Match Discussion: Round 23 vs Sea Eagles @ Leichhardt Oval

[Tiger05]

Clifferd - this is what I think is probably going on as well. JLJ may be required simply as a backup option in case anything happens to a couple of players.

Still isn't good enough imho.

Shit happens but I reckon teddy could fill in the halves in a pinch. Put Naiqama back at fullback etc

Chee Kam fills in centres.

Only hypothetical anyway, every single one of those 17 that run out are equal chance of injury.

If Mcillwrick goes down, shift ET/Chee Kam to hooker

If Brooks goes down, shift teddy into the halves.

Make use of the 17 players you have..

 

[Tigerm]

This is the answer I got from a reliable source

I've heard that both Brooks and McIlwrick are carrying injuries into games.
Brooks gets his hamstring needled every week, while McIlwrick has a knee problem that is "can't get worse, but needs off season surgery".
He's the backup for both.

Could be true I guess. But basically says we are heavily disadvantaged and Cleary is happy to play with 16 men every game

If MM is injured, wonder why they are not playing Liddle, I mean the season is already over for us.

 

[Tiger05]

Liddle is injured as well.

Clifferd that is a lot of changes that can be avoided with JLJ on the bench. I'm not stating he is a good option and I'd go with 4 forwards but I can understand where Cleary is coming from.

 

[Tiger Ted]

We should have another forward on the bench instead of the very ordinary JLJ.

I know Ava is leaving & it shouldn't b a reason to b on the outer but it seems odd that he isn't in the 17.

I'd rather have Ava there over woods. Ava has shown a lot more courtesy despite leaving

Unless there's something going on closed doors..

Yup liddle is injured otherwise I 100% agree

 

[Trollhammaren]

JLJ did not even get on to the field in the last game, and got 2-3 minutes in the game prior.

I'd take a punt on another forward, but eh, suppose the coach knows what he's doing.

 

[Clifferd]

I'm almost certain most coaches are in the same situation and take the punt. But yes, can see where IC is coming from

 

[macnaz]

Fair enough , still thought there must be a better option.
A needled up Brooks may explain his poor short kicking game atm , because i cant ever remember him being so bad.

 

[The Charlatan]

Vic, this is why you should always have an off the books second account to yourself.

Yeah no one would suspect a Vic Mackey20.

EDIT: just noticed you were talking about a cash account lmao...

 

[Vic Mackey]

Feels like it's been forever since we've had a leichhardt game. Meant to be a sunny day Sunday so looking forward to getting out there

Geez knights are doing alright, its going to be an exciting race to avoid the spoon! The travesty will be, we would have got the spoon late. We needed it 3-4 years ago. The way the knights are going, we are a real f**king chance

Simmo
I reckon we will be safe
I predict us to beat Cowboys and warriors rounds 25 and 26

 

[simmo05]

Im confident we will avoid the spoon, however, i was confident of success many times in the last 12 years!!

 

[simmo05]

We do love playing the cowgirls and the warriors though!

 

[Tiger Woody]

We do love playing the cowgirls and the warriors though!

In saying that..knights are now equal with us on F and A.
So if we lose to Manly we are definitely last after this round

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Leichhardt Oval v Manly who we have a good record against there in recent times, hopefully that and a sunny afternoon with many supporters will see the team home and stay ahead of the Knights.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

The last few times we've played Manly at Leichhardt, it's been pretty wet from memory.
A welcome change

You'd think warriors are a gimme and our record against the cowboys is insane. Not sure who newie play but if we're good enough we'll avoid it.
