Rather take pot shots at a pretty s**t stop-gap player, or address serious deficiencies within the team?
Gave up on the second option a long time ago

Bird and Robertson were injured in the reserves, Naismith, Heeney and McGlynn are coming back from injuries via the reserves.

What depth to people seem to think we have to drop players let alone replace Buddy and Tippett for 6 days time?

We don't have a choice though. At a minimum we need to bring in 2 players, possibly 3 or 4 based on how bad some of the performances were. There is no way Shaw should play next week given that performance but there is no chance Longmire is going to drop him.

God no, don't want Heeney & Mitchell rushed back. Heeney didn't even play last week and neither did Ben.

In: BJ, Towers
Out: Tippett, Franklin

Drop him for who? A mythical player that isn't on our senior list. We are already struggling to cover two possible outs and you want to drop more. Christ who is available that is fit and on our senior list?
 
Longmire is not going to (and rightly so) drop multiple players eg 4-5 on the back of one loss (yes it was shite) but we are still a side pushing for top 2 dont forget, which is hard after watching that

If he is forced to take buddy and tippett out, he probably just brings in Pyke if fit and robinson (or mcglynn heeney if fit)

He will back them to bounce back

Pyke is 4-6 and Robinson did his ankle today.

Who are the three ruckmen?

(So called ruckmen)

Oh I forgot about Tippett being potentially suspended and got Nankervis confused with Naismith haha.
