As much as i think that fraser is injured.

I would be massively surprised if he pulled out.

 

[smiddaz123]

Fantastic. Exactly what I hoped for.

 

[favourites]

MM will never learn.

 

[Brahma Bull]

Excited about Reid, great team

 

[hellfire]

MM will never learn.

Agreed.

Reid is underdone.

I think that's what you're referring to?

 

[Optimax]

MM will never learn.

bringing in reid after 3 weeks no game time? yeah not the best idea but we just need a contest thats all he doesnt need to kick ten

We just want ried there so setanta, waite and thronton all have men. If juts one is loose all day it will hurt

 

[Dave The Man]

MM will never learn.

What don't you like about the Team,

Wood Should be instead of Reid?

 

[favourites]

Yep ie Reid. Did anybody watch the Kangaroos game. That selection basically cost us the game because he wasnt match fit. And MM has done it again. Let him play some VFL before we bring him in.

I agree he was poor against the roos.

But this is slightly differnt last time, reid was unfit and difnt play due to injury (hip) i think he trained twice before the game, in this case he has still trained and only missed games as he was an emergency at least this time he wont be blowing at half time.

3 ruckmen = no thanks.

 

[didaka]

Reid should be raring and ready to go and have an impact after being forced to watch from the sidelines for 2 weeks while fit. This is his big chance.

 

[Lazyboy]

The chopper has been training in secret with a few X SAS memebers, they have tought him how to kill with one finger. the weapon is unleashed sunday, dont bring your kids.

 

[frantelle]

guys its not as if reid wouldnt have been doing simulation match stuff as a result of not playing
im sure they have thought of this

 

[HFF]

I think it's a very balanced side.

Although we have been in terrific form over the past month we have generally gone in with the 1 tall up forward in Cloke.

Personally I'm a big fan of the 3 talls up forward structure (that's where Rusling was pivotal) so bringing in Reid is justified and provides Cloke with some assistance down there and Reid can also stretch the Blues' defence.

Pendles is a wonderful inclusion and automatically deserves a spot yet, I thought Cooky was stiff. He'll get another crack at it this year as he is one for the future.

 

[magpies42]

am very happy with that side, i wouldnt want to see bryan dropped (especially against his old team)!

Reid should have an easier initiation to the year against the blues backs...

 

[Ron]

Yay Reid is in, makes me happy

 

[alfiiee]

Wood Should be instead of Reid?

yes 100%

and rotate Fraser and Bryan up foward leaving wood in the ruck

Reid hasnt proven himself yet and now his chances are becoming limited..

i hope he has a day out i really want to see him become a great player for us but i just cant see it

 

[Bay Pie]

i hope he has a day out i really want to see him become a great player for us but i just cant see it

Give Reid a chance. He is 14 days older then Matthew Kreuzer. He is basically a 1st year player in age trying to play KP.

 

[CENTERMAN]

yes 100%

and rotate Fraser and Bryan up foward leaving wood in the ruck

Reid hasnt proven himself yet and now his chances are becoming limited..

i hope he has a day out i really want to see him become a great player for us but i just cant see it

Totally agree, given that we have Wood i would rather see Fraser forward than Reid ATM. I'd like Reidy to kick a few bags in the lower level first, which from all reports he will one day.

 

[magpies42]

very good point, ppl are very impatient!

people said the same thing about cloke when he was in the 2s halfway through his 2nd season. It is a ridiculous call for a player so young. He has been one of our best in the 2s this year and has hardly been fit and had shocking service from this mids. He will be a very good player

 

[Smoky]

Reid cant convert... and cant handle preasure (not that Ive seen anyway) - I hope he proves me wrong this week, but i really dont thinks he's up to this level.
