Lol Blake is out and being replaced by Niukore at centre.


Lol classic Bea.

My guess is Matterson will play centre. Niakuore will go into 2nd row.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Not sure that’s the way I wouId go.....is Marata mobile enough to defend at centre?

Is it worth weakening the bench?

rather Dunster

that wouId change our whole left side. Matterson need to move to the right.

Don’t think that will happen

 

[Happy MEel]

We haven’t named a replacement so unless we’re playing with 16 players, I’m guessing Penisini is given his debut.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Holy crap it is pissing down here...

Also, say what you want about how bad the members cap looks this year, geez they are super comfy to wear...

Yeah. Just got mine and my poster. Pretty well organised. Lucky they sacked the Cheergirls. They would have drowned out here.

Hope Mitch remembers his long studs. Last time he totally fu*ked up in the wet.

Hipgrave onto the bench for Niukore.

penissi can’t play. Wasn’t in extended squad

Surely it’s an easy argument to say Marata isn’t a centre to get a special allowance.

edit: Actually Smith to centre, Hipgrave or Lussick to the bench.

it will be all about the D tonight.

Surely Dunster coming in on the Wing and Fergo to centre was the common sense move??? Melbourne are one of the
Quickest teams in the comp they are going to absolutely shred a bloke who does his best work in the middle these days. Development club that’s too scared to give Dunster a run. He more than held his own against the Bunnies.

We'll see I guess. I'd assume Matterson will defend at centre, but Niukore may attack at centre.

Edward Woodward would.

It's very exciting!

My guess is Niukore will attack at centre and defend four in. Drown will defend two in.
