A good time to be playing these cheating scumbags. Manu out and Suuali suspended. Crighton, Collins, Watson and Leniu. But even after all that, still not confident.

Team Tips:Jack Bird is a chance of returning from a knee injury this week. Meanwhile, Zac Lomax is also due to return and will be a straight swap for Mat Feagai on the wing after he was rested against the Dolphins. Bird, meanwile, could replace Max Feagai in the centres.
Put Bird on the bench for BMM but absolutely not in the centres.

Have to say Su'a did do a reasonable job of centre.. and we have a 2nd rower on the bench to replace him... the part I dont love is that we are now forcing Liddle to play each week for 80minutes.

I assume the plan is that KFlan is Liddles injury cover and Leilua becomes 5/8.. but its the bare minimum coverage.. and if we get 2 injuries its gg.. but anyway the reality is we dont actually have a decent 14 who can cover hooker + centre/fullback etc.

Last time they targeted the coaches favourite player in defence and it really paid off for them. Robinson might have been angry about Flanno calling him and telling him what's what after Robinson dropped coaches favourite when he was with the Sydney Rorters.

Bird ran as half in Ressie.
Cody continuing his rehab ran at FB non contact.

Can't believe it took an injury for Flanno to realise Bird wasn't the best option for centre. Not even close to 1 of the 2 best options.

I don't think you can pin it on one player, our entire team was horrible. We also had Eisenhuth at centre which clearly doesn't work.

Yes. I don't know what they said but Flanno called him demanding an explanation why Kyle was dropped. Then at the end of the year when they moved him on, Kyle was talking about how the system at the Rorters is really weird and they don't really know what they are doing. I remember because I found it very funny. Never dreamed Kyle would end up at the Dragons. Now the Rorters are laughing at us.

But then again, it's up to Kyle and Hunt to set up the play so Su'A and Luch are running at Keary and Walker, forcing them to make one on one tackles like they did with Kyle last time.

It was a very bad all round performance.

It's amazing the lack of excitement about this game. I don't have a good feeling. Need Kyle Flanno out for someone. Marshke is a better option if there is no one else. Like LKT not yet and Bird not any better. At least Bird is a relatively strong defender in the halves.

Also need Ryan Couchman in. That would make me feel much better about this game.

I hate to say it but I think the Rorters are a very serious team this year. I'm tipping a Rorters-Penrith GF. But this is the time to beat them without their 3 best centres.

They have weaknesses. Not one but 2 poor defenders in the halves. A good team, specially good halves will take advantage of that.

Ryan may be a late inclusion, we have a forward carrying a injury.
