Looks like Dadi is signing......so all you media w**kers that spread the rumour that the club is having financial difficulties. STICK THAT UP you. Clubs don't enter the player market if they are having money problems!!!!!

I personally think Lochy has been quite average lately so i am going to change things up a little.

Oops, forgot to say its harsh on Lia, but i do not see him keeping his place ahead of ricki favourite Brown.

Two passes to Cacera, two goals.

I can't see McKain playing anywhere other than at the back.

How's my driving? - Whine here

[QUOTE=Hard News]Two passes to Cacera, two goals.

Must of been the only two passes which found feet (assuming your talking about Lochy here) which would surprise me particularly for the second goal which was scored on the right hand side of the box... and after Caceras had toyed with them for an age.
 
But hey if we look far enough back...

If he's fit enough, I'd like to see Dadi start, because the thing we've been lacking most this season is some one big and solid up front for our rediculous amount of nimble ball players.

Why take out Mckain straight away? hes inform where is Siggy may be a bit rusty? plus why no Caceras? He had quite a good game against CCM. And may up the ainty at home. he had a better game than Leo.

Would also like to note that it will be Reddys' first game (for the nix) at the ROF (and potencially Dadis'). So lets really get the chants going to make him feel at home. Shogan2010-01-04 21:29:03

Well perhaps you are right and you could swap the players you mention. My main wish is for the 2 up front.

I think that is mosts wish. But it is a bit of a dilema as Leo can also up his game whilst infront of the fever. So .......... how you sleeping Ricki?

nice to have some genuine selection decisions for Ricki to make as players come back into contention, Caceras finds form, and the big lad arrives

cool

i totally agree with whoever said to replace lochhead. he religiously gives the ball away! very very frustrating.

Next week??? Injuries, suspensions...

It's a big game, but I think Brisbane are ripe for the picking this time.

Manny Muscat to be nowhere near Tommy Oar please. Hearfield perhaps?

 No way would i leave Lia out of the starting side. Don't think ricki will rush Dadi into the starting line up, give him a go off the bench first.  Not sure how he is going to play it this weekend.. will greenie be ready? If so i'd go with the below, Muscat unlucky..

dadi has to be in the mix somewhere, even off the bench he'd be useful.....

Troy looks the better option - and he seems to have matured a lot this season - hopefully he'll stay controlled v Oar

I thought the same up until he recently retaliated against an opposition player (Sydney game I think) when he took exception to the ref not blowing for a foul on Troy by the opposition player.
 
No doubt more mature than he was but still a bit of growing up left to do - Oar could easily get under his skin so hopefully Troy will be given the message before the game on controlling his emotions.
 
 
 
He dribbles a lot and the opposition dont like it - you can see it all over their faces. (Ron Atkinson)

I rec,kon hearfield is the better option. and has been playing well enough to keep the rb spot, his pace is more suited to keeping Oar under wraps anyway.

Pretty sure Oar played cental in the hammering from Gold Coast.

Was pretty much non-existant.

I don't think Siggy deserves a starting spot after his indiscretion cost him 3 games, we were just lucky JM was ready to come back, but he's gotta be on the bench this time.
These things seem to work themselves out so if Lia gets a yellow and goes for two games then Siggy comes back and JM moves forward. Sorted.
