Round 1 YART

[SeaEagleRock8]

BE reckons King is out, so I'll go:

B Stewart
Gutherson
Lyon
Matai
Hiku
Foran
DCE
Lawrence
Ballin
Hasson
Watmough
Horo
G Stewart
Buhrer
Starling
Lui
Sene-Lefao

 

[The Who]

YES. Quite happy with that YART, although I don;t think Gutherson is up to the standard yet, so I would go with Blair.

 

[Fluffy]

Injury list of Tafue, Williams & King

Stewart
Satini
Lyon
Matai
Hiku
Foran
DCE
Lawrence
Ballin
Starling
Horo
Watmough
Stewart

Buhrer
Hasson
Lui
Sao

 

[BOZO]

2 great teams SER8 and Fluffy

---

YES. Quite happy with that YART, although I don;t think Gutherson is up to the standard yet, so I would go with Blair.

I think Blair will get the job done as well . He looks like a great athlete

 

[HappilyManly]

J O'Neill out for 4 weeks after knee op.
Duffie out for Season with ACL.

So its evening up on the fringes for next week 😉

I believe that Wolfie will be rocking it at Brookie

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Injury list of Tafue, Williams & King

And Tom Symonds

---

YES. Quite happy with that YART, although I don;t think Gutherson is up to the standard yet, so I would go with Blair.

They are both unproven at this level, that is for sure. I went with Gutho because at least he's been a specialist fullback, and whoever gets the role is going to be tested by Cronk bombs all night.

 

[susan]

Cronk wont be playing and Slater is no certianty either.

 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

whoever we're playing, we're going to be copping plenty of bombs to the wings early on this year i reckon.

 

[susan]

I'm a lot happier if Ben Roberts is kicking them as is expected as opposed to Cronk.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

You can bet there will be bombs aplenty if Cronk plays.....@susan where did you get your information that Cronk won't be playing??

It said he would be back for round 1 or 2 yesterday in this:

[Chip and Chase]

I reckon Wolf will be right.

Hiku for Horhay and we are bound to get a couple of debutants on the bench.

 

[double hoops]

I am pretty much in total agreement with Fluffy. Perhaps Senelefao or Hodges as opposed to São( at this stage ) on the bench.

 

[Clint]

I'm with C&C. Wolf will play imo

 

[Killer03]

Any chance of big Jake T on the bench?

 

[HappilyManly]

With the new concussion rule allowing free interchange. Has the NRL increased the bench :huh:

If not, and a Player is forced off to be examined, after all the bench Players are injured/concussed themselves - we could have another administration introduced fiasco with a Team being left short a Player.

It is quite common to have Team mates headclash in a tackle (ie Mauro and Buhrer in 2011), so potentially two Players from the one side, will need to be interchanged at a time. 😎

 

[mickqld]

Jorge, Tommy S definitely out King probably the rest should be fit to play.

1. B Stewart
2. Hiku
3. Lyon
4. Matai
5. Wolf
6. Foran
7. DCE
8. Lawrence
9. Ballin
10. Starling
11. Watmough
12. Horo
13. G Stewart

14. Buhrer
15. Hasson
16. Lui
17. Jake T

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Consensus from ST brains trust so far that Starling, Hasson, and Lui will all be in the 17.
But the final bench spot is between Jake T, Sao, and Sene-Lefao.

 

[mickqld]

Don't think Ligi has come along as well as expected so far. I want to see Jake T given the nod. He won't let anyone down. Reminds me of JWH without the hot headed bulls**t.
