Round 3 Vs Broncos

[possm]

Surely Lafai won't play, Lomax to right centre, Aitken to left centre and Dufty still on the bench so Mary can do the spine shuffle later in the game. Is he just trying to confuse Siebold?

Or:
Dufty to fullback
Widdop to left centre
Lomax to right centre
Aitken to the bench

 

[Crush]

Lomax to get zero minutes.
Tonight we play with 16 men.

 

[BLM01]

I thought Lafai was OK. but geez...Lomax to bench?
I can only think he omitted Dufty cause it has been pissing down, wet & slippery surface and speed wont be needed?..God knows...maybe God cant work it out either.

Who knows what goes through his mind, besides not much. But if it’s because of the slippery surface wouldn’t another forward be the better option.

I think you’ll turn the tables on us.
One thing that Seibold does is expose a teams weakness which is our edge defence. Think of the times last year where the Bunnies picked off the right edge for Robert Jennings score try after try.
Oates & Isaako are a scary prospect.

Agreed. We lost against. Souths, in Mary’s own words , because forwards didn’t go forward, a number of young forwards and injury.Yet he names again an outside back instead of another forward. I’ve never been able to understand his bench decisions

If memory serves, then didn't we un-ceremoniously dump you blokes out of last years series?

Here's to a cracker match...

 

[Dragsters]

GO THE MIGHTIES!!!

 

[getsmarty]

Mary just interviewed..a few of the backs under an injury cloud....Why play them ??? If Lafai is injured play Lomax and have a fresh player on bench..eg Robson or Kerr.

 

[Mark D]

Not sure what to expect tonight... Just want us to be competitive for the full 80... I mentioned some time back I didn’t expect us to have a great start to the year but felt with the talent in this team and when it gels we would come home with a wet sail... either way go Dragons.... give em hell..

 

[Mickthedragon]

Mary comes up with the masterstroke late change to give young Zac the last 5 mins of the game instead of Duf.
He seemed under the pump a bit and was short with Freddy when questioned on the change. I hope we get up but just can't see it with the side he's picked.
They will have to play out of their skins like the last semi.
