SQUAD v EELS

[Carlos Parra]

Your last 2 posts are so contradictory.
First you say Klein will cane us but then you agree with Waylander that he will be kind to us.

Yeah, if it's all in the script. KKKlown will blow whichever way he is told to blow. He won't be impartial. He will either give us a leg up, or cane us as usual.

Just heard Robinson say Walker needs another week in reserves,
but Crighton needs to come straight back in.
We are ready
we put ourselves in this position
it's pretty simple.
it's pretty clear.

well coach......Let's hope so.

I think Walker should be there this week,
and I think Brown should be lock
and Radley 2nd row
an Hutch in reserves.
But that's just my opinion.

Late mail: Coach Trent Robinson said on Thursday that Sam Walker won’t slot into his 17 despite getting through 80 minutes in NSW Cup in his return from an ACL sprain last weekend. Robinson confirmed the halfback will remain as 18th Man, but Angus Crichton (knee) will play his first game since Round 17.

Sensible decision by Coach Robinson

Your definitely going to be right one way or the other.

Oh he'll cane us. Question is whether we'll be good enough to overcome his BS.

I wonder if Walker as 18th man is smoke and mirrors and he comes in late?

Honestly don’t know what the right call is but with season on the line this could decide our season.

It’s harsh on Hutch but I think I’d go all in with Walker. Time will tell.

Wtf does he see in Angus worth rushing him straight in??

Robinson seemed definite that Walker won't play this week.
He also went out of his way to say Sam is our LONG TERM halfback.
Obviously Walker has at least twice the talent as Hutchison at halfback.
If they were both on the open market Walker would probably get 3 times what Hutchison would.
Also obviously Robinson loves Hutchison.. perhaps a bit to much.
In a must win game, it's a huge call.

Yes another massive call, when Brown has played better than anything Angus has offered this year.

Robbo could hold walker back for the rest of the year seeing each game is last chance saloon and as a young fella, he doesn't need to shoulder the pressure of that situation.

From what I've read on here it seems that even if we win all our remaining games, it does not guarantee us a finals spot because of our negative pd.

Hutch has played well enough and it's realistic enough to assume we can win all 3 games with him at half.

Walker shouldn't have to bear the brunt of where we've ended up this season and being a long term future Rooster, they may just "let him cook" instead. (For the remainder and offseason).

There is the opposite stance to take to what I've just said, sure.

Apparently "we are ready"

Robbo is just stalling. Walker is our best half. This just stinks. Robbo has been playing these games all year and I’m just sick and tired of it. Walker is fit and has proven himself.

[QWERTY]

Walker comes back in against the Tigers, probably the best way to bring him back in.

But we need our best goal kicker for these games and if it comes down to a sideline goal Walker has the best chance of anyone Hutch or no Hutch. The team should come first in this do or die scenario. Unless you’re saying we are no chance and Robbo has given up so then forget about trying.
