Battle for the ages R21.

[jeffdragon]

I though I'd get in early.
As stated by a journo its up against the 4th Ashes test and the Women's world cup Aust v Ireland
Nine dishing up us v Tigers.
As for the game if we win we just about avoid the spoon but if we lose I think it's ours as I can't see us beating any of our opponents before the end of the year.
No Sully so Hunt will be picked by Carr.
Knowing the Dragons they will somehow throw this game away.

I think the Tigers have a good squad of players. The forwards are strong, tough and mobile and the backs have talent. If we can produce the same intensity as we did in the second half against the Raiders for 80% of the game, we might have a chance of winning, but I don't think we will win and the destiny of getting the wooden spoon awaits.

 

[This Year?]

Our left edge will get torn up by Tommy Talau and David Nofoaluma.

 

[Wolfgang90]

hope we see a high scoring game

 

[Crush]

It’s our 2023 grand final, by far the biggest game of the year for us.
Win and we avoid it, lose and it’s ours.

 

[RedVDave]

Stupid post our focus should be on beating the bye first.

Loser of this game guaranteed wooden spoon.

 

[Dea]

It really says something when the game generating the most excitement and anticipation is us playing the Tigers for the wooden spoon. BOD, past coaches and current players, need to own this and fix it.

On fb.injury updates.
Sua,shoulder could be out for season
BMM mcl season
Sully hamstring season.

 

[Desperate Dragon]

Would not surprise if the injury for BMM sees him get a tap on the shoulder by Flanagan and he ends up retiring.
Hope the news about Sua is not that serious.

Well if I'm honest BMM was lucky to have seen more than 3 games this season, let alone almost if not all each and every game. He has contributed absolutely nothing and has been pretty lazy, but in saying that, he is quite old and he doesn't pick himself. If he does retire I wish him all the best. Wrecking ball in his prime.

I’m tipping a draw

BMM I think is a really useful Bench Prop that dents the line.. and can cover an injury in the 2nd row.. leagues better than some of our other options..

I did an analysis on who's left for our 2024 squad (5 off contract likely let go, another 5 likely retired or leaving.. plus musgrove I think will go as hes decent but obviously have some issue with him).. i.e. we have about 10 spots to fill as it is.. so we need any usable player to stick around.. we have left our recruitment 6-12mths too late.

Just on BMM's

BMM mcl season
Sully hamstring season.

Just on that BMM injury, was that not a classic hip drop? he swung around on BMM's legs and hes done an MCL.. it didnt even get a mention from commentators.. even if it was a fair tackle.. it bewilders me that it wasnt discussed.

Our For/Against is better than the Tigers. They will get the spoon.

Last game againt them 3 players came across in cover to get Nofoaluma. They all missed when he stepped back inside. Do these blokes not know how to defend 3 players against 1?

Lack of game preparation/video analysis.
Nofoaluma & Sami from the titans are notorious for stepping off their right legs yet they always seem to do it regularly against us.

Because he is wearing this...
