And on the Dragons interchange bench...
Loko Pacifiki Tonga, age 19, 196cm 121 kg.

We really do need to rebuild with a team of sizeable players.

I’ll be interested to see how we go at the 20-25min mark when we start the first middle rotations. Ideally you drop Lenui back to the pine but his experience will be needed for the firey opening - hopefully he keeps his head.

That means nothing.

team unchanged 1-19 24 hours out. losalu could still be in the 17 but given the ceremony of the day you'd figure it's less likely

[BTRD]

Come on coach mix it up son.

ZDC to start. Watson to 13. Someone to the bench.

2/7 is crap.

We need to win the next 2. Have a bye. And go again.

Come on Mr Robinson, show us how good you are. Go Chooks.

That's a big bopper but when the big unit runs outta puff Connor will strike.

You got a second chance on this forum but it did not take you long to go back to your “idiotic” ways. Give you enough rope, you will soon be banished again.

99% of this forum think you are a buffoon. Crawl back under that rock.

You are a gronk loser.

Don't call people pedophiles or "rock spiders".

And go tell you're children that you are calling people that on an online forum. And explain to them what the term "rock spider" means.

Explain the term to your kids. And that you are calling someone that on an online forum.

They'd be so proud.

Correct.

have you seen the Va'a boys coming through?

Marky is yet to be proven as a right winger.
Dom got blamed for letting in that Panther's try under the posts from a kick, the camera went straight onto him.
He had it covered but the ball hit the left upright low down and rebounded to the right, towards the right upright.
There was no possible way he could've reached the ball.

Marky jumped for a bomb, was beaten in the air by a Panther's player, the ball batted back and a Panther's try resulted.

He has his chance.
He should do what Dom couldn't master...stay on his wing in defence and never let anyone past him on the outside.
Let those inside him suffer the relegation consequences of any tries scored.

Marky mark has better attack thru his strength and great defence

De La Salle Va’a is 200cm and 121kg.

Xavier is 195cm & 114kg.

Size is not everything. We have a prop playing off the bench in Reggies who is 130kgs. He can’t make the run on side & doesn’t always make the 17.

Hopefully they'll be successful.

That was all when we had JWH, Keary, Manu, Suaalii, Sitili, May, Collins, etc

Mr Robinson is a footy coach...not a magician who can, today, turn Toops into a speed machine, Sandon Smith into Keary, Leniu into JWH, Radley into Cordner, Markey into BMoz, Savala into Sam Walker......etc.

I worry that we play well for the first 20 minutes, then fall apart, start making errors...including gifting oppositions tries from short line dropouts.
The Broncos last night did long dropouts to half way, got the Dogs away from their tryline.

If we do short line dropouts...it's now the coach's fault for not banning them.
