I don't believe what Des said in the presser, his left eye twitched like someone had squirted lemon juice in it when he claimed Tom is at least 2 weeks away. I'm putting my dollar down on Tom named in the reserves.

 

[ALinda]

After just seeing the Injury Update by the Physio, imho AFB will be back this week, earlier than expected (@manlyfan76). If Tom's only 95% healed, I'll be very surprised if he's available this week - but won't complain if he is! If not, I really hope Garrick doesn't play FB. Great news Cust's OK 🙂

A whole dollar?

 

[Will on the hill]

A whole dollar?

It's a hypothetical dollar, all I got.

 

[The better Robbo]

I will say this very diplomatically .... anybody who has watched Funa under the high ball .... and who things he will be a good option at fullback .... IS FUKKEN MAD!

Kid can play football ... but is a rabbit in the head lights under the ball ...

Yep he is an out n out centre!

 

[The better Robbo]

I actually thought Garrick went ok at fullback last week. Had a few nice little inside plays with Chez and he will only improve with more time there. I watched the game again and yeah he made a couple of errors but he actually looked quite good

I agree that he looked better than he had previously but still looks nervous. I think he lacks confidence in his ability more than anything else.

Anyone remember this lad from the 9s. May be too quick to picked in our side https://t.co/l12siHWjGv

If turbo isnt named it better be Metcalf or Hoppa at fb or the bunnies will cut us to shreds.

 

[NYEagle]

Can you believe this ? How unlucky are we with injuries

Not only unlucky with injuries you had Proctor sent off for a non-bite that killed a game that Gold Coast were on top of against Cronulla, and then Feldt misses 3 goals and get penalised at crucial times that were the difference for Souths to beat Nth Qld (who were 6 minutes ahead with about 3 minutes to go FFS).
Can't make that stuff up.
This is just the season to forget, honestly.

does anyone care?

But, sack Suli and replace him with Funa.

Rest looks good, but who plays backup hooker?

I'm not happy with Suli either, but his replacement is daylight.

[Mataiforever]

The only change I would make is Metcalf or Hopoate to fullback !!!!

hopefully Cust is fit because Crocker is terrible !!!

if hasler doesn’t put Metcalf or hopoate to fullback I’ll be fuming

Hopoate is at the warriors mate

 

[40 years an eagle]

Hopoate is at the warriors mate

As stated many times...he can be recalled at any time we choose. It's up to Des.

 

[Brooke]

I just dont like the fact that he has been playing terribly but is yet to be dropped... actually he probably isnt playing TERRIBLY - He just doesnt present any threat in attack...

are we that resigned to failure that we dont even try Miski, Harper, Hoppa etc... same with Garrick... DCE can kick goals so I dont get why he is still there...

Funa is also a great goal kicker ; just sayin.

Funa is also a great goal kicker ; just sayin.

His Canterbury Cup goal kicking success is around 55%. 3 years 50%, 55%, 60%.

How could you forget him, with speed like that to burn?

 

[Hibyemama]

Turbo will be back next week. Everything will improve, especially our defence with him covering the wingers after coming in if they need to and barking orders like he has been trained by the best (Snake).

Unfortunately, he is only 95% recovered on his scan.
