Awesome that Jorge & Marty are back in & Parker's backing up.

 

[Mitch]

Full strength forward line up, that’s where we’ll need to win it.

 

[Clint]

Would like to have seen Suli back.

 

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Does Funa play centre in lower grades?

Pretty much the same as last round with the exceptions of Adam Gee in place of Grant Atkins & Chris Sutton in place of Todd Smith.

Does Funa play centre in lower grades?

Yes

 

[The Who]

The player that has impressed me at Cronulla is Hamlin-Uele. He is a tank and gives the team a momentum boost when he comes on as a replacement. We will need Tent to do the same thing for us, and nullify Hamlin-Uele.

Agreed, Uele is way more dangerous than A Fifita these days. Fifita is a shadow of his former self.

Does Funa play centre in lower grades?

yes that’s his preferred position.

Albert hopoate got to be considered soon

In what position? With Suli back next game and no more injuries, one of this week's backs is going to miss out and none of them deserve to.

the tall fullback who tore his hamstring provides most of our points may be issue here. We got by last year as we had fainu and suli but Levi has the vision of a year 7 high school male student at a dance.

I agree mate. So who misses out so this talented rookie who has never played against men can get his debut?
Do you think he should take Elliot's place at FB, where he filled in admirably for Tom last year? Because that is the only position that would give him enough room to show his talents and is realistically the only spot remotely up for grabs.
I'm interested to see what you would do with him.

Yeah look will see if we can get across stripe my concerns are dce taking full reign and Levi simply has nothing. Once Suli back he gives us a attacking threat. Elliot a great fill in and Funa showed promise but I believe we need more attacking threats with Tom out.

Haha if I knew what I do now I be hugh Hefner.

Can't disagree with any of that. Maybe if Parker and Horhay couldn't play next week and Suli wasn't back he could get a run.

Let's see how we go for a few weeks without Tom. The Frog may surprise...the last time he played 6 we had a no idea coach and he has now had 2 pre-seasons under Des and co.
