Match Discussion: Round 2 vs Wests Tigers @ Leichhardt Oval, Lilyfield

[Zoidberg]

Mann ruled out and Gamble to start at lock.
I don’t like Gamble that much but I’m excited to have another option for kicks and playmaking.

 

[Jono078]

Wow I just saw on Facebook that Gamble is set to play and I thought wonderful he’s replaced Crossland. But no, he’s our starting 13!

Tigers forward pack will have fun against us.

Obi loves mediocre utility players.

 

[Jono078]

Isn’t it funny, you think being a smaller team physically we’d probably play some expansive football and use our mobility to our advantage, but what’s the chances (rhetorical) we play one our and try to win using a “power” game.

I can’t wait to see how it unfolds tomorrow.

 

[Old dog]

Surely it is Gamble in for Mann and a reshuffle will occur with Johns in and Gamble to bench.
Would have preferred Johns in with Jones to bench, Crossland covers 6, 7 & 9
Hard to fathom OBriens selection/logic

Wait till Elliot is fit to start 13, and O’Brien tries to squeeze each of Mann, Gamble and Crossland into his bench rotation.

Don’t laugh, it’s not intended as a joke.

 

[Frederick]

I saw someone comment on twitter that Gamble is a small lock.

He's bigger than Mann ffs

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Gamble over Crossland imo. Start another fwd at lock and add one.

Hopefully Gamble kicks on at lock and Mann can come back as the 14 and we never have to see Crossland in the 17 again

I'm just trying to mentally prepare for the week when he manages to cram all 3 of them in the side.

 

[Jono078]

I enjoy taking the piss out of AOB comments around turnaround times for preparation in the week, and this time we had a long turnaround and he actually says it wasn't a long week LOL

My favourite line is “We understand the importance of winning footy games”.

Well, that’s something.

Yeah not sure I believe it to be honest.

 

[Jono078]

Today's the day. It's clash of the titans - 17th vs 16th!

We lose this one and I'm not so sure where our first win comes this season.

 

[Old dog]

I’m looking forward to the bye, 2 points

How many more weeks until West's sack this cooked merkin???

 

[NK Arsenal]

I don’t mind Thompson starting as it means we always have a Saifiti on the bench

However, why the f**k do we have 2 x utility on the bench? Is this what is needed to win premierships you merkin
