Depth tester

So next week is going to be as big a test as we have seem in a long time.

The list of unavailable is growing 

Out already 

Stone

Hipgrave

Smith

Likely to be suspended 

Brown

Matto

Potential rep call ups

RCG

Junior (doesn't deserve to be picked)

Reed (I think/hope he will miss out)

 

So potentially 8 top 30 players 5 certain starters out big test against a team we have a patchy record against.

  • There's no way on earth Brown should be suspended if these clowns are serious . Player virtually turns his back , sits , and give his head a slight move to the right like a chick taking a selfie .   Brown hadn't put an ounce of downward pressure on either of those blokes . 

     

    • I have a really really really bad feeling about all this

  • Both Matto & Brown can play next week - just been announced. 

    • Well that's a relief I thought Matto was odds on to be suspended 

      • they must have him in mind for SOO. Can't see how?!?!

        • I can't see how you could pick Matto he's one of those players who's reputation doesn't match his on field output

  • Junior doesn't deserved to be picked? Serious? He has been unreal all season, had a bad game yesterday and a lines put through his name. First prop picked on previous form

    • In the first 4 games, Paulo broke 13 tackles and made 11 offloads. In the last 8 games, Paulo has broken 8 tackles and made 11 offloads. He makes the occasional good run in a game. I thought Paulo was the best prop in the game early in the year, but now he looks like shit if you compare him to Haas and JFH. All ex-players and others  have him as a certainity for origin, but he has actually played well below his standard of late. Paulo is making very shit first contact of late as well in defence. Even with his offloading gone quite, I have not seen Paulo use his brilliant passing game. 

      • Yep and his line speed against manly was terrible RCG has been our best prop 

  • Matto and Brown are officially cleared to play next round and I'm sure Hipgrave is back this week

"yeah thanks guys, I was surprised, i just don't see him ball playing like a walker, Hopgood, DeBellin, etc. That surprised me. Mind you none are as good as Walker at it, from lock."

"Not a fan at lock, he runs a good line and makes a good mobile prop, but I've never seen him play lock, so who knows?"

"I agree but from my understanding he has only trained at fullback for the past 2 years so not sure if the club are considering to explore his utlity value."
