Luke Burgess looked decent for Manly this morning. Wasn't there rumours of him coming back over last year? He'd be a good replacement when Leuluai finally packs it in.

Delaney was a disaster of of centre when we signed him in that position. If you didn't like Golding you would be best moving briscoe to centre with Hanley on the wing. Ablett makes a centre, but for me leave them both in the forwards.

As for Golding he isn't cack, he wasn't as bad as you make out, he only played 2 career SL games great chance you give him glad your not in charge at Leeds!!!
The Aussies rate him very highly will take their opinion over your "he's cack" review after being thrown late into a difficult game!

Golding first SL game on Friday night

Thought he played against London last year? Either way my point still stands. I thought he did ok and 1 or 2 games is far too early to be calling him cack, give the lad a chance

My bad!


In my defence I had tried to forget about that game

Watching back the Roosters/Rabbitohs game would rather have George...

Against Eels in round 1 he was non existant on the pitch

Ashton Golding is only going to get better by playing games, it isn't ideal circumstances his opportunity has arisen, but I thought he did reasonable well on Friday. To be calling him a liability and writing him off is quite frankly embarrassing.

Ash Handley was terrible last year against London lets get rid also

Against wigan assuming zak and moon are unavailable I'd go with

1. Golding
2. Briscoe
3. Watkins
4. Ablett
5. Hall
6. Sinfield
7. Mcguire
8. Cuthbertson
9. Aiton
10. Singleton
11. Ward
12. Jjb
13. sutcliffe
Subs
Burrow, peacock, delaney, Kylie/ Yates/ mulhern

An option I wouldn't mind seeing is Handley on the wing with briscoe at centre. And we all kno sinfield will retain the stand off position

He did.

Friday was his first SL start rather than SL debut.

To describe Golding, or his performance on Friday, as cack is utter ted lunacy.

Exacally. I didn't think he was too bad on Friday and will only get better. Certainly didn't let himself down. The mind boggles how some can write off a 18yr old kid on 1 first team performance, which wasn't even a bad one!!

If, and granted its a big IF, Hardaker is back available and Moon is out, could we see....

1, Golding
2, Briscoe
3, Watkins
4, Hardaker
5, Hall

In those circumstances Hardaker would be fullback, Briscoe centre and Holding wing, I think.

Isn't the concussion rule 6 days though? Moon would be available if all else well with him.

Goulding not Holding. Wrong club/era/position/sport.
