Browne to Debut

[Beloved]

Did I read correctly last night on the 'Footy Show' that Browne was making his debut this weekend? If so, the best of luck to the guy, we need another guy of his size in our line-up. Best of luck.

I think I also saw inclusions of Grigger, Setanta and one other, anyone care to help me out?

Adam Bentick has also been named and Hampson dropped

That's the other one, the Ticker.

I think Hampson's injured, I don't think he's playing for the Ants either (I may be wrong?).

He is not injured, he is playing for the Ants.

Cheers for that correction.

I didn't think he was too bad last weekend... how has Russel still been named, yet Hammer out?

Pretty frustrating isn't it?

He wasn't bad last week, just didn't get much gametime. Apparently we wanted to go in abit smaller against Collingwood, so I think it could be Grigg and Browne in for Hammer and JR...

 

[blues4flag]

Browne was named on the extended bench, is no certainty to play.

 

[Silvagnis]

Not really.

Hampson is a ruckman and needs to play four quarters to get match fit.

He won't get fit in the ones when Cloke and Kreuzer will ruck against Fraser and Wood.

Russell will get dropped.

Hampson still appears to be struggling after having his minor knee surgery just prior to the NAB Cup. Give him a few games with the Ants, to get his match fitness up, and his touch back.

i want bentick to get a run - we are already pretty good at clearances, but with him in we'd have even more grunt. he's a lot quicker now apparently - been going well with the ants. give him a go i say.

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

the teams should be confirmd at some stage today. The team had an extendend interchange bench so there will be more clarification about the side later on.
For mine
Ins Bentick, Grigg & Browne possibly O'Hailpin (to look after Rocca if gets on fire, but having looked at his performance last week in the Ants i find it unlikely.
Out Hampson, Russell & Scotland. Stevens still has a cloud over his head and wont be 100% fit.

Has he ever been?

 

[Bomba Sheldon]

Please Ratts, pick Browne so we can start putting genuine backs into our defence!!

 

[libsug]

I believe its Grigg and O'hAilpin in, Hampson and Houlihan (hip) out.

 

[blue_boys]

yep.. with browne, bentick and hampson as emergencies

 

[nsj91]

[/b]Has he ever been?

haha touche

I'd like to see setanta out there

 

[jonoman89]

i wish bentick was playing!

 

[HBF]

Same.
He'd certainly add something to our clearances and stoppages.

With number 5 and number 10 added to our team, I really don't see the need for AB in the clearances...

Can he bring physicality to the pack? I read he towelled up Scotland, but does that mean with skill or muscle? We're clever in the packs, but lack muscle - Murph, Gibbs, Simpson don't have physical presence, Judd is more about speed and strength, rather than aggression, although I do agree Hadley is capable.
