Wk2 Finals: Parra v Souths GAME DAY thread (10/10/20)

[Tooooks]

Anyone else gone from hoping for an unlikely win to just hoping we don’t get humiliated tonight?

Yeah, I think this could get ugly pretty quickly to be honest. Hopefully Souths bring some complacency.

Well everyone is in shock. But if Jenko tripped over the cat and was out, I doubt that everyone would be writing us off.

Maybe, but everyone (well, every neutral supporter) was writing us off when we were full strength. I’ll wait to see the final lineup before losing all hope.

Gutho needs to play centre if we want to stiffen our defense.

 

[hybrideel]

Yeah i think that's us done now. Our best hope was having Jenko play right centre to nullify our weakness. Now our backline is going to consist of Gutho and backups/rookies and a defensive liability. Going against an attacking outfit like the rabbits, out odds have just blown out to massive proportions.
Will be a huge effort to win from here

more likely Davey to centre in that 17

more likely Davey to centre in that 17

Matterson has played plenty of centre for the Roosters before; Davey hasn't played any centre in First Grade, prior to our reshuffling against Melbourne.

I'd prefer someone with more mobility at centre - Smith, maybe?

But I reckon Arthur will play it safe.

 

[hindy111]

I know what he looks like. I’m going to approach him. I did the same to Colonel last year.

Same I used to work at his factory and steal his pens

 

[Tooooks]

Someone suggested Drown to centre, Smith to 6. Thoughts?

 

[hindy111]

Oh dear....here comes ASADA

That's funny

 

[hindy111]

Salmon in?

 

[Soto]

more likely Davey to centre in that 17

Would prefer to play a back in the backs instead of backrowers in the centre spot..
I don't think Will Smith 5/8 and D Brown centre is a bad idea..especially for defence..that way the way they trained with Taka at right centre with Waqa right wing is probably least disruption

 

[Matty Bhoy]

Surely we ask the NRL for a dispensation to play Dunster? We’ve got nothing to lose, let’s roll the dice.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

The Eels were rocked by the news on Saturday morning and will be given special dispensation to replace Jennings with a player outside the 19 who were nominated 24 hours before kick-off.

[Kornstar]

I assume we will want whoever is the best defensive player in the position.....not sure who that is though.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Reckon it will be either Fergo or Dunster!’

anyhow it’s going to be a very sweet victory tonight!!

 

[hindy111]

Haze named

I would of started W.Smith at fullback and Guth to centre

 

[hindy111]

It's kind of exciting in a way.
Haze to debut
