Buuuullshit.

Your trolling failed and now you're decapitating it in it's head

Sam already plays in the middle mate

Lol. I also loved how When he tried to fix his post it was to “decapitate Farah AGAIN”. I can just picture the medicos sticking Robbie’s head back on, then zombie Robbie running out Thursday and getting decapitated AGAIN.

Trying to decapitate your shame in the head huh?

 

[Rabbits20]

Never heard of you.

I know who it is I reckon...

Anyhow just heard Seibs insights and Jennings is back.

Also Britt is being rewarded and will come onto the bench. My guess is that will be for Tatola who has put kilos on imo.

Not sure who is the 14 bit it’ll be either Hunt or Fui.

Unless we are going with four forwards.... but I doubt that.

Is form that important come finals time?: https://www.nospam21.com/is-form-that-important-come-finals-time-35988/

Great to hear that Jennings should be back for this one, that'll help out a lot and he'll be primed to make up for lost time right before the finals. Also, I'm glad that Seibs has decided to shake it up with a minor change and bring in Britt. Big Red has been killing it in the lower grades thais year and I can't wait to see how he does out there in his first game for 2018.

However, who he comes in for, I'm not sure. I can't see him coming in for Clark due to it being his last reular season home game so I think it'll be for Tatola too which means Sam will most likely spend some time at prop on Thursday night.

This move will put the squad on notice and show that Seibs isn't afraid to be ruthless at this stage of the season, this is a good thing.

Here's my predicted Line Up for this week,

1. Johnston
2. Graham
3. Inglis (C)
4. Gagai
5. Jennings
6. Walker
7. Reynolds
8. T.Burgess
9. Cook
10. G.Burgess
11. Sutton
12. Crichton
13. S.Burgess

14. Fuimaono
15. Murray
16. Clark
17. Britt

If Seibold names that bench and then only gives them the sort of minutes they got last week again, I'm going to be mighty pissed. I expect Murray and Clark should get at least a full half each and Fui and Britt should play 20 minutes each. Otherwise, we may as well not bother.

The Tigers plan is to hold us down in defense and move us around when they have the ball. They do it well every time they play us. Their 1 - 5 get into dummy half or a pass or two off the ruck and create havoc among our big men with their speed.

We need to counter this by giving our bench plenty of time in the middle. Guys like Murray and Clark particularly aren't that big. They are smaller mobile tackling machines and they are perfect for countering that type of game plan.

Well, we are finally back to full strength! As I said, will be great to have Jenko back and awesome that Britty gets an opportunity. Tatola will be gutted that this is the first game this year he's gonna miss however, he hasn't been good enough lately and hopefully this will make him pull finger. Some might see it as a harsh move but I think it's great to see that Seibs is being ruthless and it shows the boys that if they're not good enough, they'll be out of the side.

Couldn't agree more mate. If Seibs plans to use a bench strategy like that for the rest of the season, we will have no chance. It was really weird on the weekend and hopefully it's just a one off.

Our form lately hasn't been the best but I feel that this side is really just waiting for the finals as that's when it's business time. Hopefully we can find some momentum this week and get back to some of that good form again.

I feel it's been a couple of weeks too late for Tatola. I like the guy but his minutes have been limited for a while now and as i mention a few weeks ago, he could've done with a few games in the two's.

I notice Packer is out for the Tigers but that isn’t much of a loss as he’s been playing like a park footballer anyway imo.

There was a set on our try line where I swore he made at least 1 tackle without the use of one arm. They scored and when the trainer came on, in frustration he pushed him away. He played on. Behind the post at the same time Angus was getting his knee heavily strapped. He played on. Tom left the field replaced by Tatola, while Fui sat on the bench.
