Still no Anthony Quinn, no update on his injury, Tomane is improving though.
Be interesting to see who misses out when Proctor comes back, I didnt think Koopu was playing bad at all to be dropped. Hoffman should have been the one dropped imo.

Koopu is a waste of space!! he makes 30 metres a game??? How is that possible for a player who plays 60 mins a game???

[steaming stormer]

Hoffy is a victim of how good he was for the couple of years prior to last year I reckon.  He hasn't been going great this year, but he's certainly been improving the last few weeks, and performing well above the form of Koopu IMO.  Koopu is handy for depth, but he's not in our best 4 back rowers

[I love Cooper]

Umm.. is that our heritage jersey? What happened to last years one!

Not sure, thats the one i was hoping they would wear. Now they've gone back to the 2001 Away jersey.

We should have the white nike jersey we wore for our first trail!!!

man I loved that jersey

wtf? was one of our better forwards when we were struggling at the start of the season

[Bullets]

We are not seriously wearing that jersey are we? the one from last year was awesome

[I love Cooper]

Yeah I loved last years one!!

Spot on, Id had enough of Koopu by Rd3.

[nacho]

i dont see how scott anderson keeps earning a bench spot or emergency spot.

makes the same effect on the defensive line as a feather hitting a brick wall

[bunnies]

We spoke to Quinny after the game on Monday night at Bluetongue and he is still not a well boy, he appeared to have a headache and was twitchy, which is not good for him.

Also, today I recieved my Heritage jersey from the NRL for helping them with some web work earlier this year, and I love it! Brings back happy memories of Marcus!

Cheers

Mate you don't know what you are talking about..he has the least impact out of all our forwards, he is only good if we have no other choice but don't really think he will be anywhere in our 17 with Manu, white, hoffy, blair, lima, proctor, and hinchcliff.

I just can't get over the fact that he makes the lest metres for playing 60 mins?

[Stormwarning[c]]

We are wearing the 2001 Purple jersey (as posted back in Feb/March. on here)

Each year a different heritage jersey will be picked based on where we are playing....i.e. home or away.

Will be interesting to see how many dig there old jerseys out for Monday night.
