I suppose Iro can do what he likes - its his last game in charge and probably his last for the club.

 

[Sup42]

They said that there would be a serious R/V of where the team has gone wrong,

Well after they culled BLuey , I'm glad Iro has the nuts to send the same message to the players. I can imagine a number of players will be playing for their contracts next year.

 

[ajofbrisbane]

Maloney 18th man...great send off in his last game.

 

[wallacenz]

Surprised Brown made the team this week if Iro is willing to cut Maloney.

Maloney 18th man...great send off in his last game.

Excellent, I'm glad. Just wish Brown had been left out too at the expense of Ikahihifo just to prove a point. Those 2 have not dug in at all in their last season at the club when the going has got tough. Fuck em.

 

[Ranger]

Henry to kick goals?

 

[Lord Gnome of Howick MBE]

I wouldn't have played Maloney or Brown for the last three games.

 

[Lord Gnome of Howick MBE]

Henry to kick goals?

As if we're gonna score a try!

 

[ajofbrisbane]

Henry to kick goals?

Pretty sure Carlos can kick goals

 

[Est95]

Matulino ay I thought he was gone for the season? What a wacky halves combo lol

 

[Sup42]

This selection just goes to show that the guys responsible for implementing the game plan under two coaches were not listening.

Where does that leave Johnson next year ?

Where he belongs.

Having to force his way past Tuimavave Godinet and Leiuluai

 

[jsmooove]

So brown is the replacement hooker?

 

[Matt13-1]

Would like to see Ikahihifo get a run, hes off contract at the end of the season isn't he?

 

[Raurimu Massive]

Big Ben's back way earlier than I thought. Shit I hope they can send Lucky off well - they don't even have to win, just play like they want to. I'm actually quite bloody happy with that team there; pity they weren't named 15 rounds ago though - might have knocked some of the slackers into place.

Would like to see Ikahihifo get a run, hes off contract at the end of the season isn't he?

Yeah instead of the heartless slob Brown.......

 

[MarkW]

Well, you can't accuse Iro of being boring at least.

Mateo/Godinet will make an interesting combo. Will it work? Who knows!

Luck deserves to go out on a win at least. The boys better step up for him.

 

[KingBubz]

Matulino ay I thought he was gone for the season? What a wacky halves combo lol

Hmmm thats what I thought as well, didnt even believe it when I saw him out on the field last week... Thought I must have been tripping or too drunk and seeing things but obviously not...Its great to see Big Benny Mutts back out there again

 

[David James]

Wow...

Just wow...

Classless to send Maloney out like this.

Most mental team of the year?

It's like an impatient fan on a forum has posted the team list for this week!

 

[Raurimu Massive]

Shit I'm actually looking forward to the game now. Haven't been able to say that for a couple of months.
