Match Discussion: Round 7 vs Roosters @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[Spot On]

Well, to their credit, they have been in a position to win 5 from 6 yes?

Yeah punching well above their weight. Worried about the Chooks after a couple of losses though and Buhrer is a massive loss.

If we'd had better luck in even 1-2 of those games the tone around here would be completely different.

What's happened to Daniel?

 

[PhilGould]

Tupou being rested apparently, so both twins will likely be in the 17.

Rested? He's played two games...

Whats happening with the dummyhalf rotation? I dont think we can expect Levi to play 80min every wee for the next 2 months...

Im worried we're headed for a "Neville Costigan to Dummyhalf" situation again.

(maybe move Hodko to dummyhalf and have Lamb do everything. Not much more than he does now...)

 

[PhilGould]

I'd say Randell will get called up if Kostjasyn isn't back soon. Randell couldn't be brought in this week because he wasn't in the 21-man squad named.

No it wouldn't. The sky would still be falling for a few.

 

[Glendale]

So looks like Levi will have to go 80. Big test for him, interesting to see how he goes.

 

[PhilGould]

Daniel will replace Stockwell in the starting lineup.

I don't understand why we can't expect Levi to play 80 minutes in his third (?) season in top grade.

Ffs, Brailey at the Sharks has been playing 80 and he's only played 6 games

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Hopefully he handles it well. We need him to be lively around the ruck.

 

[Pedge1971]

Looks like a pretty handy crowd there tonight from the few pics I have seen on Twitter.

 

[Burns]

There is a very very good crowd here.

 

[Pedge1971]

One set from each team and we look massively outgunned in size and power.

 

[Tom155]

No penalty for that smh

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

How the f**k was that not a penalty for Sio??
