Team list is out and...

[Cliffymagic]

Its the perfect time to blood a juinor. Playing a weakened team. Should of happened last week. Fmd. Im still tipping manly this week but could be last time considering our upcoming games.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Did we expect anything different !!!

 

[Cliffymagic]

No, not this week. This week is last chance saloon.

True. A bit of experience should help. Hoping lewis rises to the occasion.

The club just issued a statement on the breach notices - 4 players, $1,500 each and the matter is OVER.

So officially no excuses this weekend...

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

No, not this week. This week is last chance saloon.

The ONLY way I can look at this is that Barrett has given the current team ( Wright in for Parker and Poo on the bench in place) a last chance at redemption.

If they lose this week and the same team gets picked next week then I’m going to have to join the chorus, as next week followed by what would be four losses in a row to not change the team is tantamount to tossing in the towel.

But, they have not lost four yet, so let’s see!!

I am sure some can enlighten me however , with 21 players available, apart from Jacko I am not sure there is much he could do

If three guys are out for the season and Lussick is gone and we had 3 empty spots to begin with - why isn't anyone getting moved up? We were under the cap BEFORE Lussick left so I don't get why we are so short

Eight dollars for the wooden spoon and have been beaten easy by the two teams below the eight dollar mark "Parra and the Titans".

We lose this weekend and we will be the bookies red hot favourites to take out our first spoon!

Yeah, his customary 10 minutes on the pitch should break the game wide open.

Knights 2.40. Get on it.

Serious? We are favourites 3rd week in a row? FMD!!!, what are the bookies on?

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Interesting that Lloyd Perrett is also named starting prop for Blacktown this week
And Winterstein not named for Blacktown

Good! Hopefully he gets dropped.

All I can think is they are waiting for the cap to be sorted rather than being stuck with anyone bargain basement etc

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I thought you'd join the glass half full brigade?

I didn’t say I was betting on that just saying they’ll have us as red hot favourites for it.

For me personally , no way , we’ll probably have a tough year but win enough games to finish in front of 16th!!

I think that it truly is alarming that the first thought is to back to players who are solid and pretty much past it rather than new and more talented options that are not growing or developing at Blacktown.

Doing the same thing over and over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of INSANITY!!

Prestige roofing sponsoring the tent! I like it. But Lachlan croker project station(art)?

Maybe Barrett is just as frustrated as us with not having access to lower grade players. Maybe the NRL isn't approving anything until the salary cap issue is finalised.
We can't condemn his actions until we know what he's got to work with.

That is our entire available squad right bar Funa and the exiled Hastings??
