Poetic justice, spike, would be if 20 minutes into the match Jared Mullen got collected by a team mate accidently and snapped his leg, ruling him out for the season.
FTR i think this will be a very tough game to win, we're going to miss TLL and Shillo's go forward massively. They provide so much for our pack, the rest will have to lift.
We'll be solid around the ruck and on the fringes defensively. Alot of big boys in that side. I am looking forward to seeing Joe Picker back in the side, and Joely Thompson attacking the edges will worry the Knights IMO
I wouldnt expect too much from Vidot on debut, he's very raw, is prone to making mistakes in defense but he's a very big body and the knights will have their hands full stopping him close to the line. Gives us more height to bomb to aswell.
Knights would have to go in as favourites and they'd be disappointed not to win this one. I dont think we'll win but i havent thought that for the past 2 weeks either, and im running bottem half of the tipping comp, so what do i know?!
I agree with skeepe also, whilst at this stage he's no where near his level as a player right here and now, i believe Dugan has more natural talent then Gidley, weather that transpires into ability later in his career, remains to be seen. Owen Craigie was probably one of the most talented players of all time. Doesnt mean squat unless you learn how to use it. Like Uate, he's one of the more talented wingers in the game but at the moment he's nothing but a kid with potential.
