what happened to mose??

[elo]

I was hoping Kane would stay on the wing and Graham would slot back into centre as his showings on the wing have been poor for mine.

The rest looks about as expected, Kouparitsis the clear weakness on the bench but blah.

Ive heard he has a few niggling injuries but he may just have been dropped to make way for myles

Mose is injured, otherwise he would have been there instead of conn. I am loving the pack depth at the moment - at full strength, we have paea, conn, guerra, jaubs, leilua, baitieri, cherrington, symonds all in reserves.

How long is Mose out for?

[Guest]

could simply be resting the big man. It's something the Swans do alot. Young blokes coming into the top grade can get worn out... small niggles which an established player would easily play with... give them a rest. The weekly grind of the NRL would be a major step up.

Yea Mose has picked up a few little injuries in the last few rounds.

I ask it again, why the fark is N.Kouparitsis still in this side?? Bloody hell.

Aside from that, this has got to be the strongest team we've put out this year.

Who would you have instead of Kouparitsis..??

Smith has a bit of a history of rotating the squad to maintain depth going into September.

I like the way this season is shaping up.

Anyone FFS, he is useless!

FINALLY a thread worth reading. What a waste of time some of those others have become.

Totally agree with your whole post elo. Graham hasn't had one decent game at wing but has had a few at centre. If Koups must be in the team, please keep him out of dummy half. Even play Anasta there for the ten minutes Friend is off.

The funny thing is, I have no idea who I would have instead. Thats a testament to Kouparitsis' role in the team is suppose.

Interesting that mose is out, as others have said, it could only be due to injury as his form has been great.

This round will also be Ennis Vs Myles Rnd 2 and Braiths 200th game.
