[jimvic]

With Christian being a usual prick...

In: Walker, Dowling, Nankervis
Out: Burgess, Jones, Laird

Cumming to defence.

B: Bond, Murray, Keane
HB: Milera, Worrell, Hinge
C: Dowling, Dawson, Curtin
HF: ANB, Fogarty, Keays
F: Rankine, Thilthorpe, Walker
R: O’Brien, Berry, Soligo

can't we bring in Edwards, or is he now struggling in the seconds?

Would prefer to give him a taste against the Roos.

 

[Crow_Magnon]

At this stage doesn't look like Bobby will be playing.

What about McCreery? He's very important to them too...

 

[SLOWNE]

Without Howe playing, we need to play with fast transition and isolate Frampton/Moore.

With speed in mind, I'd love to see Draper in if Peatling doesn't get up. Cumming to half-back, Dowling on a wing, Nank as the sub given his new role up forward in the snaffle, he has versatility.

OUT:
Burgess, Laird, Jones (Peatling)

IN:
Tex, Dowling, Nank (Draper)

Really don't want to be hearing Crouch or Smith being anywhere in the conversation, they are the exact type of players a team like The Pies thrive against.

The blueprint to beat them has been established, limit Naicos and then run them off their feet.

SEN incorrect.
Michalanney on track for first final.
Rachele TBC but running next week is positive. Could be a prelim final situation.

Did you run into him due to the fog?

 

[adelaidecrows]

Did you run into him due to the fog?

he was about to but Mist

 

[1970crow]

That has to be challenged

Looks 1 to me based on recent May outcome. Shoulder impacted jaw, doesn't matter his original intent re smother or whatever, he got him high. Would be 3 if old mate was concussed.

Then why wasn't Newcombe suspended?

 

[1970crow]

Then why wasn't Newcombe suspended?

Didn't see it, only comparing to May, who I thought shouldn't get any.

Go have a look at the Newcombe incident from the weekend.

In fact here you go

Turns out I saw it live, but no replays. Newcombe goes in chest first to tackle and ends face to face head clash. Totally different to Laird who isn't attempting anything and hits him side on, his shoulder collecting oppo jaw. You can't be serious comparing them.

I think the difference is laird hit shoulder to head (bump)
Newcombe hit head to head and tried to tackle.

 

[Hobbes]

If you can't perform a role to a basic level in a pressure game there's no point being on the list

Well, it depends. If you’re still developing, that’s fine. But Burgess is 29. If he’s not good enough now, he won’t be.

The difference is enormous. Amazed anyone can expect the same outcome.

Hilarious from David Zita, reporting on the tribunal hearing.

Sent the footage of his rehab to my physio mate and he said he’d be shocked if Rash doesn’t play a big role in Sep

 

[pjcrows]

No way Laird gets off.
