Round 8 v dragons Anzac Day

[Chook2]

How long have we signed Dom for?

by keeping toia in the team, Robbo has showed his hand for the center pairings, looks like only injuries or some very poor games by marky or Toops could get him a look in again.

how long can we realistically hold a 600k winger in reserve grade?

4 years so 2027 which is a worry

shows you how delusional our recruitment and retention has been in the last 3 years

Then maybe this is the wake up call that he needs, I can’t see Robbo constantly changing the backline, so he’d have to give marky a few shots on the wing as long as his defence holds up.

Correct
atm he is not in our best 17
however he is the next man up for an injury to the backline so he will still get quite a few chances

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Has he self-exiled, or has he been punted?

Either way, I'm not missing him.

Dealing with some family health issues, has been overseas I understand. Hopefully he is back with us soon.

It seems like every year Anzac Day is the game where the team finally wakes up
Let's see if that's true again

Hopefully Dom Young can find form in the lower grades, on his day he is a weapon...at his worst he is Alex Young

[A Country Member]

The biggest gain for the side is Mark’s robustness, especially on kick returns, as he seems to relish the contact.

I wonder if Flanagan and Ilias will kick towards him to test him out and possibly limit the play 2 hit up that are so valuable.

Bennett will take him.

[bondi.boy]

Well done on Robbo for dropping Young. Morris and King have to work on his defensive game. He will be back.

Robbo certainly loves his Butcher boys. I thought Egan could do with a few weeks in reggies just to get fit etc.

Spencer starting ' again' wtf !!

Anyway, as always, all the best to the team. Tackle Tackle Tackle.

Indeed.
Trial, rebuilding year...coach needs to trial everyone in sometimes different positions...to fully assess everyone's ability.
Ability to win games.

As in Jack Gibson's quote, framed and hanging on the wall of an Eel's legend's sports store:

A player can have speed, strength, skill and courage, but the question I ask is: 'Can I win with him?'

Nothing personal against Dom and I hope he gets to a place where he deserves a jersey with us, but this had to happen. I'm glad it was done somewhat quickly. I really don't think he is particularly close to first grade standard at the moment. I think he is decidedly beneath the 4 named in front of him.

Bench is incredibly light. I'd be surprised if Losalu doesn't come in on game day for someone.

Really hope Leniu can get it together. His mistakes never seem from a lack of effort, and I do think he's trying, but he has been out of form for a fair while now. Just need him off the back fence, focusing on catching and controlling the ball, and bowling some unlucky defenders over.

Backline is chock full of limosines this week. Looks good.

IMO B-Smizzle to centre and Mark N to wing will clean things up significantly. Toia and Toops weren't perfect on the weekend but we do just seem to bleed unnecessary points on the edges.

I'd almost give Leniu a spell after last week too. He wasn't great! Hope he fires up...

One would like to think after the diabolical officialdom of last weeks game that it be a fair contest on Anzac Day.
So who is going to have the whistle ?
Turd Smith
The Gee String
Klein the Klown
Surely it can’t be Mutton.

Either or. No one’s losing any sleep.

They don’t have internet overseas?

Hope you are feeling better.

I'm glad I've finished my dinner.
