TEAM LIST Round 9 vs Dragons

[Tucker]

Yes. He absolutely saved AD’s blushes and the game on one of the Sharks shifts on Sunday. Not often halves are making up for others defensive lapses around them.

What does this all mean?

To'a against Holmes... give him lots of early ball

 

[hank37w]

Gutho is that player now lol

Toa needs to own Holmes like he did in that memorable game when Holmes was at the Cowboys, he needs to be all over him right from the get go.

This is his chance to prove that he has got it on a consistent basis against quality opposition and not just the odd game every year.

I understand the need for player welfare particularly in later life when the symptoms of head knocks become more apparent but why do they go to the extreme when they bring in a crackdown and then make an adjustment the next week.
All that was missing when Abdo was on 360 the other night was the red rubber nose.

Pretty sure if there was a camera under the table you might have seen the big floppy shoes.

St George is the type of team that tests us. They work hard & are physical. This has been the areas we have struggled in during recent seasons.

This will be a tough game.

I will be very happy with a similar result to 2023 and anything better than a 2 point win is a bonus, as you say they have a hard physical side with speed out the back.

Anyone that takes this game lightly after the tough hard fought win we had last week is a fool.

I shouldn't wish it on a young upcoming player but I hope their young half back has a shocker, but won't be surprised in the least if he looks origin level against us. (we tend to have those things happen)

 

[hank37w]

Weve dropped 2 from 2 against queensland teams and won 3/3 v NSW teams in past magic rds

Really hoping we can win well as.im quite confident we can testnMelb the following week....going down there with 2 decent scalps would be huge for us

It would probably enable us to keep our record intact of failing to win 3 in a row. 🤣

On a serious note, this St.George game is another one of those must win season defining games that make me very nervous.

 

[hank37w]

Jack Bird will have a good game. He’ll want to prove a point to old mate Flanno

Either that or he will do some really stupid shit.

The 2 days extra St.George have to get ready for this week plus travel time to Brisbane takes another day out of the preparation for both teams.
In my eyes makes St.George favourites to win this game.

Every week seems to be a must win game for the Tigers!

I tend to agree but just hope they we muster up enough grit to get over the top of the Drag Queens, would not be surprised if it's another nail biter.

These Tigers are really hard on my ticker.

When you lose games that were there for the taking, that's what it ends up coming down to.

That was poorly worded.

Anytime try scorer

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Looks like Starford is out, Nado to Centre & Staines on the wing.

Not ideal 😅

Staines isn't even in the 22. Where did you see this?

Bugger, hope it's a mistake but unlikely

 

[JC99]

Terrible news, Naden does not defend well at centre.

Again, wish the club would update us on that stuff. Worst club in the league for injury updates
