[EdLondon]

So I'm guessing Crossland in for Mann?

So I'm guessing Crossland in for Mann?

Won't know until 4:30 but so far it sounds like Mann will play

 

[Swarzey]

Somewhat hope Mann plays. McCullough playing 80 isn't ideal and I feel Hoy would be wasted coming in to play hooker if we had Crossland at 6.

 

[Yosh]

If Mann isn't 100%, why not have him on the bench and start with Hoy at six. Bring on Mann depending on the situation of the game.

 

[Zoidberg]

Bit of a strange call with Mann if he’s not 100%. Maybe Obi is waiting to last minute to announce he’s not playing so Storm don’t have a game plan aimed at Crossland in place.

 

[Knight76]

Maybe OB is playing a bit of mind games here and having Mann in the starting side until the last minute then bring Hoy in to 6.

After last weeks game OB said Mann's ankle had swollen up pretty quickly, hard to think he would be right to play or near 100% fit already. OB talks about resting players and the team needs to draw on the whole clubs roster not just the starting 17.

Now is a great time to rely on that depth and give Mann a rest, or play less minutes from the bench. Why play an underdone player against such a dangerous opponent.

No late changes 1-17

Great news.

 

[Zoidberg]

Feeling nervous

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Let's go Knights!!!!!!

 

[Tom155]

Really poor from Herman

 

[Zoidberg]

f**k off. Knock on. But Herman should’ve been on it

 

[PhilGould]

Looking very flat compared to last week.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

That's a clanger.

To beat Melbourne, you simply must beat the officials as well.

 

[aqua_duck]

Melb definitely on top in the ruck

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Can't afford to be lazy against Melbourne. Hopefully that first try will be a wake up call

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Why is it that we never show up against these grubs even when we're in form?

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Let's see some heart and resolve.

 

[Burns]

We look so very flat

Just like last year when we went down to Melbourne

 

[Haffa]

We look a little flat. Need to hold them out here.
