Manly by 4

Now do I believe Des and change my top to Manly OR think he’s just being Des and leave it on the Drizzle??

 

[Bearfax]

Want a medal or a tissue ?
Classic des move here with afb and jake.. i expect keppie to play lock tof to play starting prop and I guess saddler on the bench

More a dig at The Mole for predicting TRex would be there. I wont require a medal BBRB, but look, if you feel you have to please let me know so I can pick it up. No use wasting it. In fact I noted TRex is not in any grade so I wonder whats happening with him.

 

[Cameron]

Is des foxing. Naming Jake and AFB. Pretty much full strength. How can he have the young fella in the squad saddler isn’t he outside the top 30???

 

[The Who]

I would be nice to know what's happening with our injured players, such as Waddell and T-Rex. How can we hope to compile an accurate YART without knowing availabilities???

True, without knowing who is available we end up putting the YART before the horse.

Pretty sure I saw on Twitter that Corey is injured and as such not considered, ditto with Gosi.

This will be Turbo's first game since 31-08-2019 when the Storm beat us by 30 points. Let's hope he has a blinder as we rack up our first win of the season!

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

**** Dessie, I’m excited

Will have to tie it to the inside of the leg for the week so I can get around ok

Historically Des teams are slow starters, I don't expect to win this weekend nor next but make the top 2 by season's end

 

[Shoe1]

I wondered why people were allowed to post in the game day thread. Seeing it is Tuesday and the game is on Sunday.

Shoulder healing well but Jake won't make it back for opener

Jake Trbojevic's newly-constructed right shoulder has not healed sufficiently enough to allow him to play round one.

Maybe he's a good poker player, but this straight from the horse's mouth

"I'll be back within the first month but it won't be the first round unfortunately," Jake said.

Do not play poker with Jake ...

 

[Chip and Chase]

Do not play poker with Jake ...

LOL - let's see what happens when the river card gets dealt on Sunday. Let's hope he's holding pocket Aces for our sake

Schuster named in Flegg

Ah okay

 

[Eagles2nv]

Interesting team there.

Almost out top 17.

Tangles and Jetski would prob swap out guacamole and boyle/Keppie. However all 4 bench players are very capable.

Interesting that Froggy got the jump on Cust.

[Bring back the.... Biff?]

Bellamy pulling a few naming NAS 18th man... be really good for us if he doesn't play. The man mountain is a beast. There bench is pretty ordinary ours trumps them

 

[ellakasmar]

Apparently Waddell has a hamstring injury!

So happy with our team list, confident that if AFB and Jake do play, it means they are ready to.

Is it Sunday yet!!!?!!!
