Frost?

Bit of a hack, but their tallest KPD....only 194cm.

1 on 1 Chuck would slaughter him... need to get him isolated...

Sicily 188cm, Weddle 191cm.

Jiath 185cm...

Hardwick even shorter....ditto Impey.

So, not much height there at all.

So Frost on Charlie, no one close to Harry.

Would be very tempted to run Kemp and/or Guv through the forward 50.

Weddle and Scrimshaw would both be around 194, Frost 195.

Frost > McKay
Weddle > Curnow

Is scrimshaw any good?

 

[GoBlues!]

Assuming Binns, Carroll and Young are the emergencies.

I would have Cinc, Kennedy, Williams and Owies, all capable of kicking goals, on the I/C.

With Cowan coming in I’d have Boyd a defender as sub.

 

[Accidental genius]

Our followers Pittonet Walsh /hewett

They could run rings around us.

Hawks Number 12 (name ?) in the middle watched him waltz the ball out of the middle time and time against crows last week. Runs into space and a booming long accurate kick to his forwards.

Frost > McKay
Weddle > Curnow

Would be interesting if you played Weddle on Curnow. Curnow usually stays deepest forward.
From what I've seen of Hawks this year Weddle has been very good with his run off half back/through the wings, it might limit him.. or maybe it forces Charlie to chase and defend.

Mitchell is a smart coach, interested in how he sets them up this week.

 

[LanceRomance]

Hawks haven't really beaten anyone of note lately. Maybe freo but that was in tassie.

If I recall correctly the stats show they don't do so well with ball coming in. They do well at preventing the ball going in, however, but yeah once it goes in they're liable to be beaten, so I'm not overly worried about their defensive matchups as much as the half back line/stoppage work before it gets there.

Neither have we Lance.

North the only win in the last 5 games.

Put a fork in us, we are cooked. Might sneak into the 8 but making up the numbers. Hawks on form should beat us comfortably. If Curnow is out, pencil in a loss

 

[Soapy V]

If he is out I’d like to see us go smaller and no be so one dimensional. Might make us less predictable

 

[myblueroan]

We can win without Charlie for sure.

 

[Blues of 77]

If he is out I’d like to see us go smaller and no be so one dimensional. Might make us less predictable

We looked better last week when he was off. Martin became the second tall and forward entry was cleaner. I'm comfortable we'll be more dynamic without him for this game (and would prefer we rest him if he's not able to play).

Not having a go or anything but we beat the side you lost too last weekend by 66 points 3 weeks ago.

Hawks certainly playing well, we'll need to find some form to knock you off

 

[myblueroan]

Oh well, you will beat us for sure then.

 

[Benaly28]

Ah well Coleman’s done to looks like everything’s turning to shit now.

Not having a go or anything but your guernsey colours are consistent with my toilet outing this morning.

Let’s hope they play that way too!

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Is scrimshaw any good?

Has been brilliant as a CHB this season. Great foot skills and strong aerially, stats wise shows this in terms of his defensive performance but especially off the intercept.

One that has really lifted.

 

[Pinnell]

Surely Jenkins is just trying to drum up some speculative $ for Sportsbet, one of his employers

Edit ; no change in betting odds, neither game nor Coleman - If there was some substance they would be the first to react

Mitchell is a smart coach, interested in how he sets them up this week.

I would presume Weddle takes whoever is further afield, did a good job earlier in the year on Jeremy Cameron in particular as a CHB upfield, Jezza said it was one of the hardest matchups he’s had due to his tank so hard to burn off, whilst also being someone the forward needs to defend on the counter.

How much did you lose to the cats by?

Regarding the pies, we lost two players before half time and only lost by 3
