Cows by 40


We're f**ked

 

[mozza91]

Will be interesting to see what changes are made. Hopefully Hoy, Tuala and Mann get dropped.

 

[Zoidberg]

Either we lose by 30 or win by 10. I have no idea what to expect with this team.

[Knight Tales]

If we lose I hope Clifford tears it up and that is the reason.

 

[Old dog]

Hopefully changes made at least to run on side, especially forwards, unlike the backs they have been injury free but not performing, that needs to change.
Ok dropping Hoy, Tuala and Mann but who do we promote in place with Hunt and likely Musgrove injured, Ponga maybe not right, Green?, Schibs heaven forbid, hopefully Lee is ok but will be short of a gallop.
Our likely best is Ponga, Toa, Mann/Jones, Best, Lee, Green and Crossland.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Clifford is going to bomb our back 3 and none of them from this week can handle that, I have zero confidence in any of them

Something massive has to occur to turn the team around to get a win but unfortunately we don't have a Tom Turbo coming into the side

Cows by 20

Cowboys will do a job on us. Don’t expect anything more unless you enjoy disappointment.

 

[perverse]

Put a fork in us, we're done for the year. Only took 10 rounds, pretty impressive really.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Cows paying $1.58 for the win. Pretty good value there really, easy money.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Based on the last performance from each team we'll get done.
No clue who we'll use at left wing. Hunt will likely be out.
Hopefully Ponga is back but if he isn't we are stuck on FB with Hoy likely out.

Why is Hoy likely out? Injured or you mean expected to be dropped?

 

[Burwood]

1. Ponga
2. Lee
3. Mann
4. Best
5. Hunt/Tuala/Musgrave/whoever
6. Green/Sasagi
7. Crossland
8. Sue
9. Brailey
10. Saifiti
11. Frizell
12. Fitzgibbon
13. Barnett
14. Watson
15. Klemmer
16. Saifiti
17. Jones

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

1. Ponga
2. Lee
3. Mann
4. Best
5. Hunt/Tuala/Musgrave/whoever

Lee won't be ready. Hunt unlikely as is Musgrove.
They won't play Mann in the centre. Sisagi possible for centre.

Hand/finger injury.

 

[Jono078]

Pretty sure AOB confirmed Ponga will miss this game...

What an interesting backline we'll have..

I'm thinking Watson will be named at fullback or will play there come Thursday.

They won’t.

 

[macavity]

If Hoy is out surely To’a is beating down the coach’s door to ask for a run.

Lol please no
