The Warriors pack is huge so I understand why Taufua is there. I'd prefer Roberts though tbh, because at the moment we're forcing Hilder to be a playmaker as a utility and I know we might not need a playmaker sub seeing as most of ours are 80min so we're not wasting a spot. I'd like us to try and wear the Warriors pack out by running them around, but your team is just as good.
 
It's interesting that they have suited up Marvin Filipo as 18th man for our last two games.

I wouldn't be surprized if they run him in NSW cup this week for fitness and debut the Warriors junior against the Warriors. Straight swap for Pato.

completely agree. whats the point of having roberts there??? henry is a gun. everyone has major raps on him and im sure he's awesome. But I felt like he was a bit shy. and the time that he tried to run down the blind side on the last play i think he gave himself a heart attack as well as rick stone LOL.

Ooops, my bad. Forgot about him hehe. :redface:

I think Edwards starting at prop & Taufua starting at lock wouldn't be too bad either. Taufua was gun at lock last year while prop is Eddo's real position.

How's Taufua going in NSW cup? His one game for us this year was terrible. I'm thinking maybe, play Hilder at Hooker for first 15-20, with Edwards at lock. Then bring De Gois on, move Hilder to lock, give Edwards a break and move him into prop? I really don't want us to play De Gois for the full 80 yet

While I haven't seen him in his last few games of NSW cup, before he injured his little finger and missed 6 weeks I have to say he was fitter than i've ever seen him.
He's had two games now, and will get another on the weekend. That should be enough to get his fitness back.
He's been playing prop in NSW cup, which probably shows the extra weight and muscle he had in the pre season was all about him moving permanently to the front row.

*Henry > Roberts if fit, I mean id be only picking him if he is running around doing backflips at training otherwise wrap him in cotton wool because if he reinjuires himself with Gidley already out goodbye semi finals.
*Costigan >Paterson if fit, again id be getting him prove that the arm is 110% otherwise sending him in against the Warriors with a dodgy arm is just plain suicide.
*De'Gois>Karawana if fit, Hopefully De'Gois is fit im fairly confident we can get the result without Gidley, Henry & Costigan but we desperately need him back but the same thing applies with Issac if he's not right then he should let Marvan and Matty have a crack i mean that's what they get paid for.

We need the most aggressive pack on the park, Taufua and Nev will give this to us.

Pato needs a week in NSW cup, not trying to target him specifically but until he starts playing to what we all know he is capable of or he shows a bit more effort, he shouldn't be in the team.

Sau could use a week there too, his defence is a major liability, but we really can't afford to drop him. Lack of depth at the moment.

Who gave you guys the idea that Costigan will be fit 3 weeks early???
