McEwen will be tested on defense especially for someone of his size, however, he's very quick and good with ball in hands. Very decent team.

Is the first week Ata has been played at 2?

Hmm without them very simply team to defend if your disciplined which Joeys teams tend to be. McLean to 14 surprises me. I’d be more inclined to put him at 12, 15 and get ball in his hands.

The issue is Farr Jones was going to be the replacement 15 for Rodwell, so having them both injured at the same time is extremely incovenient. Although you could definitely switch Talis and McLean

Think so, played 2 the whole of last year though.

New have made a lot of changes. Two are forced ( injuries ) but the rest may be the coach pushing the red button after 2 losses ( they were close ). Not sure it will pay off but I'll still back them as I'm hoping for an upset tip !

Big loss for the boys from Stanmore.
I Wish them a speedy recovery.

I would have D. Lua @ 12, C. Mclean @ 13, M. Cleverly @ 15 and L. Avati @ 14.

I'm fine with both the centers, Martin at 11 is a little bit daunting but i think Casey McLean plays his best footy on the wing (he scored 4 tries in 3 games on the wing last year).

 

[Love2Scrum]

I will ask his dad tomorrow.

I’m led to believe that he should be back for Round 2

Is L. Avati injured?

 

[dusk]

Is L. Avati injured?

Don't think so, but i'm pretty certain baxter warner is injured who was likely another player that could easily replace most positions in the backline. Stanley Martin was an athletic runner for the athletics last year competing in multiple events. He should be alright.

 

[Bad Intentions]

That was last week mate.

Thanks Joker. I’m glad someone on the same wave length.

Jokers fearless Match of the Round Culinary Review

Kings v Riverview @ The bottom Paddock

This match has been eagerly been waited for some time. The sellers of Sydney finest picnic baskets have been priming their wicker wonders to be show off their wares to the ladies of Sydney’s north and west. While it is being played at the elegant “bottom paddock”, there is nothing bottom at all about the battle in the 4WD boots of the cars on the southern hill. Kings’ parents will naturally feel confident on home soil and are eager to break out the R.M. Williams boots and other assorted items to give them that country cred when they visit the big smoke. It is such a shame these are only worn on rugby weekends. But even so, the picnic basket they will be unleashing should make the Lane Cove Lunch Club Ladies quiver more than them watching Hugh Jackman’s rippled torso erupting from a bathtub. Kings have the advantage of a very stylish picnic basket menu that comes with woodfired flatbread, barra-masalata, Vannella Burrata with heirloom tomato, and olive tapenade, Long Paddock ‘Driftwood’ washed rind cheese, Toolunka Estate olives, lavosh, Drunken Sailor smoked tomato chutney, and strawberry and passionfruit trifle. All of course served from the boot of a Rolls Royce Phantom series 2. But…Lane Coves ladies will not be out done and have sat round the tables at Little Red Robin to nut out a response to this gastronomic onslaught. They have also been feeding their sons a steady diet of food from the local eatery Sunset Diner which best encapsulates the Riverview boy. This is a modern-day Miami-inspired pastel diner, which serves up delicious food like the Chicken Katsu burger as well as fresh salads with add-ons like seared tuna and crispy chicken. Perfect for the growing altar boys. The mothers though will be hoping to spring a surprise on the Kings Cattle Maidens with their own picnic baskets. I have it from a known View insider that they will be dishing a charcuterie board of wagyu bresaola, mortadella and hot salami, grissini Woodside goat's curd, truffle honey, pane carasau, a selection of cheeses, crackers, apple jelly and dry dates, mixed olives, focaccia, and a couple of barrel-aged Negronis for good measure. All of course served from the boot of a Purosangue. According to Ferrari, the Purosangue is the first four-door four-seater Prancing Horse model from the Italian automaker in its 76-year production history. A great present for young Monty when he graduates this year from View.

My tip…. Kings by three baguettes.

(Been a while....maybe a bit rusty so my apologies)
