There was a post on here by Stick it up your jumper that has now disappeared, claiming Moore was sent home from training. Any truth, or was it an error?

true...

Not sure what JK will do, but i would like to see Sam Obst play, seen as though he played in the game when Leon Walker sadley passed away.
I think it is a game in which Sam should be played in, only my opinion though.

Team should be selected to beat CC on form/merit and no other reason, i understand the view you've taken and don't disagree, but a fitting tribute must be a victory.

I understand what your saying, but my opinion, I would still play Sam, even though he hasn't had the best couple of games. But in the last game he put in 44 tackles and got M.o.m. and thats in a game were nobody had a good game.
I just want a victory to get us back on track, and a good team performance!

I am not saying don't play Sam, just play him because he deserves a shirt

After feeling so down lately at just about everything to do with the club and being topped off with the awful showing against Hudds, I'm feeling quite optimistic seeing that squad..

Fergy, Drew and Brough are massive bonuses coming back into the squad along with Stosic, who was great early doors and can be forgiven his poor display on Sunday, I'm sure he will have a far better game on Saturday and look like the player he was early on.

Would also like to see JD back in the pack and Winterstein be given a run-out.

Could be some beer money to be had on the coupon aswell I reckon..

Looking at the 19, I would leave out Rooney (with the exception of the tackle on Brown he hasn't played well) & Gleeson (looking totally out of his depth and could do with a spell in the reserves to rebuild his confidence).

I still think that JD could do with a week off to get rid of some of the pressure he's been playing with of late. If JK thought the same that would leave Gleeson on the wing & Grix to LF.

what is the constant criticism of rooney ??? only just back from injury after a long period out..people also slagged of danny brough for his kicking being crap when he first came back after injury...stosic only just back..it does take a bit of time to get match fit

I don't think anyone is having a 'Go at Rooney', but with Drew, Latu, Obst, Brough, Grix and even Martin as options at 6,7 and 9 as well as Rooney some of them have to miss out.

My personal opinion is that we need Drew at 9 and Brough at 7, and Obst for his tackling and enthusiasm at 6 to tighten up our leaky defence. Latu should spell at hooker which unfortunately doesn't leave a spot for Rooney.

What you have to ask yourself is what can Rooney do that Brough, Drew, Latu and Obst can't?

i would agree with all that. sam kicked one of the only 40 20's i've seen at belle vue this year. plays ok at 6.drew and tevita at 9 gives us good options. great kicking game with brough. i didn't think they were having a go at rooney mate. i just think the guy should be given a fair crack at the whip and we all should try and be a bit more positive. i think we will go ok this year, once we get back on the rails.

I agree i think Rooney has done very well considering he's been out for so long amd with more game time we'll see a big improvement. Unfortunately for Rooney he's come into a team disrupted by a lack of confidence, some injuries resulting in players playing out of position and the off the pitch fiasco.

If true is it linked to the rumours of fighting in training the other day?
