Team list Tuesday vs Titans - Sunday 6.15pm

Asi to centre, Simonsson to wing?
Simonson needs to stay at centre I believe, playing his best footy there. Would not move him

This was responding to question on an injury during the match to Sivo if Asi was on the bench.

In that instance, we're not puting Asi on the wing before Simonsson.

Moretti grabbing a bench spot is the success story of 2023. He also doesn’t fall off tackles like Ogden when fatigued. I’m still perplexed with the Davey inclusion. He is quite average. Possibly has better defence than the other options.

I'd have to say hands is the success story of 2023. Came from the clouds to as it stands be the long term answer post reed.

Morretti just seems to have a play speed atm that's undeniable.

Davey, I think they like that size and flexibility.

Moretti will fall off tackles. He’s a fine player but don’t put him on pedestal and throw him under bus when he has an inevitable shit one.
Davey is necessary because of Lane’s season. He’s done that job ok, I’d probably still have him there for that role while Lane continues to find his legs (Lane’s fitness wasn’t one of his strong suits before injury) but once he’s ready then I think Davey’s spot on bench could be better utilised (maybe that’s Moretti).
Ideally though IMO is Davey is where we need Doorey to be. They’re similar, Davey is just fitter, but Doorey’s run game has way more upside, especially as a bench role

I don't mind Davey. He's like a Aldi Marata. Can play middle or edge, but if Luca or Doorey or <insert newby> are ready to step up, he won't block their pathway.

The thing is, he is a BA favey.... there were reports that BA wanted to sign him for the beginning of the season but he went to the dogs coz the chinese was better.

Then we got him mid-season.... so he is someone on BA's faves list. So will he block them? Luca and Emu aren't listed on the squad succession for next year... if they aren't going to be here next year, Davey just might be picked because he is reliable

Lots of assumptions, ifs mights and maybes there.

On the internet in a thread about rumours?? Shock horror!!

It's not the rumours thread, it's the very factual and to the point Team List for the week thread.

You should be shocked

Shit!! So it is!! I take everything back Derp Derp Derp!!

 

[Snoochies]

No injuries and a well rested Gutho. Time to make our run to the finals. Must win game.

If Luca and emu aren’t here next year, we will be in a world of hurt, two of our best prospects!!!!

 

[the phantom menace]

If Hodgson gets a medical retirement, maybe his reported $400,000 2024 contract can be paid out this year, meaning we might have more cap available for next year to re-sign our unsigned prospects?

Emu is injured. I’d say he’d be part of the top 17 if fit.

Where's the fun in that?

*no injuries from origin.

Isn't it an insurance claim?

 

[Twizzle]

Isn't it an insurance claim?

assuming it wasn't one of the 247 pre-existing injuries he bought with him

I’m gonna have another whinge about our schedule. Sunday 6pm. There has honestly been maybe 2 games all season that an out of Towner with a job could get to. Regional tickets must be way down.
We better get a damn good schedule next year to compensate.

There's a Wallabies match at CommBank Sat and I think they have been shifted about because of the FIFA WC.
