It’ll also be the few times he’ll play finals footy considering he’s off to the tigers
Few? Surely the big guy is smart enough to know this may be his only time for making a GF. I see skelly as a bit of a rocks or diamonds kind of a player. Maybe it comes down to effort, when he puts in he has a good game but when he is down on effort he sucks. I agree that Skelton needs to be outside Critta, so Critta can keep in his ear about his efforts in defense and attack.

If he listens to Critta, he could end up with a bag of tries.

Teams were starting to kick away from kiraz, with skelton in, at the very least they'll have to kick to both kiraz and skelton now

Heard on the radio this morning, that there will be a late change on Sunday.
Taafe at fullback
Tracey on wing
Skelton out
So basically Ciraldo has his start of year lineup salmon starting at 13 and Taafe at 1 with Tracey on the wing

Please no I can see him dropping 1 or 2 high pressured kicks

Yuck
It would only happen if CC and Critta don't trust Skelton in defence, but Taafe can't be trusted catching a bomb and directing the team at the back.

Too risky to replace a spine member who hasn't been in the system for a while - Hutchinson last week is a prime example.

Mate, Riccio said thats one of the options but it was very unlikely. Only an outside possibility because Skelton has a leg injury.

Went on to say the most likely replacement if Skelton is out would be Sua

If we pull it off this week. I think it can power us to go on a big run. I think this will be our hardest game from a mental perspective

Anyone else feeling deflated after news of Addo Carr.. I fear the worst on Sunday..
What we feel and what the players feel will be completely different. The players dealt with it and are moving on keeping focus on their job and not reading into the matter like we are exposed to. We choose to listen, read and comment about it making it deflating for us unlike the players who are talking about the game, tactics and bonding together not having anything to do with the outside noise.

Ray Hadley can get fucked, he's a piece of shit and should concentrate on his son's indiscretions
He’d wanna be sure his information is correct because that’s the first person that claims Josh had first AND second tests return positive results. This is defamation otherwise.

I also heard him say that and immediately thought wow you would want to have your facts right because it's made JAC look worse than it actually is and the stories now coming out the police didn't follow protocols. Watch this space.
