Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2730394, member: 1899"] I remember liking the look of Garvey when he was in the Dragons NYC side a few years back. He's a really busy hooker who loves to play around with the markers. He's made some mistakes off the field, but if Hasler can work his magic he could be one of the finds of the season (ala Cook). Will be interested to see how Holland goes. Didn't really see a lot of him, but from what I heard, he was one of the stars of that Knights NSW Cup side. Newcastle fans are very quick to put all their problems on Wayne, but if Holland holds his own on Thursday it just highlights how poorly the club went after Wayne left. As expected, Lachlan Croker comes in for Blake Austin. He's still raw, but in broken play he's lethal and can tear teams apart. On the weekend, he brought the Raiders to life with a 90m try after the Panthers had been all over them. I reckon he'll turn some heads this season. Brown shows some balls early and drops Snowden. Good on ya Nathan, Snowden has been a colossal disappointment since 2012 and his effort on Sunday wasn't good enough. I'm glad Barrett has tinkered with his prop forwards. Maybe Leary is unlucky to be dropped, but the Sea Eagles were completely dominated in that department and need to show more steel in the middle. I don't know what to make of Taupau as an edge backrow, I don't think he has much of a future in the role but against Wests maybe he'll tear them apart? If Manly lose here, it could be a long season - and after the Tigers performances I wouldn't be surprised to see them cause another upset. As a club, they have a habit of registering a few upset wins to start the season before falling into a heap. Monday night is as good a chance as any to keep that trend going. Game of the Round? I'm going with Roosters v Raiders - it's going to be really open footy. I'm expecting a big game from Nikorima who didn't really play that badly on Sunday. [/QUOTE]
