Side next week

[Rooster89]

Did anyone else think Collins was immense last night?

[Rooster89]

I still think Hutch needs to be there somewhere, I'd like him at 13.

He is the only player in the squad that can kick the ball further than 20m

Yeh but on the flip side at lock he'd provide 0 go forward and be gassed by the defensive load in the first 20.

Marschke is a tough little bugger - defends strongly and his service is good. He should be picked in front of two part timers - ffs it's the spine - get a specialist.

He’s currently ranked 4th in missed tackles I believe in NSW cup.

Yes, getting better every week. Will take some time before he’s back to his best but some really good signs.

ACL injuries are no joke. 6 month recovery is a bit of an illusion.

Good news JWH cleared of high tackle but fined for verbal abuse. JWH is shown as correct in his assessment, shame was wrong on how he berated Sutton...( but I empathise with how he felt).

Unfortunately as strong as we were in the first 30 minutes to be REALLY competitive in this comp we need 3 under performing players to lift substantially....Momo brings nothing to the position, Chrichton is a shadow of his former ability, missing tackles, not breaking the line and barely a pass in his game and of course a quality hooker. I would put Smith in the centre, (only because he's s not Momo) Marshke to hooker until Verrills returns, , and only use Sitilli off the bench...but I doubt any of this will happen...

That might be right - but how many tackles does he make? I recall him being very solid for us when we needed him last year.

Watson needs to play for bears to figure out what a hooker actually does

He wasn’t wrong in berating the POS,he should have gone harder on the cheat. These flops have never played a game in their life & only ref as they were picked on at school & now feel the need to extract some revenge.

I wouldn’t use Quentin Keenihan ever again & hope the club moves on from the wasted experiment at the end of the season. Skilled,yeah sure,but too fragile to play the game unfortunately

[Bahrain Rooster]

With Sitili coming back my only interest is who out of Baker and May makes the cut. Although the judiciary might make that decision if JWH misses out.

JWH just got a fine thankfully so he should be playing next week.

Egan 100% won't be starting
i thought SST went ok at 13

ye he went ok, very much a taumalolo type 13. i think we need crichton or watson there, needs to have ball skills. Egan needs time in reggies

Egan does have ball playing ability ... apparently he was a five-eighth in junior grades so it may be worth a look to slot him in

i said i think in game day forum that Egan last night was quite average. He looked tired and a little out of place. I think he needs to build up game fitness and confidence in reggies for the moment. I know the forum loves him but he played 1-2 average games for the bears and gets called up, while players like DSF, Tuku and AK are killing it and staying. Play the players you know will perofrm and let him work his way up
