Carter in, Watson out

[Mickie Lane]

I think we can, however the pack would have to have some other movements. In the end I think Guerra causes the massive imbalance to our pack. SST is such a massive loss right now. I would go with th below to give us a bigger middle third. Guerra's zero go forward. slow play the balls, inability to pass before or at the line, inability to slow the ball carrier's when making a tackle, poor lateral movement in defence when exhausted after 20 minutes and dumb penalties will kill us.

So Matterson doesnt make your side.

No, Cordner and Aubbo are 80 minute footballers, I can't put Matterson ahead of them. I think his defence is still a bit dodgy and I am yet to be convinced he is tough enough to play 80 minutes in the backrow.

Liu has to be on the bench as part of a 4 prop rotation. That leaves 3 spots.. Prop, 2nd row and a utility..

I tend to think the same. Im still not convinced that he is tough enough. I reminds me of Anasta.

Good call, same for me, he let Curtis Sironen run straight through him in the Manly trial to score a try and though he did well in the Mitchell try, also bombed another chance throwing a flick pass when a conventional pass could just have easily been thrown. It isn't that I don't rate him at all, i just couldn't start him over Aubbo who has proven himself over a long period of time.

Updated squad. Carter has dropped out of the squad so looks like Watson will play.

Telefluff took the bait again.

I know Robbo knows more than what I do about coaching/running a footy team but after lasts years effort & his man of the series in the 9's it would have been the wrong thing to do not picking Watson in the 17 IMO.

Maybe someone should stop going to the Sheaf on a Wed night, might help

Who came up with this stupid musical chairs version of announcing the team lineup?

How many Wyong players named in "reserve grade" will actually play?

Who'd have thought a Fox News outlet would promote "fake news"?
