Am I the only one thinking no Todd Carney is a good thing?

He's been a great player but either not as good any more or just not up to speed at the moment. The trusted halfback partnership of Atkin and Mags in the Toronto game actually makes me feel a bit better. Plus Masoe being back of course. Can't wait for him to flatten Simms.

Still nervous about the result, but playing a line up that started to show some good results at the end of the regular season should help us get some shape back.

I think your opinion of carney being great could apply to our coach as well.!

Atkin and mags at half all day until Carney proves he’s better which he hasn’t so I’d stick with them two only bad thing about Carney not been in tommy lee will be starting at 9 :/

Tommy Lee does a lot of the donkey work in the first 20 to allow Lunt to do his stuff he just seems to be one of those players who can’t do anything right in some fans eyes

Whilst I agree Lee soaks up the pressure early on, he is average at best in attack. He has a slow play of the ball. Why? Well he always points where the ball is going to go, waits for a second so the opposition also knows where it's going and then eventually plays the ball exactly as he indicated. Therefore he's slow and actual helps the opposition slightly.

Apart from that he's pretty average, but yes, it does mean Lunt looks even more awesome when he (or anyone who can play at dummy half) replaces him.

If Lawler was fit, Lee wouldn't even make the 19.

The biggest thing about this game is that the backroom staff need to have thoroughly researched and solved the problem of the travel.
If we've done that properly and decide to stick to the game plan, we'll win.

He never seems to run out of acting half aswell just passes straight from the floor instead of jumping out like all good hookers do ... Lunt looks very far from his best though not sure if he’s 100 percent fit I like lawler at 9 then Lunt of the bench that worked well the sooner he’s back the better
