Kiddy keeps his place!

Some handy ins for both teams.

Pretty pumped now. Will be a long, slow 24 hours.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Answerth not even an emergency? Strange.

Maybe he's fallen behind Hinge in the pecking order, just as Witherden seems to have.

 

[M Malice]

2 exceptional ins for both sides, Answerth unlucky after being rested to not get back in although I agree with the decision.

 

[Mighty Lions]

Answerth not listed as emergency either

Not fit.

[Johnny Bananas]

If Kiddy is good enough to keep his place in a finals match against the toughest opponent we have, after just 4 games, imagine how good his even more talented brother is going to be.

 

[Berry Picker]

Not fit.

He went off a few games ago with a back injury, but came back on. Maybe he's done something

 

[BangyBangy]

Not fit.

As in injured or he's turning into Jake Stringer?

 

[Lazza16]

Answerth not even an emergency? Strange.

There was talk he was rested coz of groin issues........perhaps thats y.

 

[scoman]

I'm holding on to the idea that the Tigers might be a bit underdone with Prestia, Houli, Edwards and Asturbury having played very little footy this year.

 

[martinson]

He went off a few games ago with a back injury, but came back on. Maybe he's done something

His disposal probably went against him against this opposition.

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

Not fit.

You would think that's the case, he's definitely ahead of hinge IMO.

 

[BangyBangy]

If Kiddy is good enough to keep his place in a finals match against the toughest opponent we have, after just 4 games, imagine how good his even more talented brother is going to be.

Imagine how good he's gonna be in the Grand Final after six games

 

[Lazza16]

I'm holding on to the idea that the Tigers might be a bit underdone with Prestia, Houli, Edwards and Asturbury having played very little footy this year.

Exactlyyyyy.......hold on to that thought for 24hrs

 

[Macca225]

Coleman just needs to bring the pressure the rest will follow

LIONS LIONS LIONS

 

[PertRoosOsborne]

Not sure where the tigers are staying but whoever lives close please go down and make some noise tonight. Make sure their players get NO sleep

 

[SL16]

Expected changes.

Would have to think Hinge is going to get another contract, seems to be emergency every week.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Love this side. Fagan going with Coleman indicates his adopting an attacking mindset. This is our best 22 because it is our most STABLE 22.

 

[Lazza16]

Not sure where the tigers are staying but whoever lives close please go down and make some noise tonight. Make sure their players get NO sleep

Park a truck full of roosters outside their harem.

 

[martinson]

Expected changes.

Would have to think Hinge is going to get another contract, seems to be emergency every week.

He's put on some bulk and played well in his one game so you'd think he's next cab off the rank

 

[Dalions]

No CEY.

Dusty can unclench now.

CEY is not the KEY to stopping Dusty.

 

[Kernel Kurtz]

Maybe he's fallen behind Hinge in the pecking order, just as Witherden seems to have.

I'm thinking next year Hinge might put pressure on our forwards for a spot

 

[BuntonRules]

Pleased to see Coleman selected. Forward half pressure, to limit their rebound run will be crucial.

 

[snooplions]

Then they wonder why people despise them before putting it down to ‘jealousy’.

Non tiger supporters:

Tiger supporters: "We're living in their heads rent-free!"

 

[beatnik]

CEY is not the KEY to stopping Dusty.

I see what you did there

I’m in two minds - if Dusty goes on a bullock ing rampage, it would be nice to have someone like CEY on the bench to throw at him but, at the same time, I trust our coaches and selectors

Ultimately I like that we’re going the attacking route (Coleman) rather than worrying about them
