reckon Walker is and will add a bit off the bench, but agree was a bit off today in a big win....his pass to Kapow was a shocker and in general, didn't seem to find his flow....still a handy footy player, but with at least 3 players who are certainly in the 17 to come back, is a chance of not making the team unless improves a fair bit.

 

[Kalvin]

Schuster is available.... his mum told me.

I'm sure someone said last week they spoke to him & he said he was available for dogs game.
Surely if he isn't picked then something is going on behind the scenes (unless Des is just choosing to rest him for the back half as he's still young)?

We have schuster, Jake and aloia to come back in. So the way I see it De Luis and Sipley (unfortunately) drop out and Lawton takes the utility role off Walker. It’s a good problem to have.

Don't know what game you were watching? Walker was our worst player today by light years. Also I might change my opinion of Jetski if he learns to pass the football.

I think he will play 6 if Schuster is out.. croker has been great a 9 and lawton in the 2nd row. Walker moving to 6 is the least disruptive move imo

 

[Jethro]

Schuster is available.... his mum told me.

Has she told Des?

Des says that he will be back after the Canberra game at the 7:04 point of the following interview:

Coach Media: Des Hasler

Hear what Sea Eagles Coach Des Hasler had to say today ahead of tomorrow’s clash against the Bulldogs at Bankwest Stadium.

www.seaeagles.com.au

He also said at the 6:47 point that Jake will be available for he Canberra game if he is not picked for the Origin 3 game.

 

[court83]

Got a feeling we may have DCE available..
Captained Qld to a series loss with 76-6 points diff.
I love the bloke but seems Qld fans and media Want his head for this.. poor bloke most likely will be the scapegoat. Can't see him playing rep again (Cleary will take his Aus 7 if not injured)

Cherry will finally have some class around him come SOO3. Ponga being the biggest inclusion. Then you’ve got AJ Brimson back after a cracking game against the Raiders today. Reed Mahoney will be available. And pretty boy Reece Walsh, is a 50/50 chance . Cleary and Luai are out for the Blues.Massive loss.
‘With some decent class around him(Cherry), I wouldn’t be surprised if he leads the Maroons to either a win, or at least a close contest.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Kieran Foran to captain Manly next week? Would that be a first?
If it happens I think he'll do a great job.
