Thanks Tim.

Do you know how high Turners chances are of playing?

Straight from the Telegraph:

MELBOURNE coach Craig Bellamy does not expect winger Steve Turner to play. Turner missed last week's loss to Newcastle with a knee injury and Bellamy said: "If he continues to improve he might play but at this stage he is out.''

The game is on Monday, so anything can happen by then......

If you're thinking of including them in a multi, I'd wait for Monday...

Just tossing up whether to include him in my fantasy team in the final this weekend.

Might have to leave him out not worth the risk.

Cheers Tim

Interesting player to drop for Lyon. I would have thought a forward would be dropped off the bench and Menzies would start on the bench. But maybe they're happy with the structure they have atm.

Hey, did anyone read or hear anything confirming that they are going to be handing out free plastic whistles at the broncos game tonight? Going to be madness if it is true. I know they are handing out T Carroll masks but haven't heard anything else about the whistles other than on the forum

I know the Dragons are stringing together wins but seriously...leaving Soward out in favour of Rogers? WTF Rogers is a joke

SMH:

Parramatta coach Michael Hagan said he expected his squad to be "1-17" against the Warriors, although Feleti Mateo has been struggling with various ailments this week.

"Feleti had a couple of things he needed to get treated - a couple are in that group - but the physio has told me they should be OK to play," Hagan said

My post in another thread:

Quote:
Why change the team?

Last 3 weeks, they've put:

24 on the Broncos
34 on the Warriors
40 on the Eels

Averaging 33ppg, winning those 3 games, without Soward.

With Soward before that, they only scored:

10 on the Tigers
12 on the Sharks
30 on the Bulldogs
0 on the Storm
12 on the Raiders

Averaging 13ppg, winning only 1 of those games, with Soward. Disregarding the Bulldogs game (weak opposition) and the Storm game (the Ryles send-off), they have averaged only 11ppg and didnt't win any of those games.

Going off that, the Dragons score 3 times more points with Rogers rather than Soward.

I wouldn't be phucking with the team a week out from the finals.....


I agree with Brown on this one.

Ben Rogers must be pinching himself to make sure he's not dreaming. He gets cut by the Bunnies and now ends up with a gig as the preferred starting 5/8 for one of the form teams of the comp who could be in the top 4 by the end of this weekend. Lucky F*&ker!!!

Soward must be more than a little gutted at this stage though...... I wouldn't be surprised to see the Roosters get up tonight. If they do, you can guarantee Soward will be wearing 6 for the Dragons next week.....

True I thought he got off must have been someone else who got off then.

So Rovelli comes onto the bench and I guess he'll go into halfback rotation with Fien, although Rovelli did play as an interchange hooker when he first came to the club? Interesting.

I know the Dragons are getting the wins, and it is a difficult thing to do to change your team when you are winning. However, from what i've seen (and i've only seen him play in the Broncos & Warriors games), it would be a large stretch to say their recent run of form is due to his input. He has been all over the shop - kicking it out on the full, giving away penalties, getting tackled on the last, getting smashed, and generally not feeding his team that well. I don't think he has shown enough to warrant keeping his spot

I think Brown should try and get his best players on the field regardless of form and for mine Soward>Rogers.

Either that or wait till they lose then change him....Doubt

I'm guessing that this has already been discussed at length in another thread though so i'll leave it at that

Anyone want to tell me why Daine Laurie would be getting the arse? I haven't seen the Tigers for a couple of weeks but from what I heard/saw earlier he was about the only one putting in?
