Team for next week?

[Aidos]

hilder to 5/8 ? zeb back at lock houston and simmo second rowers

not a bad idea tbh. i reckon give that a go.

 

[knights4premiers]

Keep Hilder where he is, he does the job more than Perfect.

 

[lolwut]

@James, we don't have anyone else who can play 5/8 right now although Dureau seems to play his best when he's given complete control of the game.

Houston played a roving forward role last year, I think it was mainly to help Dureau in defence.

It lets him play his natural game.

 

[Jonno]

BS will just name anyone at 5/8, but you will see Gidley play more as a second receiver in attack.

 

[stix1211]

i think ndaira a 6 hes creative and a good defender hilders been to solid at lock to move its all a big mess at the moment i hope simmo and pato and uate a right to go this week

I feel if NSW are considering Kurt Gidley at 5/8 then give it a go this week, also will give better defense in the middle around Lockyer.

NSW wont be be considering gidley at 5/8 for the main fact that hes playing his best footy at fullback. kurt has said himself he is much more comfortable at Fullback because he likes the freedom in roaming around the field. With brett stuart out it lets him take the fullback spot easily with not much competition against him.

Gidley to stay at fullback despite injury concerns over the Halves area dye to the quality kicking game of Lockyer and Wallace.

BS also said Mullo will be seeing a specialist tomorrow to see of it's a muscle injury or if he needs surgery

Karawana, Ndaira and Hilder can all play 5/8.

Howzo aint a prop thats jus a real shame if his put up front,his a wide running back rower,put simpson up front

 

[jamesgould]

He's ... cmon people, you can do it!

 

[Vallabinho]

Sez on DT that De Gois is wearing the #14 jersey??

 

[Denno]

We pick our teams aiming for success at the Knights first, and then NSW.

Gidley is favourite for captaining the Blues from the back, now even more so because of Gallen's suspension.

edit: Gallen's no-suspension
