Maybe taking the heat of langi by not naming him

yet they wanted to put the heat on napa?

mate if there is one thing ive learnt about robbo this year is that he sticks with the team he names.
barring JWH's suspension, the only times I can remember a late change to the team are when Oldfield replaced an injured Tupou and last week when Moa was a late inclusion.

Maubs is a roadblock on the left edge the only ball Jennings ever receives is when Maloney cuts out Maubs

very happy to see Napa get a run, however a little disappointed that it is likely to mean Evans/Langi will now be unable to play first grade this year due to second tier salary cap restrictions.

I wonder if Guerra has a good game in the centre's whether Robbo would consider playing him at right centre in the future if SKD's current malaise continues.

fingers crossed for Moga in his return in NYC, there is a very high risk for younger players coming back from an ACL injury, by all reports he has been flogged by the conditioning staff and looks in great shape.

I don't think Trent's like that, he's not Smithy with all the mind****ing.

I would do it differently, but we arent the coach, we only watch them play, we don't know their training or what happens behind the scenes... full confidence that Robbo can get us a win here. I just got myself tickets aswell, so fingers crossed.

I don't think it's that bad. I think it might Aubusson at 6 in defence, with SBW at 6 in attack. I don't mind a big body in the halves at all and I don't want SBW having to tackle props all game.

really thought they may have played rts in the centers with oldfield taking a wing spot. i dont think guerra has shown anything off the bench this yr, hope a full game shows something different.

[Roostarz]

Actually it looks like James Graham and Jackson are named to start in the 16 and 15 jersey. Kasiano (10) and Williams (12) named on the bench.

Maubs is named at five-eighth.

[The Brain]

Yes but SKD is still there? We cant win

He has gone with a defensive team, the dogs big wide running forwards require big defenders, Maubs and Guerra can fill this role.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

That has to be a joke with maubs and guerra possies...most inappropriate.

[roostersrule2]

Why is Moa still on the bench? Surely this is a gee up, Guerra and Maubs? Hahaha.

[elo]

I don't mind the team, only concerns for me are the kicking game and Guerra defending in the centres - I quite like our bench though, spark with Nafe and brute force with Napa, Liu and Moa - it's better than what it was against the Warriors tbh.

[stsae]

If you look at it, it makes sense especially defensively.

Minimal changes. Maubs still defends on the left, Gurrera and Cordner usually play on the left and Toops is there on the left, $BW stays on the right with SKiD and RTS. Mortein is added to the right.

In attack one would think $BW will handle more of the ball play and Friendly will kick more.

I'd have loved to see some of your faces when the team was announced. Skid marks all round.

Samisoni is a first tier player - it's the only way we can stay under the cap in the NYC (Top 25 NRL players are exempt from NYC cap). He is injured - that's why he's not playing. this weekend They had to get permission from NRL to play Napa and Seluini but it has been granted for this week only.
