Changes versus Port

[Baloo]

Boys seem to be boarding the plane now. Anyone at the airport spotting? We'll take all 26 over according to Jack.

Against Port in Aug. we had 2 rucks - Soldo & Chol (with Jack, Lynch, Balta) so Nank takes Soldo's place. Since Astbury's knee is heavily bandaged he might not tame the gorillas so Broad fills his spot. Certainly worth considering even if only for insurance if Nank goes down. Too late to experiment with Miller. Who else?

No one else.

Jack just said while discussing match ups up forward ,

with myself lynch and perhaps Marbz up there ,

would he drop that name if he wasn’t seriously in the frame ?

Has to be a wind up.
He was terrible in the ruck and worst in the forward line.
Advoided all body contact.
Finals are physical games, taking him is suicide for us.

Broad out Chol In gaining traction on SEN.

I'd be very surprised if Broad got dropped

Dixon on a lead is undefendable, as is any good forward. The issue there is delivery to Dixon on a lead - must win it in the centre or make sure the delivery forward is pressured and/or wide.

They have big strong rucks, even going well I'm not convinced Chol is a good match as he doesn't seem to be able to compete with body strength. He can jump but his timing has been out and you do have to grapple in the ruck. Not looking like the solution to me.

Against that is that Nank on his own is not great (risky too) and how does Nank feel about this, does he feel he can cope with rucking alone? Of course, with Astbury back Balta is an option as a ruck/defender.

I'm still thinking no change and we try and nullify any ruck advantage with players like Graham in the middle making sure they don't get clean possession.

Putting in Chol would smell of desperation by the match committee.

So I hope it is a rumour.

 

[Jake]

Do they get the tarps out of the storeroom for this one or do they have enough supporters this year?

Like you Seven, I worry about that as a selection. He did nothing in the last two games he played, so how is he going to change that around??

What is the weather for tomorrow night??

There is a chance of rain Friday night and if that happens then maybe Chol will not be in the team.

Dimma has earned our trust but i think that would be seriously questioned if he plays Chol this week. I saw enough in his last few games to not want him in the side again - structure or not. WE can't have the risk in a prelim of one guy not pulling his weight and walking around half-arsed.

 

[jgarg]

If Cotchin wins the toss needs to kick to the North (Hill Area)

 

[Harry]

Reckon Dimma will want to play Chol considering how easily we exposed their backline last time with limited fwd entries. Second ruck isn't his main thought.

Then bring in Caddy who is good marking, strong bodied pest.

 

[Giardiasis]

Yeah Chol as a forward is ineffective. Would we use him so Nank could move forward?

Gee I hope not, Broad was very good last week.

You have back the match committee guys if they put Chol in I think they have earned it.Leave Nank ruck alone with a chop out is a risk , put Chol in could work or fail.
