Dogs team updated.

Strange that RFM hasn’t been named? He’s only in the reserves for first grade

I think he'll be 19th man in NRL.

However NSW Cup play the day after so it's possible he might drop back as a late inclusion.

I'd be tempted (if Pay) to put Lichaa at 19th and swap him and RFM. That way Lichaa can play a full 80 in NSW Cup need be.

 

[Mr Invisible]

DO NOT ASK FOR LINKS.
Game on Foxtel / Kayo only.

Is RFM playing?

 

[Mr Invisible]

All sorts of average going on at the moment for both teams. Rabbitohs light on the bench, but we don't look much better.

Britt and Brittain are decent players. Koloamatangi is a giant.

Rabbitohs Team:
1. Leigh Higgins
2. Mawene Hiroti
3. Jacob Gagan
4. Tarquinn Butler
5. Dylan O'Connor
6. Dean Hawkins
7. Connor Tracey
8. Tom Amone
9. Billy Brittain
10. Rhys Kennedy
11. Dean Britt
12. Keaon Koloamatangi
13. Bailey Sironen

14. Jack Johns
15. Brock Gray
16. Trent Peoples
17. Yileen Gordon

Is RFM playing?

#17 was initially named as Dalton Smith, but since then there's a blank. Not sure we can add a player outside the 19 to the team list before kick off, but you'd assume RFM would play given he was rested yesterday.

Heck I'd be tempted to force Lichaa to play and shift Marschke back to Bundy Cup.

Yileen Gordon - da faq?

 

[Spoonman84]

RFM is playing.

[Spoonman84]

Least it looks likely that Meaney doesn’t have any issues otherwise I think Montoya would have been pulled from the game.

 

[Spoonman84]

Is RFM playing?

Yes

 

[Kip Drordy]

Yileen Gordon - da faq?

Unbelievable i agree. I saw him play for Thirlmere in Group 6 in 2014 when his career had finished and he was ordinary but he still sticks his head up evey year somewhere. If there is not someone younger with at least equal ability, I'd be surprised.

 

[Spoonman84]

Dogs are paying $2.15 on ladbrokes I like our chances

RFM with a knee issue...

 

[Mr Invisible]

Fuck... did RFM just do his knee ligament again?

Back up gingerly.

[Spoonman84]

RFM already off he got his knee caught in a bad position.

 

[Mr Invisible]

RFM goneski.. just came off the field after struggling.
