Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

Low key I genuinely think the club thinks Horse has another week - he doesn’t need to return via cup. It’s suspension unlike the 36 year old second rower. Also because I’m still annoyed at the Guler selection… 2022: 76 run metres per game 2023: 87 run metres per game Career average of 0.83 tackle b...

Re: The Boxing Thread

Fundora is as decent a replacement as you'll find- at least he's a name. Everybody gets the jitters when they come up against Tszyu it seems. If Thurman really wants to come back after 3 (?) years out, mayb e best he eases back in because Tszyu seems ready to chew the division up. Yep, Fundora will...

He dropped Ata and kept Guler. :doubt: We all knew EW was always coming straight back in. That's the strange one for me Dubs. The game is fast paced and we pick the slowest forward we have.

Re: 2024 Rd 3 v Warriors: Teams and Previews

Cotric in on the wing. EW in. No mention of HorsPower. Hosking bench in place of Ata. Guler still there?

So glad Hosking did not get the Left Right Out position. Can cover both back row and center.

With Johnson kicking for the Warriors, Sticky would want players proven capable of defusing kicks in the wing and full back positions. He could leave (the now leaping) Hoppa on one wing with Xav and Rapa and bring Schiller into center. Or he could put Hoppa at center and bring in a fresh winger. If ...

Kris did not come back from his HIA. So does Hoppa come back into left center and Cotric onto the wing or does Schiller get an opportunity in FG at center? I reckon Sticky will go with Hoppa to center and Cotric back onto the right wing.
