Love Hutch, and I enjoy his versatility, but for me, shouldn’t be in the 17. Would prefer someone like a Keighran who adds a tad more spark and options. Hutchison is a solid defender, but with that comes gassing himself early and I feel Robinson keeps him out there too long. Momorovski in for Naiqama is the right decision. Yes, defensively poor against Staggs, but that night even the best defenders would have been given a bath the mood Kotoni was in. Quite happy with the backline, hopefully Keary and Ted fire this game, because I don’t think I’m alone in saying their input and leadership has lacked thus far this season. Think DSF has been unlucky to miss out as well, felt he was under-utilised last week but did well in limited minutes. Will be there at the game on Monday, keen to have a good crowd and celebrate ANZAC day.

And, just for BB ....

Dragons starting pack weight is 626kgs, Roosters 595kgs.
Their backs 678kgs, ours 655kgs.
Their bench 419kgs, ours 409kgs.
Team Totals - Dragons 1732kgs, Roosters 1659kgs

If size really does count, looks like we're in trouble.

And robbo still refuses to put a prop on the wing …. He has no idea

[zac]

it's a solid team - that backline might be our strongest.
i note the bloke who refereed us last week is running a line. i thought he did a good job

[Davo]

Yes SST is back but it is only Tuesday.....Could pull out later in the week as expected.
Yes Glad Momo is back, he deserves a chance to redeem himself. Glad Kev is gone, had a good game on Sunday, but ineffective and fragile.
Loved Big Joe's performance and deserves his spot.
Still cant believe F Baker is ranked above DSF as he is far more aggressive and more metres in him.
I think our strongest team this year, except Watson in for Hutch and E Butcher replaces his brother.

[DP1990]

This backline looks dangerously good !


Almost at full strength minus Connor Watson and possibly Egan Butcher as well.

[The Oracle]

Where's BB?

Thanks Mighty Rooster, but is there an adding mistake? 1659kg?

I think you're right there Oracle.

[Bondicigar]

If Watson was in for Hutch I'd call that our best squad available, starting and bench IMO.
Thats a great side

[mattyh]

i like the look of this team team , but it is not big enough ...we need george rose, sam kasiano , on the wings , and mark tookey and garrick morgan at prop , we need willie mason at centre ...only way we will win ...afb at hb

[ism22]

Where's BB?

A couple of his alts are MIA. Don't worry... he'll return.
