Foundation Cup team lists

As bad has mini has become these days, he will never be a pussy. Molten is a pussy. And a sook. And hopeless.

Yep MOLTEN sure is a pussy. On the other hand Moltzen is going to have a good year this year whilst there is competition for his jersey.

It looks like it will be Friend for 80 minutes or dropping one of Aubusson/FPN/Moa/Guerra if we are assuming JWH, Kennedy, SBW, Cordner, LOD will be picked. Once Tasi returns there'll be massive competition.

Time for Aubs and FPN to pick up their game.

There is a pic on twitter of Kennedy and JWH at training. He looked fit to me.

its very important for dummy halfs to work on combinations with his 6/7 and front rowers, highly doubt Seluini would be working on match fitness at Newtown if Robbo was serious about using him early in the season.
just noticed that Liu has been named in both teams, I wonder if there has been a training mishap with Kennedy today that hasn't been leaked yet.

Fletch,
From what i could gauge last Sat night, Marty got up wanting to go on for the last 15-20min but after discussions with Dr Orchard
he sat back down and didn't go back on. Unsure why or the nature of any injury........i suspect concussion. Just want MK firing
and ready for RD1.

Thanks Gman. Would have thought that some of the Newtown boys like Ailaomai and Seluini might have gotten a run in both games but I can't see that happening now. Bit of a shame, was looking forward to watching guys like Wells and Houma with a little more game time.

Issac Liu was named for both Newtown and us...


Will it be a 3:15 pm kick off at Leichhardt ?

Thanks Dubai for providing this update.
The officials must have changed their minds late today. Apologies for the bum steer

That back-row of Braith Anasta, Adam Blair and Bodene Thompson looks particularly weak. I know Mick Potter has insisted that they concentrate on their defence but their pack isn’t as formidable or one that screams high work rate. I can see some of our forwards getting some easy metres. Its still a trial though so i expect alot of changes especially given the seven man bench named by the Magpies.

Their backline is still their strongest point, I think Marika Koroibote has the potential to be anything on the wing.

I think we match up well against the Tigers and if its going to be an open style game i believe we have the forwards and defence to do them over.

Again its only a trial – I still want the W though.

Yerh our concern as well
