I really think this'll be an ugly one. Brace yourselves.

 

[ryan.a87]

Is there a market for 60+ ?

 

[The Axe of Druss]

We're in with a good shot in this one.....if the Roosters suffer 17 ACLs or Cat 1 HIAs

 

[Haffa]

At least it’s Friday and we can enjoy the rest of the weekend.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

I reckon Obrien will stick with Milf and Clune.
Hunt in and maybe Baker on the wing.

 

[Yosh]

How long is Dom out for?

How long is Dom out for?

They didn’t say anything on the news about him. Frizell trained today and will be right for the weekend. Edrick is a chance of playing too.

I didn't expect to see Dom named at all tbh

 

[Old dog]

Happy we have named a strong side, expected Young, Lee and Frizell to miss out injured or rested

 

[Jono078]

Switch Hymel and Tuala.

Leo Thompson dropped instead of Brodie Jones? Glad he re-signed if that’s how highly we think of him.

I’d be willing to say this will be Milford’s last game for us if we lose and barring any injuries to the halves. If it isn’t then it’s complete negligence by AOB.

 

[PhilGould]

Not sure what the go is with Dom but he's the only one from the extended squad not named in NSW Cup as well.

Thomson hasn't been upgraded yet has he?

Why is Milf playing? Please someone explain to me. We're not going to make the 8. I would understand if the plan was to sign another half because Crossland/Clifford have no future at the club.

I think mathematically we could still make it, so put your best team out

the alternative is we put Clifford out there, they put 60 on us and his confidence goes down to new lows

wait a week and we play tigers and bulldogs, blood players then

He'll name the best he can each week.
At this stage have to consider how much the NSW Cup team is disrupted and how qualifying works for that team.
They have a better chance of top 8 than firsts.

Didn't really follow Fitz in NSW cup but was his recall justified through form or just because the coach doesn't think there are other options?

Rib injury

He was good in the 2 games I saw. Was scoring tries and found an offload I didn’t think he had.
