Re: NAB Cup Round 1- Sydney vs Gold Coast vs GWS

Ah I see it's stickied with the announcements, are all games stickied? No wonder I havn't been reading any info from this site.

Please delete the thread

Good sign for McNeil. Off to a good start in his bid to find a spot on the senior list.

 

[robbieando]

So who come out of the squad before match day?

Re: NAB Cup Round 1- Sydney vs Gold Coast vs GWS

Question, do we keep calling Western Sydney with the Greater in front, or just WS Giants?

 

[SM]

West Sydney Giants rolls off the tongue better so I'll probably be calling them that on the night. Or just bogans. Whichever comes more naturally.

I was under the impression we were allowed to use 29 over the two matches?

No one is coming out, we're going to rotate the 3 emergencies from the first game into the second game. As for guesses as to who might take the role of emergency in one of the games, it'll probably consiste of those who didn't play last week (e.g. Jack) and maybe some of the less likely to play in round 1 (e.g. Currie)

It looks like a very strong side for this time of year!

I have a feeling that both Lamb and Parker will get as much gametime as possible...

But apart from that looks to be a great side on paper Looking forward to seeing Johnston and Reid tear it up in the forward line for us.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Goodes play out of the middle, put Reid at CHF and rotate Seaby/Pyke/Currie through full forward. We're more likely to do that with our second ruckman throughout the season proper due to the sub rule.

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

very exciting

looking forward to seeing how Dylan McNeil goes in his 1st big game

and currie of course

I wasn't sure of the squad sizes for the matches and if we were able to make any changes to our squad. So thanks, seem a good reasonable squad.

Looking forward to Rohan in the Backline

 

[swansfan51]

Looks good but Pyke should be starting ahead of Seaby. Deserves incumbency based on late season and intra-club form

I was thinking the same thing, I guess they may be taking a stronger approach to the NAB Cup this year.

HEY! Not all people from the West are bogans, for example myself.

 

[SM]

Those that support West Sydney are.

 

[Swans120]

I'm actually really looking forward to a rivalry being built. Was skeptical in the first few months of GWS' existence but I'm really up for it now. And GWS' decisions to employ Sheedy and Mark Williams have been top notch. Sheedy will be surely doing barely any coaching and all PR work while Chocco will be doing the coaching. Sheedy sure can create public interest.

 

[AussieFTW]

I wish I could go, guys.. Still it's probably going to be a year or so till we can compete with you! Carn the Greater Western Giants!

Yer I think the "Greater" was adopted until the "Giants" was named as the sides name

I can understand Sydney folk jumping on board, but why if you from Melbourne? You have essendon also listed, is that you Sheeds?

How cool would it be to see a Paul Bevan pull one of his hard nut tackles out on a scrawny GWS kid and bury him 6 feet under with his pounding to the ground....

The lad from Sydeny West destroys West Sydney.

 

[cherub]

The intelligence necessary to make that statement is nil. Thankfully, not all Swans supporters are Eastern Suburbs/North Shore private school educated, over indulged brats of limited life experience. But some people think they are. You don't make your own team's position/reputation stronger by showing disrespect to other teams. Grow up.

Actually i think it would be better to see either Bevan or Jack lay a huge bump on Karmichael Hunt and Hunt stays down for around 30 seconds.
