The Dead Wood needs to go!!!

[Terry Zarsoff]

Sooo, Turbo is injured AGAIN eh! And it wasn’t the knee we thought from last week but a fresh one. Good grief. Nik Kosef anyone?

Tik Tok Turbosef.

Kosef certainly drained a fair wack of salary cap for little return.

Harpo played well and was cheated out of the Captain's Challenge. He didn't lose the ball.
This match was a stitch-up. There is so much gambling money in the sport anybody who thinks there is no corruption is naive.

I agree and I’m done with the game now. We were cheated out of this one and Cummins made sure the Eels got over us.
The game isn’t what it used to be. The six again rule was the worst rule introduced and it’s an easy way for referees to swing possession and change a teams momentum. I’ve deleted all the NRL apps and I’ve unfollowed anything NRL related. The corruption is so obvious. I’m done. Over and out.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

To be fair to Cummins, he hasn’t been the same since he was accidentally kicked in the head by an elephant at Taronga Zoo - you know, on the old elephant ride.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Sling out the deadwood?

Des needs to start actually making some calls on form here. How the f$&@ is Marty picked in this team? He’s dreadful! And keppie is a liability. At least he’ll be suspended more than likely. Those two out and Bulle and sone other prick in.

Ok... sorry I will be the dill and ask... with Paseka out..... just who replaces Keppie and Marty? Bullemor maybe but he offers not much... Sipley offers nothing... the cupboard is bare my friend! Bullemore is no upgrade let me tell you... at best a wash

Sippers was good for the first 20 minutes, but he was never given a second stint which was strange.
The only other credible prop we have in reserves is DeLuxe. He won't let us down and would have helped our defence last night when it was most needed. I'd be more than happy to see him in our top 17.

Ive liked Keppie since he stepped up for us in that Cronulla finals game a few years ago.

But jeez its getting lonely on Keppie island these days. Even i'm looking for a boat out of here.

To me KDL is just a plugger - yes he can tackle but is cannon fodder in attack

Bullymoor has offered alot more at prop. Hes been good recently. Sipley started the game well. Hence why we were dominant with no errors. De Luis stats in the reserves is amazing. Always 150m+ with 40 tackles and usually very few missed. Hes earnt a stint.

Marty knows hes leaving and he doesnt want to get injured. Hes not putting in. That is clear. Keppie needs a stint in reserve grade with Harper. A stint meaning.. 5-6 games. Not just one Des.

Thanks Kaza... I didn't think Sipley was great - he was serviceable - but not great. KDL in my mind is a plodder and Bullwinkle again in my mind is just average and I am not sure he is a middle. I would be happy to give him a go because he can't be much worse than Keppie/Sipley or Marty at the moment and I have been a decent Marty supporter.

I think sipley has the potential to be an out and out starter every week. If he can put in the quality minutes. Played well last night. Should of had another stint. Whether it's because of his fitness levels or not I dunno

Thanks - a few people have said Sipley went well... I need to look at the replay. I didn't notice him much at all but hey I could well be wrong. I saw him have a couple of runs... didn't notice he bent the line or anything but I will go back and have a look. You guys and gals all might have it right and I need better goggles.

He was solid. Nothing spectacular. But that's all you need from your starting props. Tighten up the middle and just tackle, run and compete. He started us off well and set the platform along with aloiai, and we were rolling

Sorry to say keepie (Don't like ) and Haumole ( like ) both can escape bans this week with early guilty pleas

Thanks - I will have another look. Aloiai is all quality - love him in attack and defence.

Olakau'atu faces a two-match ban if he unsuccessfully challenges a grade one crusher tackle but can escape with a $3,000 fine for an early plea, while Keppie will be fined unless he has a grade one dangerous throw charge overturned.
