The bench rotation is going to be important because it will be a forward battle early on, we have the players to put it to the grubs but we will need to keep that going for the time Vaughan and Packer take their brake,
So far this season our intensity drops off when they are off, we need to work on that

BL is named in the 21 so it wouldnt suprise me if he did play and CS played reserves.
Just like we did last week with Widdop etc.
Des maybe just giving him a reminder how easy it is to fall to sharpen him up.

Dassler may be up to his usual tricks ahead of his sacking next week when we put a score on them.

2gb are saying that:
1. Reynolds is only a 50/50.
2. Chase is coming back from 14m off and mail is Brenko Lee will actually play instead (which sounds more like it).

Either way Lafai will be out for a show and our forward pack will have a point to prove against grubs.

We got this, back to 2nd on the ladder.

Hope your Right. I am nervous about this game. Dogs always turn up against us and have the wood on us over the last few years. I will be ecstatic with a win but not confident.

We can expect them to be absolutely desperate.
They will target Widdop and try and take him out of contention.
Expect anything goes - knees in the back, head highs etc. ala semi 2015
They will give away penalties in order to intimidate and unsettle Widdop.
This game is their line in the sand or else 5 losses in a row and out of finals contention.
Having said that, if we dominate them in the forwards all of Hasler's little mind games and tricky tactics won't mean much.
The Penny Bungers showed us the way last week.
It will be a really good test for us.

Milne should be dropped from the bench and Host should come in.

Under 20's
Morris to centre i don't see that happening Johns to centre Morris to wing.

Purcell has been playing in the halves in the illawarra comp and now in at 9.

That's a cracking side we have named. Pretty much full strength minus Aitken but Mann is a solid replacement.
I think this is going to be a great game and could be a nail biter. Lets hope that Widdops kicking boots are on, it may be the difference.

There will be high drama as usual against the filthy grubs. They're literally desperate and so is their coach.
Have a look at his pre game presser - lost in space.
Mary needs to prime the team and put the nails in the coffin first 40m.

Maybe Hasler is playing mind games with us, by naming Reynolds even though he wasn't fit. Hopefully they get the job done

Hasler is full of little mind games and tactical tricks although it hasn't got him far this year.
Nevertheless it is a big test for McGregor's.
We have to focus 100% on what we do best and not get dragged into their niggly, shitty style of play.
If we stick to our guns, we will win.

Up through the middle and tire their forwards with our superior fitness. You wouldn't think we need a lot of points to win so it's a game we should play with simplicity in mind.
