As I confidently predicted Mcguire and Burgess finally in the team. Woods must still be feeling the hamstring last week he was ok 7 hit ups only but still made 70m which is what you want, without knowing that may be the reason. Good to see Sullivan's name in there Ford and my man Gosiewski unlucky not to be in the named 17. Stuck with Mbye and Bird surprisingly
Surely this won't be the team. Surely it'll change quite a lot.
Very surprising re Bird and Mbye. I call it outright weird. Even stranger when considering the fact Sullivan is back.
Kerr well that one is out of left field I'd suggest size not ability was considered here to match the size of Klemmer and Saifiti early on. I can't see him lasting more than 20 min. Wish him well.
Sullivan wouldn't be match fit yet. I believe that we are looking around SOO time for the inclusion of Amone, Sloan and Sullivan in the starting 17 together
I wish him well as well. I wish the whole team well. I'm just not confident he's going to do well.
His stats in the NSW Cup were pretty good last week. A few line break and try assists, 17 tackles for only one missed.
He may surprise us all this is his big chance to ensure that he doesn't slip back to NSW Cup
Yep acknowledge that but I'd say SOO time for his chance
If he wanted a big body in to match it with Klemmer and Saifiti early on, why wouldn't he have gone with Burgess if he was set on demoting Woods? I don't mind him demoting Woods if he was unhappy with his performance last week but was Kerr's any better?
Match fitness is my guess. The early forward exchanges would have him tanked by the 10 min mark in my opinion. I'd say Woods is feeling his hamstring injury still. But we are getting close to my best 17
I see. Well, I guess that would make sense. It definitely does for Burgess but not so sure about Woods hamstring but can't see any other logical reason he'd be dropped for Kerr.
Agree
Kompromat. Who knew Josh Kerr was so sophisticated
?
You are always so optimistic. I think it's probably the result of good ol fashioned poor judgement.
Worked in my job for me before retirement and worked for me in the sporting arena, positivity, it's a wonderful thing especially if it is tempered at the right times.Never be too scared to admit mistakes, say sorry and say thank you, all costs you not 1 red cent
That's good but until now, being optimistic in Kerr, Bird, Lawrie, Mbye hasn't worked out well for coach Griffin. At least not in the positions he's been using them.
Look I agree Bird off the bench Mbye off the bench as well would serve us well but Birds a favourite so can't see it happening. McCullough still carrying an injury in my view. I said at start of season 4 prop rotation was needed until we achieve that we will struggle.
I don't think Bird is a coach favourite. McCullough and McGuire definitely are. Seems Josh Kerr as well. As far as I know, Bird has been told to fly away next season. Last Friday was the deadline to re-sign.
