How long is Matai out for again?

 

[Simon]

Hilder is more likely to play hooker than in the centres, remember they still have Mathers to come back in the next few weeks, i think we're likely to see a line up of
1 Mathers
6 Campbell
9 Hilder
14 Friend

Two to Six weeks from early reports...

 

[Blaze]

Ridiculous. Reports through that SBW will get 2 weeks if he pleads guilty. 3 if he tries to fight it.

 

[age_master]

i reakon he will get 2

 

[Simon]

you cant prove anything by still pictures, i dont know what to think of the hit, really wouldnt be surprised whatever way it goes...

 

[Fiery]

Brand-spanking new look Rabbitohs making an impressive start here. 12-0 after 19 min. Great story on Rooster's new winger Shaun Kenny-Dowall here

 

[Craig]

Thanks Craigos. Was a quality pick-up. They even removed his goalkicking position for me too

You could easily drop Rogers to fullback then play Hilder in the centres. He's never played there but he impressed me alot a tfive eighth and his defence is certainly very impressive. He's not the fastest but he has enough pace to do it IMO. Paea didn't impressive me either and I'm not sure how he keeps Peterson out. But Rogers at Fullback, Peterson and Walker wingers, Hilder and Webster in the centres and the halves of Prince and Campbell would be the best combination I think.

Well Walker is out for 8 weeks. The curse of Craigos has began

Darren Lockyer out for 4-6 weeks which will mean Shane Perry makes his return and Corey Parker being out for a while as well. Origin just came early for Brisbane then.

 

[Simon]

Perry will probably go to 5/8 and Ennis onto the bench. I'd imagine Hunt will do the goalkicking until Ennis comes on and Civoniceva will captain the side...

 

[Johnners]

was thinking perhaps move Hunt back to FB, Hodges into the centres, Perry & Moon the halves.

 

[Simon]

Hunt is pretty certain to stay in the 7...

in other news i cant believe i wasted 25 bucks on the roosters 13+ wont be doing that again...

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

**** me, who's this kid in the 6? Think I saw him toucb the ball 3 times in 80 minutes. What happened to Soward? He has talent, just needed a decent run in one position. Anasta played well at lock IMO. Tried his guts out. Nutley was great. What happened to Shillington? He's better than Beattie any day.

 

[Simon]

Anasta was Roosters best for sure, Aubusson as you said went MIA. I think Anderson will persist with him but a chance for Mitchell Pearce wont be far away, also i wouldnt be surprised if Harrison played in the 6 when he comes back in a few weeks...

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Harrison's not due back until week 7 or 8 apprently.

 

[Blaze]

The roosters players were ridiculously greedy inside Souths 20. All they wanted to do was dummy and go themselves instead of giving the ball to the outside men. I don't think Soliola touched the ball in an attacking situation all night.

 

[Simon]

Harrison's not due back until week 7 or 8 apprently.

apparently his recovery is going better than expected and he could be back by round 3 or 4...

 

[Blewy]

He said last night on the coverage that its on schedule to be back about Round 7 or 8

someone has been telling me fibs then...

 

[luffy]

Sonny's tackle didn't look that bad for mine. A bit harsh to be sent off. Johns feel into it a bit, but Sonny didn't deserve to get sent off.

 

[vic_orthdox]

I guess the fact is that when there's damage that looks as bad as what Johns did, there'll be ramifications.

An analogy could be that a little error in judgement in a car will usually not matter, but one day you make the same mistake and it does cause an accident and injure someone you could end up with a reckless driving conviction.
