Round 3 V Bulldogs

It's kind of fun because I'm curious by nature but what's the point of starting all the speculation?

Exactly. I would prefer not to have even been told. Our depth will also be seriously stretched if we lose a forward like RCG for 4-6. Not to mention the fact that it will really drop our performances down a notch.

Is our injury curse coming back!?

The curse is real people!

THE CURSE IS REAL!

I'll still probably get the sacrificial lamb out at midnight and chant the night away... Just in case

I hope its not Merrin or Sauce.

Did JFH come back on after his initial stint?

I couldn't remember but just went back and had a quick look at the match replay, and JFH was on in the second half, so yes, he did come back on.

We look like we will be in the unfortunate position of heading into round three already suffering three injuries (one season ending and another reasonably long).

DWZ is out for 6 weeks with a broken jaw....

Bummer... Thankfully he can be replaced and its not one of our key spine players

That's bad luck for him, but so long as Crichton replaces him, it causes about the least disruption to the team of anyone.

Probably bad news for Blake they play well together.


Surely our supercoach won't move Waqa to the wing?.......He has form making this ridiculous decision

I’d say there is a good chance that Blake will go to the wing and Peachey into the centres (allowing us to have an extra forward on the bench).

It does have the advantage of giving Peachey extra game time.

Crichton had better be a straight replacement.

Whare and Blake are terrible on the wing. Even though its apparently easy to do and make 150m a game.

 

[ACTPanthers]

Well f**k me... The injury curse is back...

Crichton should be the replacement, but I can see a backline shuffle with Peach coming in, Blake to wing, and another forward on the bench instead.

 

[Fangs]

If you can’t say who, I’m confused as to why you would say anything.

Because it gets the people going my friend.

Its about time we've had some more speculation on this forum.

Crichton will be our winger next year so good experience for him now

No Crichton will play. Coach loves him

Really happy to hear it. I'd rather less disruption and a rookie. Leave our best centre and our international centre to get better where they are.

 

[GongPanther]

Any foul play involved with DWZ's jaw? Keep in mind we were playing Souths.

 

[Fangs]

Should be a simple change. Crichton in DWZ out.

Blake killing it at centre, Peachey doing what he does (Winning football games) off the bench last week. No need to get fancy.
