Doorey for Maka. Conditions?

 

[Gazzamatta]

Gee thats a bloody good Bronx Team.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

FML I am going to need to bend over for @hineyrulz I know it

 

[King-Gutho94]

Corey Oates back in is a positive for us I reckon.

He always has the fumbles when he play us.

 

[Gronk]

Is Emu really going to play in *feels like* 33 degrees ?

 

[King-Gutho94]

Is there anyone on here going to Darwin this week.

Went in 2021 it was a great night and 10 days spend in the NT after the Darwin game that year.

Gee thats a bloody good Bronx Team.

Apart from swapping their 4 and 5 for our 4 and 5, any other direct swaps you would make mate?
(I am not talking about swapping Payne Haas and Wiremu Greig - direct swaps as per numbers on their jerseys)

I will probably go.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Used to play for the cowboys mate.

And he actually played in the 2021 Darwin match.

As I remember he come over to our section in the crowd after the game that night and spoke to my dad as one of my dad's mates from Townsville knew Wiremu from his time up there.

So he should be fine

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That's up to him, amirite ?

He's like a old dino Ferrari. Looks good but costs a fortune and will probably run like a tractor most days now.

Nobody can say that he does not have the talent and it is not his body that is holding him back.

He only ran the ball three times in half a game of footy last weekend.

 

[King-Gutho94]

He only ran the ball three times in half a game of footy last weekend.

In defence of Waqa.

Rankin was passing them 10m behind him and the winger into touch every time they shifted the ball.

No big deal he was cheap. Nobody wanted him. We took a chance and got him for peanuts.

I also heard N.Brown didn't get much out of us. He just wanted to chance to play NRL again. We don't bend over these days.

 

[yy_cheng]

wow, really surprised with Emu and Maka

I would've thought these conditions will suit Maka more than Emu

 

[yy_cheng]

They've got a good team.

 

[hindy111]

They've got a good team.

The humidity and slipper ball means they may make a lot of errors. Grieg is an interesting choice.
Why Simmonson isn't back in considering he played well his last few games and Dunster was utter trash both games is simply astonishing. It blows my mind. Let's hope there is a late change because its very stupid.

We will run Hodgson and Hands at the sametime. Both will play 50mins. Grieg will get about 15mins I feel.

Emu might not make 15 mins,

I reckon Emu gone and Doorey dropped and Maka or Murchie in.

We need middles who have some sort of fitness as Junz and Reg might not last that long either

Reg and Junior played 39 and 49 mins respectively in 2021 and 46 and 43 mins in 2022.
In 2021 Cartwright came off the bench and played 54 mins straight and Will Smith got long minutes despite Mahoney playing 80. In 2022 Matterson played the Cartwright role with 55 mins straight, after starting on the bench.

 

[the phantom menace]

So a nod to Doorey over Makatoa into the named 17, with the presumed return of Hodgson.

Murchie and Simonsson just along for the trip, unless BA has a backline switcheroo planned. Didn't expect to see Asi named in the 22 - maybe he has a relative up there to visit?
