Caleb 18th man???????,

Need leg speed.in the middle.

Have fwd with said attribute ready to go.

Lose our best available prop.

Ignore ready made fwd and choose a rag doll replacement instead.

Win lose or draw tonight, we aren't winning much with this guy.

We don’t always agree, but on this one I think you are spot on, honestly it seems a strange selection

He won’t change anything until we go to absolute sh*t. So if we keep winning don’t expect to see any exciting changes

Ah thought we might already be there ??

If not , tonight or next week , definitely there

Interesting stat, 14 of their 21 tries this year on the left edge. I'd like to know which side we have conceded most on. It's normally the Garrick / DCE edge ( the Dragons left edge)

I don't like our pack. I think the Dragons wills team roll us up the middle. Our pack needs to go above and beyond for us to get the points tonight

And hopefully Daly actually gives Ola PLENTY of ball and it's not the Brooks to Burbo show as it has been all season.

I also want to see better 4th tackle options. We seem to have this tactic of taking a settler on the 4th with Jake or Brown taking a hit up rather than giving our speed a chance.

If we lose tonight 100%. 3 straight defeats if we lose tonight

I forgot I was too old for the hill now

Jeez there is so much optimism on this thread tonight ..... I almost feel like I'm in dark Mode thread but without @The Royal Soup yet. I get the sense that none of us are really looking forward to watching this.

Sad but potentially true

Look it’ll just depend on the frame of mind , they want to win , they’ll win. If they don’t care , they’ll lose.

But I seriously don’t get Clayton F on the bench , our forwards are weak already snd you add a light weight back 🤷🤷🤷

Yep, it's a strange one. Navale should be on the bench.

It’s funny how life changes , it’s like me and tents ( all the go 20 years ago ). Now , not a hope in hedes.

 

[Wombat64]

In all seriousness outside of maybe Parra is there a weaker pack of forwards?
