It looks like Glenn could be out for an extended period, the nrl website is saying he could be out of action for up to 6 weeks.

I think we should go with this lineup for the game against the Eels on Saturday:

01. Hoffman
02. Winterstein
03. Gillett
04. Folau
05. Yow Yeh
06. Lockyer
07. Wallace
08. Tronc
09. McCullough
10. Setu
11. Te'o
12. Thaiday
13. Parker

14. Hunt
15. Kenny
16. Sims
17. McGuire/Dodds
 
Good side, I would drop Kenny and let McGuire have a run. kenny needs to play around in Qcup for a few weeks.
 
When is our next bye? I'd like to see Locky get a rest at some point, he didn't get one during our previous bye.
 
What about Anderson? He only missed this week as a precaution for his bruised ribs?

I'd have him as 17.

Our next bye is the week of Origin 3 ... so we don't have to have our players back up after origin
 
I would go with this side because Eels have a very good pack plus im sick of two hookers its pissing me off

1. Hoffman
2. Winter
3. Gillet
4. Folau
5. Yow Yeh
6. Lockyer
7. Wallace
8. Tronc
9. McCollough
10. Setu
11. Teo
12. Thaiday
13. Parker
14. Anderson
15. Kenny
16. Sims
17. Dodds/McGuire

McGuire should get a run. He was outstanding against the Rabbits. I hope ivan doesnt go with two hookers again.
 
If Kemp plays well for Easts I would think about getting him on the left wing, Kenny will start and Anderson should be on the bench if fit.. McGuire in for Dodds because he will add more punch in attack...

I disagree, not only does Hunt playing off the bench help his development, but the simple fact is that we haven't got a hooker at the club the can play 80mins.
 
Last night confirmed my opinion that Nick Kenny should go nowhere near the first grade side unless some sort of Prop-virus goes through the club and he is the last option left...

Didnt Mac play 80mins last year. So when Hodges is fit you would have Hunt on the bench? Which means Gillet and Glen will more then likely be on the bench which means 1 prop? That bench would fail
 
I'd go with this side.

Kenny needs some time in Q-cup to get his feet again.

01. Hoffman
02. Winterstein
03. Gillett
04. Folau
05. Yow Yeh
06. Lockyer
07. Wallace
08. Tronc
09. McCullough
10. Setu
11. Te'o
12. Thaiday
13. Parker

14. Hunt
15. Anderson
16. Sims
17. McGuire

I agree with this side, and would have Gillett and Te'o alternate between centre and 2nd row, to give each a bit of rest and allow their explosive capacity to last the whole game.

I like this team too. Kenny needs some time in the QLD Cup to blow the cobwebs out.

1 bad/very short display in his first game back from a long injury has made to come to this opinion? Jeez, I would hate to hear your opinion on some other things.

Nick Kenny is some what of Myth a bit like Ashton Sims, although Kenny seems to get a very good run in the side.
 
No doubt that Kenny tries hard but he just seems to easily pushed back or flipped onto his back, way more than a top level prop should be.

I agree (again). But one more chance to show he has what it takes to go-forward and not backward.

And Winters has had it for mine. He's just lost it. He's the one due for a spell in Qld cup.

Hoffman
Kemp (at least give him a spell to see if he has more impact that Winterstein)
Gillett
Folau
Yow Yeh
Lockyer
Wallace
Tronc
Hunt
Setu
Te'o
Thaiday
Parker

McCullogh
Anderson
Kenny
Sims

My opinion is based on his performances in 85% of the games he plays...he's an average prop at best and we hve much better optionsthan him going around
