21 MAN SQUAD v COWBOYS

[Rooster1908]

Did you mean we're, or were? Freudian slip?

Is that some kind of negligee

[Roosterfarian]

Why would you pick Morris at center he has been poor the last few games, Billy smith scored in his first run back and looked pretty good to me, Morris needs to start having a dig maybe Jared giving him a mouthful the other night might might help him out cause he looks disinterested in what's going on in the backline to me.

I think Morris may well be cooked.

Commentators mentioned that JWH had repeatedly lambasted Morris for not pushing up in defence and shirking his defensive duties. May well be on tired old legs.

Worn by mothers.

[Mickie Lane]

If everyone is fit I would go with

1. Teddy
2. Tupuo
3. Smith
4. Morris
5. Ikuvalu
6. Manu
7. Walker
8. JWH
9. Verrills
10. Liu
11. Crichton
12. Tupouniua
13. Radley

INTERCHANGE:
14. Keighran
15. Butcher N
16. Butcher E
17. Baker

If Tedesco doesnt play Manu to FB & Hutch to 5/8
If Crichton doesnt play N Butcher to second row & Thomas to the bench

If Teddy & or Crichton pull out I dont think the Chooks will win.

[Mickie Lane]

Why is Fumbles Ikuvalu continually selected in first grade?
His errors,,knock ons, dropped balls,defensive stuff ups, blunders and mistakes continually put the team under pressure

recall the 2020 game against Souths...the 60-8 thrashing....Ikuvalu let in 5 tries down the right side
recall the loss this year at the SCG against the lowly Broncos...he had a shocker
recall his game against Penrith.....numerous fumbles
even his game last week against the Dogs...2 major errors....and Canterbury scored tries straight after

while Ikuvalu can score a spectacular try now and again...overall he is a weak link.....and all NRL coaches have worked this out

Easts cannot progress with Ikuvalu in the team,,,,,Billy Smith or Joseph Suaalii are much better long term options

Cyril Snodgrass III welcome back.
What about the Dragons.

i'd go with that 17. jmoz on the right gives support to sammy w. i don't think joey's a 5/8 but rads and teddy can also get in there and you just want joey to get his hands on the ball

[bondi.boy]

Don’t know what keighran has to do for a chance. Is it going to taken a loss to the cowboys for a change?

He could be the difference in winning and losing this game....he should be hooker.

[zac]

holmes will be out. teddy probably rested unless he pulls up extra well. gus only played a half hour so hope he plays

[bondi.boy]

Hope Walker finds his 9 iron. The sand wedge is struggling to make the distance.

Exactly why Keighran should be in the team, hooker....or Hutch hooker and Keighran 5/8.
Verrills throws forward passes.

Verills is a far better hooker than the other two. Keighran is a great goal kicker but he needs to impove his defence. No point scoring the extra 2s if he's going to give away extra 4s and 6s through poor defence.

yes verrills is a better defender. but keighran is better in attack and it shows when hes hooker.

[bondi.boy]

I think he's lost the motivation he had when Brett was playing. That's a big reason why he came to the club.

Maybe age has caught up with him...it does that to you, one minute you're 35 and partying on the 'Fairstar' like there's no tomorrow, and next minute tomorrow hits you in the face ... and you just can't do it anymore...all your youthful energy has gone.

Maybe not...the conditions last game were atrocious.

Yeah righto BB we dont need to hear about what happened to you sex life.
