WENTY - PRITCHARD & GOWER IN, BUT NO HOFFMAN

Good luck to Cayless and the boys tomorrow with a tough game against the Warriors who are running 2nd.  As Wenty is running 8th and only one point in front of 9th this is an important game for us.  I'm very happy to see Gower and Pritchard playing as they need the match fitness, particularly big Frank.  What is very, very disappointing is Hoffman is not listed to play even though he has been cleared to return and has been listed for the previous two games on the extended bench for the NRL.  After last nights game we need Hoffman back in the top team and this game would have been good for him to get some much needed game fitness.  It think not playing Hoffman is very poor management from the club and the wrong move!

  • I cant belive it Gower and Pritchard be name on the bench

    • They will both start unless BA is seriously looking at the three young backrowers for the NRL next weekend.  It would not surprise me if a couple of senior guys are dropped from first grade. 

  • No Willis Meehan either thought he might get some more game time.
  • Could Meehan have an issue travelling overseas due to past history

    Manu Mau had that problem for a couple of years while in NZ, not sure if this impacts Meehan
    • Not that I am aware of.  "Generally" visa issues only related to people that have had 12 months or more imprisonment and Willis had not had anything more serious then a good behaviour bond.  He did have some community service work to complete and that may have restricted him from leaving the State? 

      It doesn't surprise me the club hasn't given us an update with Willis or even listed Willis as a Parra player on the website as they haven't listed O'Brien injured for the past 10 weeks. 

    • Manu had visa issues because he was sentenced to gaol for 3 years.  Willis hasn't gone to gaol. 

  • I received a message from someone who said Meehan was down with a bad case of the flu earlier this week, appears that is the reason for the non selection. Hopefully there is more real info around
  • For those who are interested, Wenty's game will be televised Live on Fox tomorrow at 11:30am AEST.

"Thanks KN/ EA. Just checking my gut feeling. Hopefully, he stays & makes good on his potential. I like his upside: footy nous, big body, kicking game, goal-kicker. Ain't many sixes offering all that. He's called by many in RU as a "Sua'ali'i clone…"
