Round 2 - changes to the team. Richmond v GWS

[tha8ball]

Our most inexperienced midfield since the Port game back in 2019.

Sink or swim.

Yep some boys need to put their big boy pants on and stand up for the club.

 

[Jonesracing82]

Carlscum forward line last night was McKay 204cm, Curnow 193cm, Silvagni 194cm resting forward Dekoning 203cm compare that too
Riewoldt 193cm, Lynch 199cm, Balta 194cm resting ruck Soldo 204cm
IMHO it’s not about being too tall in the forward line Carlscum play very tall in the forward line but it’s their mids and flankers that bring the heat on the opposition ball carrier Whereas atm our mids are nowhere to be seen

true, our fwds kicked more goals in Rd 1 too, problem is their mids got all bar 1 of theirs

looks like our best case scenario this year is crashing the finals party like a bandit from 7-8

the ugly, not the good or the bad

 

[Coburgtiger]

Will Martyn comes in for Duz. Will and Dow are in but I got a terrible feeling our midfield won't be changed one bit.

Aarts was so bad, we've dropped him and not replaced him with anyone.

I like it.

Good news! Top 4 coming up!

Now I just need to hear you say "rebuild", and I'll book my GF ticket.

Parker?

 

[Coburgtiger]

Parker?

I know it's got something to do with the sub, but 4 outs and 3 ins doesn't feel right.

 

[craig]

No RCD, no Stack.

Not even emergencies.

Sigh….

Indictment on them to be honest they both should've been starting last week against the Blues instead of Aarts and Ross.

 

[craig]

Gee Whiz might just kick that wobbly wheel off the RFC this week.

 

[DjJazzyPete]

No RCD, no Stack.

Not even emergencies.

Sigh….

Hearing .. on here that RCD is getting over sore ribs and is not quite ready . Guessing Stack's fitness may not be up to it yet .
But yeah be good to get em in if there fit .

Parker getting games is a worry for me Aarts untouchable wrong message for me.

 

[eZyT]

with vlastuin, lambo, dion, dusty, JR out

and bachar and Dave gone from our accustomed line-up

thats 21 premiership medals

GWS aren't very good, but I cant see us beating them

we look very shaky on paper, very suddenly.

 

[tigerlove]

OF COURSE THEWY BRING HOGAN IN !!!

Seriously this dude only plays like 2 good games a year., and most of them have been against the RFC.

Was cr@p last game against us. Hopefully 2 in a row.

??? Aarts was dropped.

 

[mexican_radio]

our midfield was soundly beat in round 1.
Round 2 OUT: Prestia, Martin

 

[Mycotchinrules]

Turns out my supreme optimism for 2022 was directly linked to Prestia's hamstring tendon.

Dusty out, jack out, Cotch battling....

Round 2 and I'm DEFLATED

 

[btoz_01]

??? Aarts was dropped.

Yes but named as an emergency there’s always hope for his massive fan base

 

[UKTiger]

Our most inexperienced midfield since the Port game back in 2019.

Sink or swim.

Got to try the kids as a collective on the big stage sometime as as the cupboard is bare of stars right now we have not a lot of choice. Will still be barracking for them though

 

[craig]

OK WHO WENT AND DUG UP THE TIGER SKIN FFS ??

We are in that limbo stage. Depth players getting a game and kids not ready. Horrible times.
