Warriors News: Michael Luck has not been cleard to play this week due to concussion from last weeks game. Leeson Ah Mau will replace him in the squad, but Aaron Heremaia is a chance to replace him in the top 17.

If that's the Aaron Heremaia I think it is.. why on earth would you play two halfbacks on the bench?

You are thinking of the same Heremaia, he plays hooker as well. Ivan will probably be thinking of moving Henderson to lock, Fien to hooker and Jones to starting halfback then Heremaia running off the bench at hooker/half. Ah Mau to miss the cut.

That is how I would see it anyways.

We will see who does better

Interesting to see Gildey the favorite for Blues captaincy. Not sure there many other options. I guess that bye bye to Stewart rep career unless the selectors grow a brain and pick him the wing and play him with Gildey.

 

[Ausage]

Rightly or wrongly, I seriously doubt Stewart will be playing rep footy this year.

 

[chaminda_00]

Unless there is a couple wingers in red hot form. It would be surprising if he not considered unless he gets convicted. Considering NSW haven't won a series in forever.

 

[Simon]

Gidley>Stewart as a fullback anyway.

 

[Blewy]

I think Chris Lawrence will get 1 wing spot this year for the Blues and i think the other will go to Hayne..

All i know is if Steve Turner or Anthony Quinn see a sky blue jumper this year ill be livid..

Most likely thing to happen, unless Williams has blinder during his comeback from injury. Though it would be funny if you 5/8 get picked on the wing. Yet a fullback can't play wing. Yeah I know they played most of their careers. But still it would be funny.

I wouldn't rule out Turner or Quinn if the coach has a say.

Tough round this week, very hard to find value.
Ended up with $60 on the Eels to beat the Bunnies at 2.35 for a $141 collect.

Nah. I reckon the likes of Jennings and Josh Morris are well ahead of Lawrence.

 

[Simon]

Depends what way the selectors go, honestly I think they'll look at a combination of youth an experience and their first choice backline will be

1 Kurt Gidley
2 Brett Stewart
3 Michael Jennings
4 Matt Cooper
5 Joel Monaghan
6 Terry Campese
7 Peter Wallace/Mitchell Pearce

Reckon the Eels will put in a big one tonight. With you on that, although my only bet of the night is on Inu 1st try

 

[chaminda_00]

Barrett would be certainy for 5/8 imo. A three way battle for halfback spot between Campese, Wallace and Pearce.
