7 in a row incoming

 

[Yosh]

If we smash Souths and Latrell to win 7 in a row, that'll easily be the best thing that has happened to the club in the last two decades!

 

[Rod]

Toohey reckons Clune will be the 7 while Hastings is out, probably makes sense in terms of the least amount of disruption to the rest of the lineup.

Hopefully Best is back and we're full strength apart from Hastings. Crowd should be heaving and give us a big lift.

 

[Zoidberg]

I think Clune is the best option due to him being similar to Hastings in that he is an organiser with a good footy brain. Hopefully there will be little disruption to the way we’ve been playing.

 

[SamSepi0l]

For continuity they'll go Clune. One in one out. But I'd prefer Phoenix 7 and a 9 rotation of Brown and Mann so that we didn't have a child defending in the line.

 

[Spot On]

The Great Blocker Roach says Kurt Mann is the player for all seasons and HE WILL be playing 7 this w/e.

A few too many concussions for Blocker back in the day I think.

Watching Gamble get under the skin of Walker and/or Latrell is going to be fun

It will be fiery but that could blow up in our face if Trell decides to have a busy game. I expect Kalyn to cop plenty of attention. Sell out close according to Toohey.

 

[Burwood]

You don’t want to fire up Latrell. The crowd got stuck into him last home game and he had a blinder and kicked every sideline conversion.

Nothing personal but I hate that kind of talk. Oooh you don't want to fire up [blank]. Especially right now finals on the line, they should be fired up etc. Instead he's slothing around the park. I hope Latrell has a blinder and we belt them.

Our 2022 side was complete dogshit though. We made Richie Kenner look like prime Uate that night.

It does not work against Champions, player or teams. And there is no correlation between Trell having a blinder and them losing. Not a chance. It rolls off him their form and it can explode at any given moment. They are polar form wise but their very best is lethal. Keep him honest.

 

[Knight Tales]

Sell out official. Expect Sharks game will do same if we win this.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Hastings named at 7 but I reckon it'll be a wait and see thing.

 

[Burns]

Going to be wearing the cursed mining jerseys.

Going to be wearing the cursed mining jerseys.

At least not wearing them against the Tigers again like some years back *facepalm*

 

[Burwood]

That’s the strongest 1-17 we’ve had this year- hopefully it’s the team that runs out.
