No Luai mentioned it last week

The plan was always for Souths
24 - Nathan Cleary. He still may not play but he's been listed in reserves as predicted. Luai was probably under instructions to say that anyway. Ivan's mind games in full throttle.

What a magnificent film clip. Quite risque for its day. Old Blue Eys left his mark on Nancy thats for sure. I also quite like Jackson.

Some years ago at Penny Park, This song was played when an opposition player was either set off, or given 10 in the bin.

I'm going to be very amused Smug, if Cleary, Fish and SS play. Probably because you have such a shot fuse, about these things.
Fish and Soro would be subject to fitness tests. Basically if they pass, you can only play them if you have named them. Nathan on the extended bench might be a bit of IC silly buggers or might be to stop the kid bugging him.

Who cares if he wants to play silly games with his team lists, I don’t see why it causes so much angst for some as long as we keep winning he can name the Tarsha Gale ladies on Tuesday for all I care.

Elite clubs don't do petty mind games

Even if that is true do you really think it matters? Ivan’s Tuesday team sheats are somehow going to stop us from being elite? We don’t have to copy other clubs to be successful.

If it doesn't matter then why do it?

IMO it shows a lack of confidence. Like if we name the correct 1-17 it will give the other team a leg up.

I don’t think it’s mind games at all.

I’d say that Nathan is very close to being ready and needs to play. Rehab will only get you so far, if he’s ready, he needs to play.

If he’s not quite ready, he’ll sit another week. At least this way, he has the option of playing.

Fish and Sorro will be good to go. Sounds like they pulled up really well.
