Really like that team, good to see Fainu get a run. Only question is what on earth do we do if we get an injury in the backline and who spells Froggy?

Gordon is picked in the reserves ...

why
Gordy in for Keppie would be very exciting.
We won't know till (if) it happens.
Is Schu really fit yet?
Are we really going in with no utility player on the bench, let alone a dummy half?
Maybe we are waiting on approval from NRL?
Nordburg

Why what?

it won’t be the same, why?
Nordburg

Because I suspect a utility will be added or Croker may be in doubt

If Croker is ruled out,the club can apply for dispensation to use GCKT,as their other dummy half,Lawton,is also out.Hence why GCKT was named in the reserves last week and Rd1

I love this team. Good strong win coming up. Tigers are in disarray and a 21 year old playing fullback on debut. On paper we should expect a 40-6 scoreline. But no need to bust our guts over this one if we have the game in the bag with 20 to go. I will be slightly disappointed if we don't win this one by 16+
Same thing was said about the Broncos flogging the Raiders and the Storm beating Manly easily.
Ah , I think I can give you many examples of where this has backfired for fans of some teams already this year.
Let’s just say , going to be a really tough game , a win by anything more than 1 will be good.

I think we’re finally seeing ducks & drakes from Seibs.
Johns, Weekes & GCKT on the extended bench makes me certain he’ll bring one of them onto the bench by game time.
The fact he’s doing this suggests to me it could be a smokescreen for GCKT coming onto the bench.
Exciting if so!

Yep , never thought he’d go down the Desmond track but it appears that’s what he’s doing.
No way he’ll go with the bench listed.
I hear ya mate but contrary to popular belief what we think/say on a forum has no bearing on the outcome of any game. We are just along for the ride. I do the same thing and it's all about managing expectations so I'm slightly less disappointed if we lose. If we lose this week nothing will soften the blow.
Of course , a fan forum effectively achieves diddly squat , other than fans getting to air their thoughts.
As to the game , I’m preferring to feel nervous for the reasons listed , if we win big , great that’s a bonus.
But I’m certainly not going down the track of only ever talking about a big win and watching a rout unfold on game day.
