With Minicello out for 6 weeks who will be NSW state of origin fullback, Hodgson or Hornby or ?

 

[kimi]

Dear God,
Please dont make Anthony Minichiello get surgery.
Amen.

Toldya we were going to lose. And argh, fuck i hate Bulldogs supporters. Starting fights for no reason. Roosters don't deserve to get to the Finals at the rate we're going.

 

[tigerian]

I even have more news on the Roosters than their own supporters, dayem. Finch is leaving 100% at the end of the year, even though he wants to stay. Tigers the favourites for his signature.


Please tell me it's not true. Tiger fans dont want Finch. We want to move forward not backwards. Finch is very overrated .I hope your wrong we can do so much better.How many tiger fans have let the club that we dont wont Brett Finch. i have already signed the petition.

Roosters great team- terrible coach

Both Hodgson and Hornby have proven themselves for NSW.

And both of them would play wonderfully again, I think.

I don't mind which one gets selected, but Hodgson probably is ahead at the moment.

All I said is that the Tigers are the favourites at the moment. Doesn't mean they will be the ones to sign him.

*If Mini is out

Dunno about Lyon replacing Cooper, the centres are lethal enough as it is. I think the NSW halves will be Gower and Orford. Finch has this issue with kicking out on the full -_-. Also it would be hard to see Skandalis taking Mason out of the team, despite him being just as worthy. Also I cant see Mark Omealy missing out on a bench spot, he was solid in the Anzac test.

Sing has retired from rep footy I think? So count him out. Also why would you move the Australian captain into fullback when theres plenty of options as it is? He would only move to fullback if Whesser, Bowen, Inglis and Clinton Schikofski were all injured at the same time. I also think Steven Bell deserves a spot in the centres with Hodges.

 

[sando]

IMO there is currently no QLD fullback who has been in tremendous form... so lockyer should be moved back

Umm, becuase Greg inglis has totally been in shit form eh.

You're such a one-eyed Tigpie fan.

=========================================

In other news, FUCKJOB SIMMONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! into city. what lolworthyness.

 

[sando]

Greg Inglis is too young

 

[sando]

and how the hell can that be showing biasm to tigers.... tigers fullback is nsw

best option for QLD fullback is lockyer or bowen imo

 

[sando]

NEWS:

Sims was called in to replace Clint Newton for coutnry, but failed a medical... Laffranchi was called in to replace sims on the bench....

about bloody time i say HAHAHA
no, seriously

 

[DRAGONZ]

Yeah, Sims is out for 8-10 weeks with a broken scaphoid bone in his wrist .. one of the worst injuries to possibly get because it takes so long to heal.

City vs Country used to be worth something. Now, it's the most useless game of the season. All it does it gets players injured.

I really hope that neither Hornby nor Creagh get injured.

When the Roosters had six or seven players out, there was a media circus about it.

For Saturday night's game against the Warriors, the Dragons will have NINE first graders out injured.

Matty Head is now not expected back until Round 16. Wes Naiqama is gone for the season.

The Dragons are finished for 2006, they won't even make the Finals without Head.

Ahh well. Towards 2007!

 

[copious]

9 players out, unlucky. Good opportunity for my Warriors to leap frog Eels who I think will have a hard time agains the doggies.

Wes Naigama is no loss!

Yeah, Warriors are specials this weekend. If they want to make the Finals this season, this is a must-win match for them.

It's a must-win match for us, too .. but we just don't look to have the personnel to do it.

I mean, the squad is going to look something like this:

1. Greenshields
2. Best
3. Millard (Gasnier is a possible late inclusion)
4. Cooper
5. Morris
6. Barrett
7. Hornby
8. Henderson
9. Gorrell
10. Poore
11. Young
12. Creagh
13. Timmins

14. Leaeno
15. Te Maari
16. Bickerstaff
17. Ndaira


Even South Sydney could beat that lot ..

My only consolation is that we beat the Warriors when we had a huge injury list .. I think it was Round 2, 2004? Head was the star that day .. and he's not here ..

Warriors 13+ at WIN Stadium .. who would've thought at the start of the season?!

 

[sando]

Henderson at starting prop... haha.... dragons really are in an injury crisis

 

[Bookie]

Just give the ball to Laeano. Seemed to work well.

Kimmorley's coming back

"If it's not broke don't fix it", or in the form of the Sharks case "It's fixed, just don't break it again".

But with Dykes possibly missing out and kimmorleymaking a return, goodbye 2006

 

[sando]

they should drop Kearney.. Dykes to 5/8, kimmorley at 7...

raper should just instruct that dykes has the more dominant role... really, dykes won all those games, kearney did little
