[KaZa]

Gutherson not play well enough to be retained?

 

[RL Gronk]

Gutherson not play well enough to be retained?

Has he been named in NYC? Maybe he's going to shadow Brett

 

[Fairy Bower]

They are playing a washed-out game tomorrow at 5.30 pm Leichhardt Oval against competition leaders Cronulla. I understand Chisholm is out, Hiku to 5/8 and Gutherson to fullback.

 

[RL Gronk]

Still a 5 day turn around for one of those guys to back up on Monday.

Tonga did nothing wrong but I was nervous every time the ball went near him.

 

[joeboy]

Sharpening up hiku's ball playing if the snake been out story is true?

 

[Shoe1]

Chisholm played fullback for France, maybe that's why he is out of the makeup game.

[Bradza]

Groom's been dropped from the bench. Darren'll be shattered.

 

[Darren]

He can still make it lol

 

[joeboy]

We have a make up game tonight don't we?

Imagining hiku has been pulled out?

 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

ignore this.. bloody twitter.

 

[Shoe1]

Hiku is playing tonight.. at 5/8
Gagan however has not been named. Gutherson in the #1
Tonga is playing tonight too

C'mon sherlocks, the clue is there regarding our Monday night fullback. Is somebody being rested? Hmmmm

 

[joeboy]

Well that's all very strange.

I would've thought hiku would be pulled immediately.. Gagan is a centre/winger as far as I know, never heard any chat of him being a fullback.

Chisholm always looked likely.. Him or hiku to replace snake.. Don't think my heart could handle horhsy at the back.., plus he is a gun winger.

Anyone seen hiku at 5/8? How are his ball playing skills.

 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Sorry scrap that.. @manlyseaeagles retweeted a @NSWRL post from the Cronulla game for some reason around 15 minutes ago. i just re-read the team sheet they retweeted and it has April 20.
Guessing someone hit RT on the wrong post.

OR its the date on that because its a make up game? confusing much
here it is anyway

[Shoe1]

Well ignore my post too ;0)

 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

ok apparantly it is tonight's team as tweeted by @NSWRL
so back to what i originally said

Gutherson #1
Hiku #6
no Chisholm or Gagan.

 

[Fairy Bower]

Yes, Gutherson is 1, Hiku 6. Chisholm & Gagen injured

 

[jimmyb713]

Gagan has experience at Fullback for the Parramatta 20's. That's the position he was playing when we signed him. I wouldn't have thought he would get the nod there over Hiku though, who has first grade experience now as well as being the reserve grade fullback.

 

[Fairy Bower]

We lost 32-4. More injuries; Seage and Tonga went off in the first half. We will have to start trawling the local A grade comp for players this week. Under the circumstances it was a great effort by the players tonight who competed well for the most part.
