This is exactly the reason we have Thomas on our list cold wet Friday night game against the scum bring him in and let him ride shotgun for cotch .
Carter said:dunno Brissy, I think we're running an intercept style at the mo anyway.
Maric has been gettin' beaten in the ruck and we've hoovered off the back of the square.
Vickery as #1 won't matter too much on Friday night I would've thought.
As long as we harass their first possession we'll be peaches.
Bunnerz said:have no problems seeing Thomas playing this week
Tigers of Old said:With the forced changes, we're weaker this week no doubt.
Midsy said:Has Hampson been playing?
Bill Haverchuck said:if west coast can be pushing for the top 4 without their two key backs we should be able to comfortably beat the blues
no excuses
And no Nick Duigan to arse 3 goals. This just leaves ......Levi Casboult to pull one out of the bag!Tiger Pops said:Have to win this one. Keep the space between us - geel/nth/port
No Hail Mary 65m Brock McLean win with the last kick, no Judd brilliance to get them over the line, no Betts to carve us up.
To to mature and put this team to the sword!!!! Expecting a BIG smile at 1/4 time and for the rest of Friday nights game
Hardwick agrees. He doesn't see winning the hit out as vital, it's what we do with the first possession after it that counts.Tommy H said:I don't see the ruck issue this week as being as big a problem as some on here. Sheesh we got absolutely thrashed in the ruck against Sandilands and Freo have got a much better onball group then Carlscum and we still managed to beat them - on their own turf as well. We need to be smart around the ball and kick straight for goal when the opportunities arise.
