Side v Cows

[Thirteen]

If Walker doesn’t play on the weekend then I honestly can’t see how he plays again this season (short of a devastating injury toll)

I disagree.

[Rooster_6]

I agree with you re: Walker development but do you honestly believe we are a better side with Joey 6, Hutch centre and one of the best young halves the game has seen playing cup?!

No ofcourse I don't but I also see the long play.

It's only Magic Round, the Grand Final is still ~20 games away.

Smith is really unproven. He’s never had enough time to show what he can do. Surprised by the support he gets on here. Hopefully he’ll come good. The club has been very patient with him. He owes us for our loyalty.

Yes one of the best young halves but he missed 9 tackles in his last game of NRL and his long kicking game isn’t good enough to play at the highest level. He has lots of work to do and well done to the coach for having the balls to drop him. Short term pain for long term game. Hopefully Sammy will be back bigger and better than ever and his demotion will be the best thing that’s ever happened to him.

100% mate. That's what I've been saying. If you are gonna play the bloke, play him at 6 where his limited skill is at least used to some effect. Good boot, calm head, etc.

He’s a better 6 than Joey.

We collectively hope that you are right.

Do you use the same password for your King Salvo stats guru account?

Lol no I’m definitely not the king. Craig Salvatori used to be one of my favourite players. Now I just get sad and depressed when I see that pic of him in the change room. The king has ruined salvo for me forever.

There is no way he is starting hutcho

Don't stress mate, it's Magic Round. Think of it as our contribution to the carnival atmosphere.
Cue The Circus Theme Song.

[The distributor]

If we line up that way on Sunday I'd totally understand if Sammy Walker asks for a release next week.

He will be a terrible loss for the club. Keary can’t play forever.

This was tried last year and didn’t work either.

Great to see smith back in the 22. Another couple of weeks in res should give him confidence
how can tui Katoa get named in the 22 and not pauga?
only change momo out, no loss but hurts for depth! I still can’t believe robbo, he is the best thinker in the game at times but at times over thinks it
we would be better off moving teddy to 6 and manu to 1 as a number 6 needs to set up guys outside him not just run the ball, manu just plays like a big kid in under 10s running the ball
hutch will get schooled v Holmes
the bench is strong though with gus, Sitili and lodge
the impact these guys made pushing the butcher brothers has allready been Noticable
I don’t see Whyte named in 22 or or res - was he injured ? May was not named last week but played for bears still, he has dropped off not getting names in the 22 squad now
also have not seen the Fijian Vuate for weeks

Teddy at 6 and Manu at 1 would be interesting to watch. I’m sure Teddy has indicated he’d move to 6 if it meant keeping Manu at the club.

The Hutchinator slowest centre ever

True...I've seen Butter turn faster..
