Preview Changes: R22 vs Brisbane

[jenny61_99]

But still slippery, awful conditions for us, who've struggled in those circumstances in earlier games this year.

It's going to be 24 degrees at 4pm and low humidity (around 36%). Where did you see it would be humid? We normally have the westerly winds at this time of year (Ekka) but they have yet to make their presence felt.

As of yesterday:

Noah Answerth	Face Fractures	1 week
Carter Michael	Quad	TBC
James Madden	Shoulder	season
Will Ashcroft	Knee	season
Keidean Coleman	Eye	1 week

Coleman out is a bonus for us.

Anything definite about Rankine? Too early to come back I reckon. Shouldn't risk the hammy.

 

[Mattrox]

How are Brisbane tracking for injuries? Anyone in doubt?

Rumour, but....

That would be handy

Rachele's KPI this week. Eight tackles. That's it.

Looks like Nank will be out imo. There's was a few times he was a bit underwhelming with his defensive pressure so it's probably the right call in a must win game. Has lots of potential and would like to see him higher up the ground next year.

Out
Nankervis Jones inj Rachele

In
Pedlar Cook Rankine

I was secretly hoping for something like this when I asked.

Nothing too serious, but enough to miss this week.

Yep Coleman is v good

If we lose this game he can rest until round 1 next year. If he's fit he plays.

 

[George Kramer]

Not if you need him for 15 possessions in a SGM

 

[NSolis]

Nah. If he were only going to play one more H&A game this year it should be next week, which overall has a bigger impact on our finals chances (given that Sydney are a competitor for 8th). Obviously it's nice to win them all but we are definitely not resting anyone for the Sydney game. If he's fit he plays out the year, if he's not quite there he gets one more week.

I reckon we’ll name Rankine and take him up to Bris, but still might not play

We’ll see in 15 mins I guess

 

[Mattrox]

Smith saying Rankine not playing.

Nope, just confirmed we have not risked him this week

 

[BACCS]

Obviously didn’t pull up well after main training yesterday, don’t want him making it worse and missing half of pre season

 

[Danger in Texas]

Nope, just confirmed we have not risked him this week

Probably for the best

 

[MrBarry]

Glad they havent risked Rankine, would be negligent.

 

[Danger in Texas]

So just Pedlar for Jones I guess?

 

[Scorpus]

In: Pedlar, Sloane

Out: Jones (injured), Rachele (omitted)

Rachele will be the sub

 

[Scorpus]

So just Pedlar for Jones I guess?

Of course not, we have to cater for Sloane

 

[Danger in Texas]

Of course not, we have to cater for Sloane

Ahhh shit

 

[dogs105]

Would rather Rachele and Sloane the other way around

 

[dogs105]

Sloane is needed in the middle though, after we put Dawson back to cover Jones...
