Match Discussion: Round 16 vs Dolphins @ HBF Park, Perth / Whadjuk

We are also the only club Gamble would start for...

Yes I agree! But he’s still better than both Hastings and Cogger.

 

[Yosh]

We are literally the only club Cogger would start for.

Didn't say start. He would easily be a top 30 player at 5-8 clubs. No one wants Hastings anywhere near the club.

Ran into Gardner today boys. He said we're going to beat the Dolphins because we generally play one bad game then one good game. Told me to have faith. This is not a joke if you were waiting for the punchline. Maybe the punchline was the one good game one bad game part. Should have asked him which ones are which.

The risk with this weeks team (among many risks) is the four forwards on the bench, meaning one of Crossland or Brailey plays 80 mins - thats when they got ragged last week was when those two were fatigued.
Also Best coming back from a hammy with no backs cover means the Lucas switch would happen in the event of an injury - moving our best player.
With Ponga backing up, Young playing his first game, Best returning from injury, Marzhew carrying an arm knock - I'd be thinking a late bench switch (Hastings?) is on the cards.

Hastings dropped into dummy half a lot last game. I expect others will too next game. Crossland and Brailey will likely share it.

I reckon he starts at the dragons

 

[SamSepi0l]

He's better than Nepo kid but would have to get past dad to get picked.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Schiller in for Marzhew on the wing.

 

[Yosh]

Isn't it game day? Feels like nobody looks forward to our games these days.

Honestly I forgot about it. Basically sums up our season.

Why would you haha.
I guess you hope the young guys go ok
But this game has big losing 26 - 6 or 10 vibes to me. Go team!

Keen to see Gags/Dom on the right edge and to see McEwen and ESL go around again.

This is the view from my house, looking over towards where HBF Park is (20mins drive away). It was taken a few minutes ago before the rain started again.


It's been very wet over here of late, and had some heavy rain the last few days. Including this morning. Forecast days it should be easing / clearing by the afternoon, so it's got 3½hrs to do so.

The beatings will continue until morale improves

 

[Tom155]

Sharpe!

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Good start

 

[Tom155]

Strange but good having Dom back

 

[Tom155]

Unfortunately Schiller just got caught there could’ve been try time

 

[Tom155]

That looked more forward than the best one

Still soft defence regardless
