As if they weren't already going to struggle kicking a decent score without Langford or Wright... Guelfi also injured too. Would make this game a non negotiable must win if Kako is also out.
Kako has a lifetime goal kicking tally of 1. They are in big trouble if not having him means they can no longer kick a winning score.
 
I think Sid would have more impact coming on mid way through the game than most of our other options so suspect he stays as sub

I'm not having a go at you specifically here, but I've been hearing this argument a lot lately, and I kind of hate it.

Sid would have a big impact as sub, yes. He would have an even bigger impact playing a full game.

You know who would have a huge impact as sub? Rankine. Or Dawson. Or Soligo. Or any of our best players.

We shouldn't be choosing our sub based on who can impact. Furthermore, we've seen for years now that it's not good for players to play smaller portions of gametime week after week. Draper did his role as sub last week. He deserves a full game this week. Someone else can be sub.

If Sid is perma sub samcro will get very upset
 
I actually think we will go for an extra runner this week - maybe Pedlar for Curtin

Curtin is a better runner than Pedlar though?
 
Laundry done :whitecheck:
Dishes done :whitecheck:


Ready for Thursday Night Selection Meltdown. :whitecheck:
Shouldn't be a meltdown as don't expect changes.

Club won't be swapping Nankervis for Milera.

Don't have an issue for a few games to start off, but not for most of the year.
 
Why is Murphy an emergency?? There are legit 10 or so better options!

Bond, Dowling, Pedlar, Berry, Schoenberg, Taylor, Edwards, Ryan, Jones and obviously Nankervis is already named as an emergency. Every single one of those players deserves a shot before Murphy does.

Its irrelevant, particularly if hes not travelling
IMO it's relevant to the younger blokes in the squad wondering where they sit in the pecking order, when a low-ceiling plodder like Murphy is still ahead of them two weeks in a row (with a full list to choose from)

If I was Dowling and Taylor who finished last season well and are now out of favour compared to Murphy, I'd be pretty annoyed.

I have no idea why people are so hung up on it, I'm almost certain the players wouldn't be.
