Game Day 2024 Round ZERO Discussion

[WaynesWorld19]

 

[A Bit Dusty]

They played Balta and Kossi last match and Balta will stay, but i think Kossi might be a ways off the mark, so Ryan might take his place.
Lynch expected back for round one.

Ryan played last week.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I don't want to look at and make changes to my team anymore - can we start the Round ONE discussion thread

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Grundy sole ruck for swans

 

[Spacedog]

Roberts sub?

 

[pincrusher]

 

[King_Steele]

Laurie named most likely sub candidate

 

[King_Steele]

Sticking with English/Gawn

Grundy didn’t pass the eye test IMO

 

[King_Steele]

Rumour on Dees board Billings will be sub

[A Bit Dusty]

Roberts sub?

I think Fox but only a guess

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Roberts sub?

Fox or Wicks maybe?

 

[toxic]

Roberts sub?

Wicks imho

 

[King_Steele]

Tempted to start Oliver

 

[VainGlorious]

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Jordon named on ball

Meeeee

 

[Spacedog]

I think Fox but only a guess

They have 6 defenders on the field and Cuningham and Roberts on the bench. One has to be sub unless they decide to put one of them forward or something. Can’t see why you’d train guys in a certain spot over preseason and change it completely for the first game

 

[evo]

Hmmm Billings and Roberts on the bench is not great.

This sub business is just going to be a nightmare.

 

[Petrify]

No Ladhams. Grundy is a go.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

No Ladhams. Grundy is a go.

I hope he goes under 100 and scares heaps away

 

[Ed_Gein]

Fox or Wicks maybe?

Yup, those would be my picks. Fox the more likely. He started as sub a few times last season, don't think Wicks ever has.

 

[TempletonTheRat]

Spargo off a limited pre-season and no practice games listed on field - any chance he is the sub?

 

[54Dogs]

Spargo off a limited pre-season and no practice games listed on field - any chance he is the sub?

Think the sub has to come from the 5 on bench

 

[kaiserchief13]

Why do people care who sub is? Merely for price changes after 3 games?

 

[TempletonTheRat]

I hope he goes under 100 and scares heaps away

wouldn't be the first time he has sub tonned in the first game before going on a run of 130+ scores
