ok, a thought has occured. does anyone know if there is any facility to change the make up of your top 25 due to long term injury? by my estimation, that would mean that we could replace if you like duffie and griffin and increase our available roster.

also, this 2nd tier cap think is ridiculous. unless clubs are going to put it out there in the media like the afl does with rookie lists then fans have every right to scratch there heads and feel frustrated that player x isn't getting a go. the club probably wants to play him but, aren't allowed and if it was clearly out there then we would be less annoyed by this process!

I have no idea how the 2nd tier cap works. I know it's complicated etc. I remember the Tigers wanted to play Brooks at the end of last season but were only able to for one game for whatever reason.

Onto Monday Night. Kelly has been ruled out and Ash Harrison might be back. So we actually might have a better halves pairing for a game for once :lol:

If we want to make the 8, this is a must win game.

Norrie - IN
O'Neill - Injured
Proctor - IN
Robinson - IN
Rose - IN
Slater - Injured
Smith - Origin
Tonumaipeia - IN
Waqa - IN
Weston - Injured


Rest of the squad:

Hunt - POSSIBLE
Kaufusi - POSSIBLE
Kennar - Injured
Mann - POSSIBLE
Munster - POSSIBLE
Roberts - POSSIBLE
Romelo - POSSIBLE
Walker - Injured

So, based on that and the above comment about the second tier cap, I guess we might have to be:

1.Mann
2.Waqa
3.Fonua
4.Robinson
5.Tonumaipeia
6.Hampton
7.Roberts
8.J.Bromwich
9.Hinchcliffe (c)
10.Norrie
11.Proctor
12.Harris
13.K.Bromwich

14.McLean
15.Glasby
16.Moors
17.Rose
I would have pretty much this team except Roberts out

1 Munster
6 Mann
7 hampton

I'm expecting a very miserly crowd at Robina on Monday too.

Which would be on a par with most Titan's home games.

So I had today off cause I'm working both days on the weekend so I got curious and went to training...was very very interesting...pretty sure I know how they will line up..maybe lol

1. Kurt Mann...trained at fullback the whole two hour session with Cam Munster wearing the reserves shirt the whole time

2. Sisa Waqa..starting

3. Hymal Hunt...looks like he will debut for Will if will doesn't get released

4. Mahe Fonua..starting

5. Young Tonumaipea...starting

6. Ben Hampton...did ALOT of kicking practice at the end of training for atleast 1/2 hour with all 4 coaches watching him including Frank Ponessi...it actully got kinda awkward to watch so I left and watched from swan st...he kicked to both sides of the field 40/20s and field goals

7. Ben Roberts...looked good leading the team around today..actually I was impressed

8. Jesse Bromwich...starting

9. Ryan Hinchcliffe...starting

10. Bryan Norrie...spent about 20 minutes at the start doing reserve work but moved back to the real team so nothing's changed there

11. Kevin Proctor...starting

12. Tohu Harris...starting

13. Kenny Bromwich...not sure about Kenny...Bellamy and adam obrian were not happy with something he did and they had a long talk to him about halfway through training and ended up wearing a reserves shirt for the second part...I did try and ask him as he left where he was playing but he ran off...he doesn't like me at the best of times so proberly would never tell me the truth if he did answer

Interchange

14. Joel Romelo...90% sure he will play???didn't look injured at all so he should be alright to play

15. Tim Glasby..pretty sure he will play...spent 90% of the whole session with out a reserves shirt on

16. Junior Moors...starting..bench I guess

17. George Rose...Georgie didn't train..not 100% sure if this was their main training session or not but I heard from one of the boys he was in Shitney till tomorrow morning for some family thing tonight

18. Felise Kaufusi...think he might debut..didn't have a reserves on at all...looked good

19. Cameron Muster...will be playing reserves unles something happens before Monday

20. Jordan McLean..spent 95% of the time training with the reserves??spoke to him and Bellamy has told him he needs a few weeks in reserves which he is just happy playing

21. Travis Robinson...didn't train...overheard Bellamy say he along with another player are part of the second tier problem...also it was his bday so may not have been training cause of that

Thank you as always Sally :D

I hope Romelo is back. I like him as the hooker when Smith is out.

Why does McLean need to play another game in the NSW cup. We need forwards who do forward to win games, he would really help us and the Titans have a few forwards missing. I do not understand the coaches thinking. Does this mean Cronk has to play NSW cup after 8 weeks out with injury.

Nice work as usual sallymay.
I read the baistand nearly every day to see what fellow storm fans are thinking but I rarely post.
I enjoy reading the regular people's comments on anything to do with the storm.
Keep up the good work .
Cheers
