Cordner not named

[Guest]

Trent Robinson has this afternoon named an extended squad for this Saturday night's must-win clash with the Newcastle Knights for a place in the 2013 Grand Final, including the return of a fan-favourite to the front row.
Rampaging forward Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is back after a one-week suspension ruled him out of our Qualifying Final win over the Sea Eagles two weeks ago, which sees Luke O'Donnell return to the bench.
O'Donnell has been named on an extended bench alongside Daniel Mortimer, Mitchell Aubusson, Isaac Liu, Dylan Napa and Marty Kennedy.
Liu is the only other new face in the squad after the hard-running, hard-hitting forward also missed the clash with the Sea Eagles in Week 1 of the 2013 NRL Finals Series.

I feel Robbo will give Cordner until as late as he can to prove fitness.

The team balance and makeup will be determined by Cordner's availability.

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 11. Aidan Guerra 12. Sonny Bill Williams 13. Frank Paul Nuuausuala

Such a good team, would be so tough to leave someone out for Cordner even though it'd be great to have him. Guerra and FPN really are the weak links in our forward pack compared to the others as much as FPN can be a game changer or just be below average.

I think Napa/Kennedy (most likely Kennedy) will come in for Liu/Guerra if Cordner isn't fit

Guerra is the best, then Liu

MK will be injury cover at best

kennedy will play off the bench with lod, morts and aubs.... body shapes remember. would think that napa will snag a spot before lui as he plays 80

that's 80 as a backrower, there is no room for Napa in the backrow or on the bench as backrow

Liu has played all season & is part of a team strategy, he has the experience to be considered ahead

Playing Kennedy will grant more penalties to the Knights, we had a major issue in this regard last time we played

[Guest]

Being the meticulous planner that he is I doubt Robinson would be wanting to make late changes to structure and tactics for such a big game by bringing in Cordner as a late inclusion. I reckon the decision about whether he will play would have already been made by now. And I reckon probably not. But we'll see.

Liu played as a result of injury/suspension. unfortunately there have been many. just figured the way that napa has been playing he might get the jump. as for the powder puff girl i think robo prefers him on the bench regardless of the penalties

will be interesting come kick off ... especially if cords is fit

[Tommy Smith]

I'm more concerned with SKDs dancing I that video.

Very disconcerting.

[Thirteen]

He was never going to be named.

[bondi-boy]

Cordner must be 100% fit to play...no match for experiments.

still got 5 days to go

[Chookies74]

Maubs for the Skiddish one....PLEASE

He will cost us this game, whoever he's against, Gaggit or KFC, either will tear him a new one. SBW can't keep saving him from the inside
