We do just commenting on the previous games this seasonWe've got plenty of weapons & quality ourselves. Should be a cracking contest. It'll be a warm one...

TPH in the center's is a bit of a worry.
- Halangahu is a big loss but I like that the coach has moved Nick T from centre to the backrow where he is best. As a matter of fact, I think at this stage of their careers, Nick T might be a better backrower than Halanagahu who is a bit younger.
- Huge opportunity for Hutchinson and CST to push their claims for a spot in the top 30 next year. Personally I seriously rate them both. It's just a question of whether next year is too early.
- Reed as 18th is a bit strange. After all, I don't think he, Glover or Ilias can play anywhere but the halves.
- Mike Molo must be injured. If so, this might have been his last game. In my view he's been underrated for a while. Never let them team down when he played first grade but with all the young forwards coming through, as this team and extended bench show, lettting him go now is the right decision.
In defence he will be but will worry them in attack.TPH in the center's is a bit of a worry.
Couldn’t have a scarier match up then leiataua too.TPH in centres is worrying.
TPH in the center's is a bit of a worry.
I have a suspicion the coach is going to start with CST and Nick T, one of them in the centres and one in the backrow and then bring TPH on about 10 min before halftime. Probably to give CST a rest. But if not, coach obviously thinks TPH can handle it and he's taken the team this far so I'm not going second guess him now.TPH in centres is worrying.
I agree Eric lets see what happens on the day, All the best to them, I think their confidence is up and will give a good showing of themselves, Go the young Dragons !!!I have a suspicion the coach is going to start with CST and Nick T, one of them in the centres and one in the backrow and then bring TPH on about 10 min before halftime.

I know it's only NSW Cup but I'd love to see them win. Mainly because the age of the squad and the number of them who I think will have long NRL careers. This might prove they are ready for the step up next year. Obviously Nick T, Halangahu and LPT are going to step up but Hutchinson, CST, Buchanan and a couple of the extended reserves might also.
Jesse Williams as well.I have a suspicion the coach is going to start with CST and Nick T, one of them in the centres and one in the backrow and then bring TPH on about 10 min before halftime.

Not in the pack we dont and outside Ramsay and Williams not in backs. Reed had to have been the controller not a bloody late utility, if he plays at all. No size on the bench now with Fifita overlooked. We treated him shabbily.We've got plenty of weapons & quality ourselves.
Ditto. Will need to given the loss of Loko and Jake. And where the hell is Jett Liu. Mike is our only quality experienced forward and outside the two kids, Liu our most promising middle. There is one thing going for us, plenty of Firsts experience in the forwards.All the best to them, I think their confidence is up and will give a good showing of themselves, Go the young Dragons !!!
He'll hold his own. I have seen the little dude dump blokes twice his size.In defence he will be but will worry them in attack.
Nick T and CST are very effective weapons. Blocka and BMM offer good go forward at reserve grade level. Better than Fifita. RFM will get through plenty of work and be safe at this level. Jake and LPT are big losses but we have plenty of quality weapons to cover for them.Not in the pack we dont and outside Ramsay and Williams not in backs. Reed had to have been the controller not a bloody late utility, if he plays at all. No size on the bench now with Fifita overlooked.
Yet to convince me he is a FGer. MM rolls round the field now he is so unfit. Been ordinary last two games. Blocka will always give 100%.
Not what I have seen from him in Ressies this season. He makes his huge pcms thru not only his size but sheer determination. Something very few others in the middle do. Baffled whether he still has a poor engine or not, as Talau kept giving him low mins, but he was powerful during his short stints. He was also used inconsistently. The club obviously dont want him so he will now depart.Better than Fifita
Liu has a jaw injury, hence why he wasn’t namedNot in the pack we dont and outside Ramsay and Williams not in backs. Reed had to have been the controller not a bloody late utility, if he plays at all. No size on the bench now with Fifita overlooked. We treated him shabbily.

Nick is being bounced round like a pong pong ball. On the edge, then centre, back on the edge. Is good that he has the versatility as he looked completely at home last week, but I do think edge is his best position for the foreseeable future with Egan in the middle.
Not sure what games you watched.Yet to convince me he is a FGer. Mariner rolls round the field now he is so unfit. Been ordinary last two games. Blocka will always give 100%.
