[Towno78]

Both Stringer and Conor in would be a huge boost.

 

[Runk]

Massive in

 

[maskmcgee]

He's still got beef with the Swans. Will fire the boys up.

 

[akiva]

Just park him in the forward line and let him work his magic!

Midfield is doing fine without him. Also don't know how much running he's been doing in the last two weeks..

It’s a fine idea but I get the feeling that Jake gets into the game playing some midfield minutes. It makes him more dangerous when forward. I’d love to just park him forward and watch him kick 6 but there would be just as much chance of him not getting into the game.

It's a good point, should get a feel for it first.

We've been getting enough inside-50's but having trouble generating enough scores from them (complete opposite from last year). Hence why we need players like Stinger and Fantasia up forward doing their thing.

 

[JayJ20]

Increases our chances of winning this, but I'm not expecting him to play well. Does he usually take time to adjust after coming back from injury?

 

[Keystone agony]

When he goes forward he will get Rampe which is an extremely tough defender to get a goal on usually comes through free kicks and with the hate for us lately im not sure that will go well.

Id start him onball with Zerrett off the back square. Stringer to start in the action an early touch or two would get him involved and Zerrett maybe his best way to avoid the Hewett tag (Although i dont think yiu really can)

 

[Bombermania]

I would just start him in the forward line, only moving him into the middle if needed.

If he's fit, he's fit. Therefore play him as such

Its not so much his fitness, the forward line is a bit thin at the moment with a few out.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Some of this tomorow

And this

 

[CBombers17]

Im still cut about Smac but this takes a bit of pain away. Huge in for us.

 

[Alfred E Neuman]

Knedliki

 

[windyhill]

My boy is back. Hopefully back to his piss taking ways.

 

[HirdyLannister]

Dominanting ruck...

 

[windyhill]

Good hitout for The Great Man.

 

[vast]

* he is hard to bring down in a tackle. Just needs to work on the way he disposes of it from congestion a bit.
Seems to just hack it forward most times, easier said than done with 3 blokes hanging off him I know.

 

[Beerfish]

Twice as many hitouts as Dawson.

 

[Bombermania]

Played injured yet still contributed

 

[eth-dog]

Slow start but worked into it well

 

[Howard Moon]

Was on one leg.

Clearly still inj but must not be a tear if they keep risking it?

Gotta be Stewart next week I think

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Interesting choice to give him the Grigg role. Thought he did it quite well.

 

[Beerfish]

Was good in the ruck.
