Cordner has done no favours for the WT or Tariq Sims this week on the other hand QLD are laughing their arses off.

 

[Trollhammaren]

For f**k sake, id rather see Godinet or Macca at dummy half rather than ET

 

[Perth Tiger]

poor Brooks better put in some practice this week catching passes at his feet, over his head and behind him

 

[Tiger05]

I wish Liddle was there even though he is shit a lot of the time. Liddle has the potential to be a great dummy half.

I understand the team. You go for a big pack to belt it up the middle and have Reynolds coming into hooker to add some spark when ET tires. I'd still though prefer Liddle learning his trade in first grade.

Is Liddle injured though ? That would explain it.

He got plenty of practice last week as well.

 

[Clifferd]

I’m pretty sure Liddle is injured. Maybe didn’t pass HIA? either way the kid is brittle and maybe he isn’t cut out for first grade this year

 

[benched tiger]

It is a pretty poor state of affairs if ET is our first choice #9

 

[Vic Mackey]

No ISP this week so no idea what’s going on with Liddle. IF he was injured I think they’d say it.

Still a decent team, just hope ET doesn’t ruin our chances in the 20 like he did against the panthers

 

[Clifferd]

I like our bench a lot. Really apart from ET at hooker it’s a strong team

Get ET to do extras at training hitting crisp passes and we should be sweet

 

[Tigerm]

Wonder what's happened to MM not getting a look in anymore.

I saw him last week come on at a critical time after being rested and miss a front on tackle which was a big reason we lost the game. I still think he may be a better option than ET and Reynolds but it looks like it is going to be ET and Reynolds there.

It’s a given.Its obvious this talent-less powder puff is a favourite of Ivan’s.

Swap Liddle for ET & the side looks a heck of a lot better.

Liddle still having problems with a sternum injury and by what I have been told sternum injuries are super painful and a long recovery. So its probably a miracle he has played any games.

Anyway if you think our attack was clunky last week, 80 minutes of ET and JR at dummy half, it will not be any better on Sunday and probably a tad worse

I thought when Reynolds came on we looked very good in attack. Dogs are going gangbusters atm but they make you work for points in defense.

Reynolds will get close to 40 mins you’d think this week hopefully. Still would much rather Godinet at dummy half than ET

They are.

I've had a stenotomy (vertical splitting of the sternum to get access to the heart,) and I was told that while the sternum does fully heal, there's sometimes issues that arise from it, which can also happen as a result of less traumatic injuries (like cracked/fractured sternums.)

My sternum never healed properly at the top, there's a tiny knobs of bone in places that are super sensitive and it hurts to press against it, it's almost like it is an exposed bundle of nerves.

Would rather MM start and tackle his ring out for 30 minutes and then bring on Grub to finish the job.

I agree when Reynolds came on the side when forward before going sideways. I thought this was the problem in the first half we didn't attack the ruck and make their forwards tired. We were throwing to the backs to early and causing errors.

Losing a sub for Godinet at #9 is better than starting ET there, surely?
Our attack is clunky enough as it is without the service from dummy-half hitting you on your shoelaces.
