Is Dylan Lucas an option?

Sasagi replaces Gagai, Sue comes onto the bench.
No other changes.

Once again, God help us...

Surely Brodie Jones doesn't play either.

 

[Knight76]

so who comes in for Gagai?

How dare you post like it matters.

Here we were all ready to ignore this game and discussion about who we play breaks out.

Can I be abducted by aliens and do that whole skip a period of time thing? Just for Sunday please alien overlords!

The probing would be worth it.

Accountability

We don’t have much options, lots of injuries, pick fittest 17 and select in best positions, hope the fittest are also the ones that want to win, don’t expect a win but a good effort, play hard and strong will do me

Joey ranked his NSW centres into 3 different tiers, and he put Bradman in the lowest tier but said he could be in the highest, but it's "all up to you Bradman". Interesting little call out I thought.. See how Bradman responds this weekend.

 

[TooheysNew]

Still think the bloke is a backrower.

.. See how Bradman responds this weekend.

Shouldn’t need to respond to “criticism” or “challenge”. Needs to play strong every time. Not happening bar 20%.

He hasn't necessarily had this challenge or criticism though. Usually it's "he's such a beast, get him early ball". So now he will start hearing the opposite and be challenged to hopefully deliver on his hype.

Agreed. Media thinks he is a star. There’s a reason highlights last sub 30 seconds.

For the past decade or so, I've gone into every game think g we might pull off a miracle win somehow. Every single game, no matter how terrible we were doing.

This game is the first game in forever I have given up belief and hope. It actually feels sort of liberating.

I really like watching the Storm's attack and it'll be fun to watch at least. I don't think we will lose by 70 but I wouldn't be surprised to see 50 put on us. I'll just enjoy it though.

Just got an email saying this game has free entry for kids. Why would you put your child through that kind of emotional trauma?

To be fair, most kids are tougher than our current squad.

He must have started his weekend early

He must have started his weekend early

Very early. Just after round 2 I think.

 

[Old dog]

Think we will be soundly beaten this week but hoping that reserves and Flegg might be a chance even though both of them are weakened by our injuries.
Reserves telecast this week on foxtell.
Watch it and if win replay it and watch again instead of 1sts

Yep. And we are crazy not making the shift. Increases our mobility. Gets him more ball. And he will grow into it. Hymel can play centre when he returns. Has before.

Mann is out
