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

[Old dog]

Let’s hope that our 11-13 don’t get injured early as will have to play Gamble for longer than like

 

[perverse]

How is it Round 2 and we're running 2 failed halves on our NRL bench?

*sigh*. Yeah can't wait for kickoff.

 

[Old dog]

Know we’re a bit short in back 3 with Elliott, Mann and Croker out but we have Jones as 18th man, surely Gamble or Crosslands could have been the 18th, not like the Coach would have thrown his arms in the air and muttered “I’ve no choice”

 

[Frederick]

My tip for this game - Crossland will get more minutes than Gamble does. Gamble to get a token ~7-8 minutes at the end we're down by 20

8. Daniel Saifiti
9. Jayden Brailey (C)
17. Leo Thompson
11. Tyson Frizell
12. Lachlan Fitzgibbon
15. Jack Johns

10. Jacob Saifiti
14. Phoenix Crossland
16. Jack Hetherington
19. Tyson Gamble

18. Brodie Jones

If there were ever any doubts our head muppet’s entire game plan revolves around the great Kurt Mann, I’d say this team sheet would silence them.

 

[Tom155]

& Ponga is out

Shit

 

[mozza91]

Ok that’s it.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Career over for Ponga

 

[Willie Ray]

He won't be back.

 

[perverse]

Yeah that'd be right.

 

[Frederick]

Oh for f**ks sake, he needs to retire already

 

[Burns]

He should retire.

 

[Alex28]

There you go. Opposition strategy - hit Ponga hard, easy 15 minutes with him off the field.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Going to be "one of those days" gents...

 

[perverse]

There you go. Opposition strategy - hit Ponga hard, easy 15 minutes with him off the field.

Forget 15 minutes, he won't be back today and probably next week. And serious questions about his long term wellbeing are going to start being asked.

 

[Tom155]

No surprise there

 

[Haffa]

It was inevitable. Sadly.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Short odds for Brooks to look like A.Johns today

 

[Haffa]

Forget 15 minutes, he won't be back today and probably next week. And serious questions about his long term wellbeing are going to start being asked.

This time was because he decided to tackle with his head.

Klemmer for a double or something silly
