Round 12 vs Souths

[RedVDave]

We beat them once in 2018 IIRC.

Ah my mistake our I was thinking 2016 because of THAT field goal attempt by Inglis which made that game very memorable.

I’d keep Saab and bring back JP. Rava needs a rest, Saab needs some continuity. Also love to see Sailor given a shot at 6. Can’t see it happening though.

 

[Dragonslayer]

It would be interesting to see Sailor selected but I don’t think he will be. I expect him to head to the Broncos next year. He won’t be with us.

With Clune out, it seems pointless to readjust the team for 1 game. Putting Hunt back to 7 and Cam back to 9 on a dreary Thursday night is a risk.

So, I'd leave Hunt at 9 and Cam at 13 and play Sullivan at 7. If he's our future, then let's see what he can bring. I agree, I don't think Sailor will be with us next year so why pander to him.
I expect JP to return in place of Saab. I'd also like Blacker to get a bench start in place of Merrin, but maybe having Brittain would be a better option.

Pander to Sailor ? What has he done wrong ? Why wouldn't he feel there was no future at the club when you can't break in even though everyone but the coaches can see that Norman is a dud ?

 

[SaintPeter]

A positive!

At least we're not talking about Lafai!
One gone a few more to go soon hopefully.

Other clubs constantly blooding 18 & 19 year olds and now Souths wanting to change the rules for 17 year olds meanwhile we promise kids a chance, sign them up, give them a tiny glimpse & drop them, sign an extension with them with more promises, don’t pick them despite obvious reasons to actually do so and when they complain if we take notice evidently we are pandering to them.
That will do me.

Our lot , Board coaches are a gutless lot .... In many ways , that is why the club is caught in a time warp ......

OR sign up nuffs nuffs like Kufusi & Maranta and use them as roadblocks for the young players.

Sailor hasnt played for 4months...he's not match fit and won't be risked IMO...i think they will go w Hunt/Norman combo Mciness to 9 , I reckon Kerr will start over Lawrie...I wish to be proven wrong though and give Sailor the 6..

And if Norman was injured then what?

 

[Eatons Hill Dragon]

Almost team list time.
Let’s see if Mary has a set and goes with Sailor at 6 and Blacker in 17.
My tip is Hunt to 7 and K Sims on the bench.

 

[VodkaSaint]

Sailor On the Bench, Hunt at 7 LMAO

 

[VodkaSaint]

 

[ALSGI]

And JP in for Saab.

 

[muzby]

Not sure about that side..

Souffs by 8.

And you call me a pessimist

Obviously you like the odds of 6 from 8 better than 6 from 9.

 

[Dragonslayer]

I dpubt this will be the team that runs onto the ground for kick off

 

[mickeylane]

Good news re Sailor,,

 

[mickeylane]

There's a distinct possibility Sailor starts at 5/8 and Hunt to Hooker w Ford back to bench...maybe trying to protect him from any media pressure...good news though that he's in the squad...

This is what i think will happen also.
Ford is not a lock. For me if they were serious withbthis move then Fui would be at lock.
