Cyril the Sub?

[HolyRioli]

As is (sadly) well documented, Cyril has been struggling for years now with his hamstring issues. With his potential fitness towards the finals, do you think a case could be mounted for Cyril to be the nominated sub throughout the finals series?

He would bring a lot coming off the bench fresh late into a game, as hopefully it would be mean that we would be able to get the most out of him without compromising his hamstrings.

Or do we think he'll slide straight back into the starting 21?

A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for.

What ad is that line from?

 

[Gunstall19]

I don't mind the idea in theory. Then I remember how well it went for Judd.

 

[MrFujiMoto]

If Cyril is fit, he plays a full game. he can turn a game in no time. Can't do that if he is on the pine.

 

[Hawkinspired]

Should we have a full list to choose from, I think our sub role is between Simpkin and Hartung. I'd rather Hartung for a full game if it was required, but Simpkin does often find the goals.

 

[cryptor]

Will be far too tempting to have him play a full game if he's available to play at all.

Handy sub if that's the path they take though.

 

[Hodginator]

Isn't the whole problem with his hammys the fact that he is a burst player? And the idea of the sub is meant to be a burst/impact role?

I have visions of subway releasing the Cyril Sub.
Would it have turtle in it?

Would be delicious

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Nahhhhh, he plays the game but tries not to put himself into hammy-tweaking situations.

Bruce would love to wrap his mouth around a Cyril sub.

Getting creepy visuals of the ad right now.

 

[Gene Simmons]

How about Cyril as a permanent forward?

 

[Cynic]

I like it. I'm not sure we can have both Puopolo & Rioli as predominantly stay at home defensive forwards.

Only thing will be making sure he stays warm but I'd imagine it's easier to keep his hamstrings loose for a quarter rather than a full game.

Does anybody really know?
For me I think its a guess to why it happens and lots of people say it and it becomes the truth.

 

[JeddaB]

Rioli as permanent small forward.
Poppy to float between middle and back.

 

[TyHawk]

Lycra bike shorts underneath or even two of them if it means it keeps the Hammies warm!! Sub against the Cats and Pies and then......Release the Krakken!!! I mean CYRIL!

Couldnt have said any better.

 

[MistyAvalon]

There is a lot to be said for keeping him safe though! Since he damn well won't look after himself

 

[MrPremiership]

The Cyril Sub?

Delicious

Include Breust in the rotation with short bench times just to confuse the opposition defenders and coaching panel.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Play him at FF

ONLY TIME HE PLAYED THERE, HE KICKED 5 and won us the game (think it was vs Melbourne in 09)

Send roughead to CHF, gunston to the flank

Couldn't have put it better myself!.....Traditionally it's always the 4th game in a row where Cyril pings his hammy!

This particular schooner has already spent way too much time in the dry dock over these past 3 seasons!

Add smartarse half smile.

Cyril needs to prove he can last the finals, but then im not deciding am I ?
