Team reduced to 19.

1-17 and Sasagi and Hoy remain on extended bench.

IF Clune doesn't play I imagine that means Crossland to 7 and Sasagi on the bench.

AOB mentioned Hoy, Crossland and Mann in that order.

AOB mentioned Hoy, Crossland and Mann in that order.

Just watched it. Glad he said we've had a good LONG preparation this week.

So I hope there's no excuses tomorrow evening.

 

[Old dog]

We don’t need excuses, every team goes through long breaks, short turnaround, injury crisis it’s how you prepare and handle it all that achieves the desired result.

Oh for sure, but it doesn't stop AOB bringing out those excuses each week we have a 6-day, or less, turnaround.

Aaron Woods will dominate this game so badly, that the people of Newcastle will forget the name Dan Tolar

Too bad Sharon isn't playing in this game

AOB mentioned Hoy, Crossland and Mann in that order.

When did he say that?

At least he's a good enough coach to see how useless Crossland is in the halves

 

[Frederick]

Clune out, Crossland HB, Sasagi bench, Hoy 18th

 

[slotmachine]

Yuck.
If we win it might be 3-2

 

[Frederick]

Oh and the Safs have swapped

 

[ryan.a87]

Also Dsaf dropped to bench…jsaf and Klemmer starting is interesting

 

[Jono078]

Swapping the Safs is super interesting because they’ve been equally as bad IMO.

Crossland gets a rock solid chance today. I’m sure he’ll come up with a couple of nice short grabbers but outside of that I’m not sure. Clifford and Ponga need to be heavily involved today.

 

[Allstar Knights]

Giving Daniel the kick up the ass he needs.

 

[Allstar Knights]

Swapping the Safs is super interesting because they’ve been equally as bad IMO.

Both deserve the same treatment but I guess Daniel is a current rep forward and should be performing much better than he is.

 

[ryan.a87]

Unless AOB sees it as a tactic that he wants Dsaf on when McGuire comes on front the bench

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Good to see DSaf get dropped to the bench, he’s been underwhelming to start the season so let’s see if we get a response.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Calling it now.
DSaf to spill his first carry regardless of when.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Calling it now.
DSaf to spill his first carry regardless of when.

It's at the point now that I shudder every time they touch the ball. It's not safe until they've played it and the ball is well away from them.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Good start but way too early.
How we follow up after penalties and errors will tell a lot.

 

[Burwood]

We’re the warriors in this game- shafted by refs already.
