SQUAD v DRAGONS

Well it's now or never for the Chooks. If we don't start stringing a run of wins together we can kiss the 8 goodbye. It MUST start this week ... if we win this one we jump the Dragons immediately and are within reach of the 8. If we lose this, it looks a long hard road back into finals contention.

He's back!! No, not Keary, but the Big Dog, JWH is back, making his return from the bench. The Origin boys all named to back up. Lodge is in the extended squad, but not named in the 17. If Collins doesn't pull up well from tomorrow night, he might get a call up yet. Momo at right centre - I hope that doesn't hurt us.

GO EASTS !!

Good team.

[ism22]

- JWH back (maybe).

- Smith and Momirovski in the centres.

- Manu at 5/8.

- Lodge named at 19 (not ideal but could play if JWH doesn't recover?)

- Sims and Ravalawa out for Dragons. However... Hunt, McGuire and Woods return.

Expecting a pretty tough game here, but we NEED to win so no other result is acceptable.

[roosterproud]

ahhhhhhhh. $hit what the

Jared Waerea-Hargreaves has been named to make his long-awaited return in jersey No.17.

All four of our Origin players have also been named to back up from tomorrow evening's Decider, with James Tedesco leading the side from fullback.

Daniel Tupou and Joseph Suaalii line up on the flanks.

Paul Momirovski returns to the team at five eighth, partnering Billy Smith.

Robbo giving Keary more rest while we are desperate to get our season back on track..

I’m honestly not sure what’s going on anymore

[zac]

pretty much a must win game - saints have a tough draw but seems like it's a shoot out between us them and manly to get 8th spot.
good to see jwh back. trent will want to give the origin boys a week off but seems like teddy will play this week and maybe take next week off with keary playing 5/8 and manu to fb.

No Keary is a massive concern

[top_joe]

No Keary is a massive concern

It would be fair to say that Mr Keary is just about gone now. He has been off for quite some time for quite a small (compared to most others) knock.

Wish he would come, but wish him the best if he does not.

[DP1990]

1. What on Earth is going on with Keary ? This is seriously becoming a mind-boggling concern. Is he fit to play or not ?!


2. As much as I don't like this but I think one of the Butcher brothers will end up losing their bench spot for Lodge. There's no way he's been acquired to play for the Bears and/or act only as depth cover.


PS: Overall, solid side and glad to see JWH return !

[gragra]

Momorovski defending against Suli and Lomax....we can lose the game right there ! Even would rather Hutchison there..

Why tf is this game at the Central Coast? Give away our home ground advantage for what? A few bucks? At this time of the season? Are we that broke? Incompetence and madness

To give all our ‘juniors’ up there something to strive for.

Our record up there is 7-17

[Rooster R]

Either Keary is going to play or just retire him so we can have some stability going into the finals, the Keary/Walker combo has not worked. I think give Walker the keys and leave Manu as a running 5/8, we need another winger, move Sualli into centre and get rid of Momoslowmo!!!
