Personally I don't know why there's a small discussion going on here in regards to LOD vs Kennedy. I think both should be in the 17. It's Frank Paul don't give me the ball that needs a rocket shoved up his backside. He's been absolutely pathetic over the last couple of years and whilst stats don't tell a full story, his alone this year look absolutely pathetic compared to both players in question.

He's like the polynesian Anasta when it comes to hitting the ball up. 39 metres vs the wanko's, 55 vs his bro's and 41 vs the vermin. I cannot for the life of me see why there are some people here that feel he's been good this year. For a bloke his size to be running for 40-50 metres per game is pathetic.

Kennedy has been smashed to death on this forum yet he's playing less minutes than FPN and still running for more metres whilst tackling his arse off. Yes yes I get it, he does run like a powderpuff and does have a tendency to stop at the line, but he has a dig. FPN is lazy and has the Kenny Dowell syndrome. He had one good year right before his contract year (under Smith) where he was thrown out wider at lock and was running over blokes left right and center. Now he's been paid and he's, well, he's "sweet as bro". Give me Lod or Kennedy any day over this lazy fool.

My sentiments exactly!

I don't make a habit of bagging Rooster's players but i'd take SBW, Cordner, Aubbo, Guerra and LOD in the backrow over FPN anyday. And i'd have JWH, Moa, Kennedy and Tasi over him up front. If we were full strength he just wouldn't be in my top 17.

I wouldnt go that far buddy

yeah I suppose ......but he will by next season.

[The Brain]

Tasi has yet to do any thing to get a spot he will need a few weeks to prove him self

[Guest]

Exactly right re: FPN. On form, Guerra LOD and Kennedy have been better than him. Looking at this weeks team, I would bring LOD onto the bench, Cordner to lock, Guerra to start, and drop FPN.

I have a feeling that the only reason we have FPN at lock, is because we are only carrying one prop on the bench we need one of our forwards to slot into the prop rotation later in the game.

[Guest]

LOD was very good against the Warriors. I doubt the guy is going to retire for being dropped for turning up late.

I doubt that being late was the reason LOD was dropped from the team.

[Guest]

I think the lineup will look like this come kick off:

1. Anthony Minichiello (c)
2. Daniel Tupou
3. Michael Jennings
4. Shaun Kenny-Dowall
5. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
6. James Maloney
7. Mitchell Pearce
8. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves
9. Jake Friend
10. Sam Moa
17. Aidan Guerra
12. Sonny Bill Williams
11. Boyd Cordner

14. Daniel Mortimer
15. Martin Kennedy
13. Frank-Paul Nu'uausala (prop rotation)
16. Mitchell Aubusson

KANE EVANS (Roosters)
Kane is a guy I saw play for NSW Under-20s and he really impressed. He hasn’t played first grade yet but I can see him being a superstar of the future. Hopefully he gets an opportunity this year. Kane’s sheer speed for a big man is amazing. I remember watching him in the Under-20s State of Origin game last year when he made a break and left everyone for dead. I have been fortunate enough to get to know Kane through the Australian Fijian association and he is keen to play for Fiji – although I think in the coming years we’re going to see him put on that sky blue jersey for NSW and then Australia if he chooses that way. He is fully capable of it.

Well after this massive wrap from Petero on NRL.com today I hope the Undertaker gets the late call up for Monday night.

[Thirteen]

I thought last week was his best game in awhile and I'm not a massive fan of his. He looked as though he was putting a lot more effort in his hit ups then normal

Maybe he's been reading the forum and knows we all reckon he's way too soft!

[Guest]

Maybe he's been reading the forum and knows we all reckon he's way too soft!

If he is a smart man he would distance himself from this loony asylum

[Guest]

Who wouldn't have got a game anyway.

Tasi is almost ready to go, and Evans and Napa look like they're next cabs off the rank. Do you really want to re hash the argument? If we miss the finals this year, it won't have anything to do with the fact that we moved on those 3 blokes.

The fact of the matter is they will prove at there new clubs that they are very good 1st graders IMO.

The 3 we let go are better players than what LOD is at this stage of his career.

Guerra playing for the Jets today, Evans and Napa are not.

[Guest]

If LOD has been dropped for disciplinary reasons, why isn't he playing for Newtown? Since when do you get a week's holiday for doing the wrong thing??
