6. Mullen
7. Stig
8. Fa'aoso

i dont actually reckon thats a bad side. that could work well
 
1 Uate
2 McManus
3 Lulia
4 ?????
5 Mati'utia
6 Stig
7 Mullen (willing to give him 1 last shot)
8 Fa'asso
9 De Gois
10 Tuimavava/Tolar
11 Houston
12 Costigan
13 Edwards


14 Roberts/Tolar
15 Hilder
16 Taufua
17 Southern

18 Kaufusi (Haven't got a spot for him in there with Taufua and Southern on the bench plus possibly Tolar)
19 Ciraldo (he did show improvement this week. Maybe dropping him back to 19th man would help him more)
20 Zane Tetevano
 
Why bother with this thread....Stone obviously doesnt read any of this and he has no idea how to field a decent team with the crap team we had today./rant
If you honestly believe that the coach of an nrl team would take the uneducated opinions of spectators to help him decide who to play, you are kidding yourself!

okay okay okay, first of all you cant have Uate at fullback and Peter Mata'utia on the wing. because Mata'utia plays his best footy at fullback and same with Uate on the wing so swap them straight away. and if Wes isnt playing then i would put Siuatonga Likiliki in the centres over maddog macdougall
 
1. Kurt Gidley (c)
2. James McManus
3. Keith Lulia
4. Adam MacDougall

Well believe it or not, some of these teams look a lot better than the ones he picks week in week out. None of us coach but it was pretty damn obvious any of us could have fielded a better team than what Stone did yesterday.

If this is the team you think will get named, you know Ciraldo is a permanent fixture in the 16. :lol:
 
TBH im expecting

I think we should blood Liki liki not bagging the maddog but he does not deserve a spot in the team for next week and people will say liki liki is not ready for first grade but his in a our top 25 players and we will never know if his ready if he doesnt play in the nrl. Also i think sinbad kali should be on the bench sack kaufsi and sign him up because the offloads from tolar and him are of poor standard and costing us big time.

Liki would be lucky to keep his spot in NSW cup if we were full strength, I struggle to believe he will make the jump successfully. If anyone should come up from the Centurions it would in my eyes be Simon Williams. However I'm confident with our current backline with perhaps move Wes to centre (Doogs if Wes is out) and Gidley to fullback.

And I enjoy a little bit of Kaufusi and Tolar bashing as much as the next person but these are their metre stats from this week and off this they deserve as much praise as humanly possible.

All runs:
Kaufusi 145m (14 runs)
Tolar 127m (16 runs)

Hit-ups:
Tolar 14 hitups for 118m (55 mins)
Kaufusi 8 hitups for 79m (39 mins)
 
Maddog and Gidley are both 50/50. Who will replace Maddog if he is out? K.Naiqama or Likiliki?

K.Naiqama would be 10000/1. Likiliki has done squat since he's been here. Simon Williams I would hope.

Added after 2 minutes:

If everyone who is in doubt are ruled out we could potentially see;

Mata'utia
Uate
S Williams
Lulia
Jimmy Mac
Mullen
Stig
Tui
DeGois
Kafusi
Houston
Costigan
Edwards

Hilder
Fa'aoso
Tolar
Southern/Ciraldo/Taufua

If Gidley hasn't recovered from his injury we could see Shannon Mcdonnell at fullback. He has solid earlier in the year and deserves another shot in FG.
