[willlowtree]

is the Mad dog seriously still not fit

1. Kurt Gidley (c)2. James McManus3. Junior Sa'u4. Wes Naiqama (pretty sure MacDougall said on the Sunday Footy Show he still has a couple of weeks yet)5. Akuila Uate6. Ryan Stig7. Jarrod Mullen8. Richard Fa'aoso9. Matt Hilder10. Daniel Tolar11. Chris Houston12. Neville Costigan13. Joel Edwards14. Peter Mata'utia/Keith Lulia (Mata'utia comes on, Gids to hooker, Hilder to lock; or Lulia comes on, Wes to fullback, Gids to hooker, Hilder to lock, dunno if Lulia will be injured or not)15. Antonio Kaufusi/Evarn Tuimavave (If Evarn is fit, he should be over Kaufusi)16. Steve Southern17. Mark Taufua

Did Adam Macdougall say he wasnt ready yet, because i really want to see him play some footy this year

1. McDonnell
2. McManus
3. Sau
4. Naiqama
5. Uate
6. Stig
7. Mullen
8. Faas
9. Gidley
10. Tui
11. Houzo
12. Costigan
13. Edwards

14. Hilder
15. Kaufusi
16. Tolar
17. Southern
18. Taufua

I really rate McDonnell and think he deserves more chances to show us the goods. With De Gois injured i put Gidley into 9.

 

[NF_47]

Lulia, Degois, Southern, Costigan and Hilder (Suspension Maybe) all in a bit of doubt.

Assuming they are out:

1. Mata'utia
2. Mcmanus
3. Sau
4. Naiqama
5. Uate
6. Mullen
7. Stig
8. Tuimavave
9. Gidley (C)
10. Tolar
11. Houston
12. Fa'aoso
13. Edwards

14. Roberts
15. Kaufusi
16. Taufua
17. Ciraldo

Ciraldo played well yesterday, no errors, ran hard and tackled well. Would rather not play Gidley in a physical position like Hooker coming back from injury and Origin but if Hilder and Degois are both unable to play what can we do?

Assuming the guys in doubt are right to play:

1. Gidley (C)
2. Mcmanus
3. Sau
4. Naiqama
5. Uate
6. Mullen
7. Stig
8. Fa'aoso
9. Hilder
10. Tuimavave
11. Houston
12. Costigan
13. Edwards

14. Degois
15. Kaufusi
16. Tolar
17. Southern

Because of all the injuries and suspensions, have heaps of depth to cover any situation

 

[willlowtree]

well, with the news of players returning, this would be my team:1. Naquama2. Mcmanus3. Sau4. Macdougall5. Uate6. Gidley7. Mullen8. Faasso9. Hilder10. Tuimavave11. Houston12. Costigan/Edwards13. Southern/EdwardsInterchange:14. Lulia15. Matutia16. Kafusi17. Tafua

 

[Ms.Nobody]

Ciraldo played well yesterday, no errors, ran hard and tackled well.

He was an absolute passenger out there. He got himself into 5/8th and threw the worst ball ever to Fa'aoso which went behind him. Naiqama blew up at him all game for never getting up in defence and when Hilder didn't throw it to him he'd throw his hands up in the air like a little baby.

He did concede a penalty as soon as he got onto the field. It's his weekly ritual.

He is terrible.

 

[Jonno]

1. Wes
2. McManus
3. Sau
4. Lulia
5. Uate (Mata'Utai on standby for Uate)
6. Mullen
7. Gidley (c)
8. Tui
9. Hilder
10. Fa'aoso
11. Housten
12. Edwards
13. Southern

14. Stig (Roberts on Standby for Gidley)
15. Kaufusi
16. Taufua
17. Tolar

Play Hilder/Gidley/Stig like we did with Roberts earlier in the year. Bring Stig on after 25/30min, moving Gids to hooker, and Hilder to lock.

 

[roger88]

Hilder is facing the judicury and as loading from previous incidents, he should miss a couple of weeks with Gidley to hooker

[Beaumont]

I really hope Southern gets a run. I'll be interested to see how he greets Thurston.

He is terrible.

Didn't see that, my live stream did cut out for a 5 minute period though so probably happened then, but I did see the penalty.

I've gave him a hell of a bagging most weeks and even though he was ordinary again, still probably was his best game this year for us!

So many different factors involved we might aswell name a squad instead of a team, even to the extent of a 25-man squad.

 

[Jonno]

He did concede a penalty as soon as he got onto the field. It's his weekly ritual.

Didn't see that, my live stream did cut out for a 5 minute period though so probably happened then, but I did see the penalty.

He didn't give the penalty away, Southern did for not being square at marker.

EDIT: Just watched the game in full on TV for the first time, and focussed a bit on Ciraldo. I thought he was quite serviceable Sunday. Ran some good lines, and had some quick play the balls. Probably just needs to get a bit moved involved, and make a few more committed tackles. But all in all one not a bad game considering he was getting shifted around the field all game to cover injuries, and I dont think the game plan revolves around him getting the ball too much.
