Do we really think McDonald will be any better than Goodwin in the Centres, I mean they are both **** but McDonald was horrific against the panthers? I think talakai was pretty solid in the Centres I’d be running with him and dugan if duges is fit. If not I’d run with Goodwin and talakai

Bomber said already that if Chad can't play it would be Tracey coming in. Moylan won't be ready (reports say round 13 at best).

I like the idea of giving Trindall a run though. Maybe if Tracey plays in the halves they can use Trindall as the bench 9 to get him some NRL experience.

Fact Milf played a game at FB and is now training with their rehab group and in doubt due to hammy soreness really makes me dubious about running Moyza there again when he’s fit

might be time to move chad on or play him at dummy half and have Brailey on the bench. maybe I’m crazy who knows

Don't discount those good young wingers the Broncos have in Xavier Coates and Herbie Farnsworth (could be centre as well), they made their debuts last time against us and played brilliantly, Coates scored on debut if I remember correctly spectacularly plucking a bomb out of the air.

If nothing else, I just need someone to bash that prick Darius - I'll be happy if someone lays him out.

Fancy giving a **** about Darius Boyd in 2020.

Staggs could have a day out though.

I'm not worried about him as a footballer CAPS. I just can't stand the prick.

I do like Kotoni Staggs though, he is a good player.

He's taking a ton of cap space and offering zero through play or leadership. Most likeable Darbz has been.

The Xavier Coates "blinder on debut" is a myth. He scored off a bomb, but he also gifted the Sharks a try with an error in goal and two more from awful defensive reads/positioning. Sharks looked likely to run a few more down that edge until the "Kyle Flanagan defends in the middle" horror story started.

I used to dislike him too .
But, he came to our workplace to talk about mental health .
Got to have a one on one chat with him .
He was actually a nice dude .
From a REAL tough upbringing

with our injuries this is what i'd run out with

1. kennedy
2. katoa
3. talakai
4. mcdonald
5. ronaldo
6. johnson
7. tracey
8. hamlin-uele
9. brailey
10. woods
11. nikora
12. graham
13. williams

14. frudolph
15. hunt
16. wilton
17. goodwin

fingers crossed dugan is ok and can come in for talakai which pushes goodwin out of the 17.
if chads ok obviously in for tracey
ramien in for mcdonald

Dugan should be good to go, as should sorenson.


1. Kennedy
2. Katoa
3. Talakai, Wilton
4. Dugan
5 Ronaldo
6. Johnson
7. Tracey
8. Uele
9. Brailey
10. Woods
11 Nikora
12. Graham
13. Williams

14. Ruldoph
15. Hunt
16. Sorenson
17. Wilton/ talakai

Likely to the side. I wouldn't be surprised if Billy M or Trindall get a spot on the bench over Sorenson or Wilton

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking it’ll look like too.

Curious to see how Tracey goes if he plays in the halves.

From what I've seen he's really more of a 6 so Johnson will have to take on some extra responsibility but a rookie half coming in the experienced half always has to take on some extra duties, regardless of 6 or 7.

Johnson is in a great run of form and there is no particular reason it should dip so I expect him to take on the extra duties no worries.

Think our current system should fit Tracey well enough.

Hopefully he kills it.
