Baz saying there is a chance Klemmer will be back for this one….but most likely the next round

if we loose this, we riot

 

[Spot On]

St George have been absolutely awful the past 2 weeks.

Unfortunately, we have been no better.

A battle for the ages.

Safs and Ponga need to have a dig.

Will be fun to watch some of the questions and reactions in the post match should we lose this week. Can’t walk out every week should Ponga drag his decision out till R12.

 

[Old dog]

Just pick the best fittest side, hit them hard, play strong and win the game then look forward to rest of season, players back from injury suspension and work towards semis.
Bottom line, this week is our season

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Dragons are awful and we're not far off. I think it will be a dreadful game but they'll outshit us and we'll win by 8

 

[macavity]

It’s either rock bottom or the start of our season proper.

I know everyone will think it’s too early to think this way, but lose this one and we are chasing finals the rest of the year.

 

[Jono078]

I agree, this is our first monumental game of the season.

We need to get back on track and look like a cohesive unit playing football.

The Dragons are just about 100% and have been our bogey team for a long time, although I feel that has changed in recent years.

The Dragons will also be desperate in this one so we must match that. We have to be equally as desperate to get the 2 points.

The fact the Dragons are at around 100% and I’m sure Tariq will fire up for this game considering it’s us and he was awful last week, has me giving the Dragons the slight edge here.

Forum might go into meltdown if we lose this one, especially if it’s ugly or certain players stink it up.

 

[Yosh]

If we can't beat the Dragons, AOB's job needs to be under fire. We should win and win comfortably.

 

[Knight Tales]

Milford court case today. If cleared Barry Toohey is reporting on Twitter we wil move to inmediately register him and he will likely be at training this Tuesday.

 

[General Knight]

But its gonna be a 10 day turn around for us.....

 

[Burwood]

This win or loss is all on the forward pack. Don't care who is in or out, they just need to turn up and lay the platform for the rest of the team.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Watch us play them back into form...

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Baz reporting we may have another player set to miss this week's game due to covid...

 

[ryan.a87]

Baz reporting we may have another player set to miss this week's game due to covid...

Hearing it’s Crossland….which would probably mean Hoy to 6

 

[Yosh]

Hearing it’s Crossland….which would probably mean Hoy to 6

I can hear the cheers from this forum already.

Or, which of you purposefully gave Crossland Covid?

Edit: already posted

 

[Frederick]

Adam Clune when he kicks the ball this weekend

 

[PhilGould]

Clune would be long odds I'd say, and Klemmer not much better.

 

[Burwood]

If that team runs out, we should be a good chance.

And with the 10 day turnaround, any covid case may not be an issue come game day.
