I called for Hoy to be named two or so weeks ago. Has played great this year in the lower grades meanwhile we have bloody Mann on the wing and he’s crap.
Hoy and Mann are pretty similar physically - Hoy might be a bit bigger and faster - but Mann has 100 firstgrade games and Hoy has 0.
I think Hoy has a lot of improvement in him and Mann is probably at his peak, but no way would you pick a rookie over a 100 game vet unless he was a massive upgrade talent wise
 
We’ll win by 12+ this week. Forwards will dominate and fitz will score a double. Eels only just beat Dragons and they are going worse than us.
 
Almost same team I'd say. We were not too far away from Manly. Just did not take the ample good scoring chances we got.

Convert a few of those chances and add few repeat sets and the game turns out very differently just from the possession % change.
 
King is fit to play and must be in for either Jake Saifiti or Gavet.
I thought Lino had a shocker and should be replaced by Randall, who will at least tackle his heart out, and do his share of the kicking if required.

Surely King must replace Gavet. But with some of Brown's inexplicable selections you never know. I don't even look forward to team selections anymore, I lost faith in Brown to pick the best available team.

Lino is a flop and should be let go at the end of the year, is Lamb bad.
 
I actually thought despite the one handling error Gavet was fair last week. If he hasn't been dropped before he won't be this week. In saying that Brown might play him at 6 or 9.
 
Unchanged side except for Chris Randall out of the 21 and Danny Levi named at 21.
 
Another week of surprising selections, I'm so over Brown's team selections.

I can only see us winning one or two more games this season. We should beat the Titans and hopefully beat the Cowboys.

I've decided the NRL season is effectively over for me and it's the cricket season. I least one of my beloved teams is doing well!

And the NFL will be starting soon, if anyone here is into that (Seahawks, baby!).
