I hope we've been putting serious effort working on defending against the kick in.

Will not be needed.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Will not be needed.

We’re not going to kick any behinds?

 

[ant555]

We’re not going to kick any behinds?

No. All goals.

 

[fairbump_playon]

[owen87]

Hobbs is a decent size already, not much lighter than Parish when they stand together, should fill out to a really strong Taylor Adams

'Probabells' backline aswell

 

[Lore]

Goal for Fejo (red)

Red: 19
Black: 7

 

[owen87]

Fejo moves really nicely.

Also Lord is seriously fast, made up acres on Fejo at full tilt (though not enough to save the goal).

 

[owen87]

Mid-quarter stop for a drinks break. Are we watching the NBA now?

 

[Kyptastic]

Parish and Merrett picking right up from where they left off last year

 

[Keystone agony]

Hobbs is a decent size already, not much lighter than Parish when they stand together, should fill out to a really strong Taylor Adams type build.

Looks like we might be trying to find a spot inside for him by playing a Merrett and Mcgrath off half back

Merrett can certainly play a more outside role, he's best as the 2nd or 3rd possession in a chain IMO.

Don't think we'll see Hobbs playing big minutes in the middle this year, but his build should mean he doesn't get pushed around too easily, and I can see him being a seriously strong body by his 3rd season.

Not sure he can play foward thats all. Thats YTD

Mid-quarter stop for a drinks break. Are we watching the NBA now?

I think its 19 v 19 so probably no rotations?

 

[Keystone agony]

Caldwell looks really good

 

[JT_the_Man]

Caldwell has had a good few minutes here.
