Round 21 v Raiders

[Mickthedragon]

Far out , Hook is no better than Mary with some of these team selections.
Ramsay at centre does not work.

Where is Kerr?

Kerr and Beale are serving their BBQ suspensions.

Ellis did play well last week, deserves to play in front of Alvaro.

So Bird goes from playing Centre to 2nd row to Fullback lmao

It's so cruel that the week we finally get Lomax back to contest attacking kicks, we lose Hunt who has been on fire with his kicking.

I don't like Norman but his bombs are okay I suppose.

Read between the lines guys

I did and it said Corey Norman is a fraud…why pick him!

 

[Brutalitops]

Also a rare piece of positivity from our recent matches. Billy Burns is looking better back to his natural position and out of centres. Would say he is worth keeping around for a while longer.

Strange selection for mine.
Anyway, season is done.
One f**king expensive bbq.

 

[Spazer]

I might be in the minority here but I don't mind the clune and norman pairing, they both know how to kick deep and we need that against the raiders big men, as long as norman doesn't kick it out on the full again, we need his pinpoint bombs to lomax.

Also clune is very underrated, our edges run better lines with him on the field imo.

Season is just about done and dusted but I still want to win.

bird at FB - he'll be good for 6-8 fumbles FMD, thought Sloan was solid last week

Bird at centre and Dufty at fb would make sense, it would give us some structure we've been missing and tighten up our defence as well as give us some attacking options we'll need without Hunt. Ramsey is barely a first grade winger let alone a centre, crazy selection. Hopefully Hook changes things before kick off. Surely Norman is on his last chance.
Ordinary bench but the starting pack is reasonably strong.

Saints by 4

Have there been any updates on McInnes' knee ? Any chance of a surprise return this year - you know, in case we make the finals ? I'm only half kidding, any word ?

A good size for second rower, knows how to run angles and a good pass.

Good one Kit!!

hmmmm...very confusing all this selection business

Hook is trying to blood the juniors not bludgeon them.

That’s why Sloan is not in the squad.

I can see Hook play Ramsey at fullback with Bird to play centre.

Alternatively, if Ramsey does have a fractured wrist, Dufty will play fullback with Bird to centre.

As for the bench, I have no problem with Amone at 14.

Sullivan has had very little football and may be deemed not fit enough yet.

Clune is playing for his career so I expect him to have a big game. Norman is playing 6 because he is the remaining senior player in the backline.

Good to see Rava back.

Fire up Saints. Now is the time. Everyone has written us off.

If Clune is playing for his career then he better learn how to tackle, his attempts last week was again embarrassing.

Very very strange side, does Hook ever listen to my posts?

He’s with the Sharks already I heard. He’s doing rehab with them.
