Every week without Mitchell as starting hooker is a failure.

Drop Arona, move Bosden to lock and shift Friend to the bench.

[Guest]

^^^^^Thanx for that mate,,,,,so im guessing his 50/50 for this weekend

[Guest]

Mitchell HAS to play. 4 forwards on the bench offers little value as the 4th forward gets bugger all game time.

Good to see Cordner back.

[Guest]

I thought our game plan was on the money last week for the Dragons. Obviously missed out on the result. The Dragons really struggled with our pack and the high rotation. The Knights don't have a great pack, so I'm comfortable with playing four forwards on the bench.

Therefore its Friend vs Mitchel for 80 minutes - at this point in time I would take Friend.

No argument there - I'll also add Mortimer as starting 5/8th.

It won't happen while Anasta is at the club.
People need to realise this and get over it.
Anyway, why the push for Mortimer?
Has he suddenly become some superstar player??

[Guest]

Why would the coach change the team from last week when we had our best team performance of the year even though we lost...i think this week will pay off this time

No but he's infinitely better than Anasta.

But then an overweight, unfit 39 year old who's never played professional league would probably do a better job.

No he hasn't. However the results when Mortimer plays speak for themselves. Anasta is no good, doesn't give a rats backside and the team plays a lot better with him not there.

Also - Mortimer may well be here next year and for mine I would be playing him at 5/8th for the rest of the year. Furthermore, Anasta can f**k off to Wests immediately, we still get to play them twice this year which may be the difference to the Roosters making the 8 this year, as I'm sure with that pretentious golf loving money hungry cap thieving burglar playing for them that would almost guarantee us 4 points.
