Yep. That's his weapon. Numbers around the contest wins the contest more often than not and Lippa gets around the contest more often than any replacement would.
Hey fonzie. Bucks and Maxwell going with WHE forward and Noble in. There might not even be a Frampton, interesting days ahead

Jesus! I've done backflips to convince myself that Frampton is the way to go and now they may go back to where I started. Just bring on Saturday. FFS.

Think this goes a fair way to explaining why we were so frustrated with team selection under Bucks!

I have far more confidence on the current selection committee picking a team that plays to our strengths.

FWIW - i wasn't on the Frampton bandwagon....but as long as he does not get out marked....thats a win. Doesn't matter how many goals he kicks, as long as when he's in the pack / contest....they don't get a clean mark. That was McStay's one wood and it largely went unnoticed.

Fly just announced Frampton will play.

So Fly hasn't exactly given us what role Billy plays except he's a like for like, for mine he won't be a lead up forward coz he isn't.

Good money he'll do a glove role on Andrews, won't be leading out to draw Andrews to give space to Checkers coz Andrews won't fall for it.

Just compete against him and lock him out of the game, don't give him any room, I also suspect that unless Bris can force us down the line it's unlikely we'll be bombing it i50.

That comes down to whether or not we can get our run game going, given we likely won't getting suffocated like we did against gws, or at least not the same intensity.

If he plucks a couple against Harris, well that's a bonus, might even kick a couple (hope so).

Probably coz Billy isn't a forward. I've posted what I think the likely role for Billy is. Wear Andrews like a glove.
That is exactly why Bill was chosen. To keep Andrews occupied. And to help in ruck/defence if/when required. He wasn't picked to be the full forward & kick a bag.

Billy F gives us options if we need plan B (Howe fwd) or C (take him or Cameron off for the sub).
Plan A seems likely to be him trying to negate Andrews, as has been discussed. I'm not convinced he can do that well, but with McStay & Ash J out...
Also, McInerney worries me, so having another ruck option to run him around could help.

Our 3 big boys need to do a tag team on McInerney and wear him down.
Who can forget how he pantsed McStay because Cox & Cameron were out injured.
