1. Aitken (machine. Keeps running, keeps tackling.)
Manly will also be fired up after the capitulation this round. But imagine what might have been if we had done what we absolutely should have done and beat Newcastle.Last night was such an important win after dropping last week’s match against Newcastle. Next week against Manly will be a really tough one - especially with Herbie, Hanmer and Flegler still out - so a loss last night would have made three losses in a row a real possibility. By year’s end there could be six or seven teams fighting for the last couple of finals spots so right now you take two points however you can get them. This team has shown great heart while down on troops and that’s a great sign for if/when we can get something approaching the best 17 on the paddock
Big Val, the next man up? I guess they could shuffle Aitken into that spot but he is a momentum killer attack wise. Hopefully Te Whare gets a shot. He just might turn it on.Tesi Niu will go for scans on a right ankle injury. Video shows fairly typical syndesmosis injury/high ankle sprain mechanism - toes get stuck in the turf and turn foot out. Results in two lower leg bones (tibia/fibula) being stretched apart. Multi-week recovery likely.
i reckon they put conelly thereJosh Kerr

They would be better leaving Val out of the side completely, not fit enough or good enoughJosh Kerr

excatly and they have keeley who can go in 4 connie or euan to go to backsThey would be better leaving Val out of the side completely, not fit enough or good enough
128 m from 8 carries last night along with a LB and 7 TB's. It's only Q Cup but not the kind of stats produced by someone who is horribly unfit.They would be better leaving Val out of the side completely, not fit enough or good enough
yeah against the team thats sitting second last and has no affialtion to a nrl side128 m from 8 carries last night along with a LB and 7 TB's. It's only Q Cup but not the kind of stats produced by someone who is horribly unfit.
He can only play what's in front of him. I'm not exactly Val's biggest fan but he is capable of providing impact. I'm tipping that he gets selected on Tuesday.yeah against the team thats sitting second last and has no affialtion to a nrl side
No team does that especially during an injury crisis. They'll be picking the best available.they be only using players that be there next year you would think
Just can't catch a break, excuse the pun. He was really good while he was on yesterday as well.Tesi Niu will go for scans on a right ankle injury.

Hmmm not a bad idea just as long as they leave Aitken in the backrow. He's been really good there. Moving him might ruin in rythem.i reckon they put conelly there
I was a fan and hoped he'd make it but his weight has gone back up. I don't think you can play him unless you plan to only have him play about 50min and then have someone replace him at centre.Big Val, the next man up?
