From the captain’s run video on instagram, didn’t see Samson or Kosi. Looks like both out of the squad. Naismith was decent the other day but we really don’t need two genuine rucks if Nank is back so hopefully Balta backs up and we play another small (Mansell was out there, could be him).
Here they are:

Feel sorry for him if his back is stuffed. An athlete with a bad back is going to need every cent they've got.
Disappointing he's injured given the preseason he's had. Looks like another trivia question for years to come.
His time trial running showed why we have him on the list. I was looking forward to seeing him in games after such a strong preseason. Heres hoping he makes it back

4 Disposals/2 Marks. 1 eff disposal. No score involvements. 83% game time. And that is OK?

Not alone in performing poorly but even in the 2nd half when we had the ball going our way he wasn't involved.
Thought his 1st half was ok. 2nd half non existent. Ball hit our forward 50 just 41 times. You have to give new players more time to grow into the team. Even highly credentialled players can take a few games. I'm not sure he will be dropped now we're hearing Lynch will be playing limited time. Right now I'd prefer to keep him there and play Balta where he's most useful, the backline but we seem committed to Balta forward unfortunately.
 
Kosi and Naismith dropped. Geez that was quick for Naismith....deserved another week.

IN: Duz, Nank, Lynch and Mansell in......why Mansell???
OUT: Ryan, Naismith, Banks and Kosi

Looks like Nank and Balta sharing the ruck.

Going for speed. Balta full-time second ruck.

Lynch the main tall. Reckon Kosi is a bit stiff but it's bold.

Back in the coach. It's round 1 and he is already making a statement. Besides Naismith, the others didn't compete. That's the standard. Good.

Say it again, back in the coach.

Only quibble, would've like to see Kmac and Grimes go for Brown and K-Mac Jnr.

No pussy footing around these changes expected, including banks

Dow who has probably been our best performer over the preseason, I'll cut him some slack for that bad game last week and guess the club felt the same gave him a reprieve.

Too early.
