News Luke Thompson injury

[Bulldogsteve]

I’m just going to say what I think most people are saying in this thread, without the availability of our key big men, we’re screwed this week in particular - Manly will froth at the mouth at this news.

TPJ and Thompson are huge outs vs Manly.

I actually think we need to start Pele and bring in Patolo if fit. Id say CC goes with Davey though.

likely CC forward and bench:
King
Mahoney
Sutton
Kikau
RFM
Davey

Brown
Preston
Wadell
Pele

id say RFM to lock with preston starting

From what I’ve pieced together his BFF car pooling buddy Dufty was heading over there and he roped him in to going with him …

He didn’t want to re-sign ..

You're telling me 100% money played no part in his decision? Somehow I don't think so.

 

[Glenn L]

Sliding doors, an opportunity for someone else to step up & show CC they are FG material.

Somehow this never seems to happen around this club anymore unfortunately.

Gee, that Klemmer would have been a handy signing at $400k a season for two seasons.

 

[ChesoBulldog]

Nu Brown at lock.

 

[ChesoBulldog]

I’ll stop leaking too much info. I knew Tanner would be off the bench and Nu brown would start.
Bulldogsteve is the guru tho

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Tanner is better than Thompson imho.

 

[Rassayri]

From what Gus said it sounds serious

 

[ChesoBulldog]

I love Tanner. Very happy for him, deserves the debut.

What he say?

 

[ChesoBulldog]

That would be wayyyy to small of a team
No way you can start nu brown at lock

He did

 

[Kung fu man]

can't see Kikau getting a rest unless the games over. He's going to be too influential for us (and he's on big $, we also don't have the luxury of resting him).

Just depends on the score

 

[Kung fu man]

He didn’t want to stay

How many times people have to say this before it sinks in

Depends on the tactics we use. Kick early and get into the defensive grind.

Yep i heard he didnt even want an offer he was set on going

The game has room for mobile forwards, just saying

 

[Foxalldayeveryday]

No big loss. Let's be honest.

We can adapt, Mahoney & Burton kick well. On the other hand the Gun is going to need to have the best game of his career.

Facts, some players actually do want to finish up their career in Europe just for the travel and a new experience.

Supporters not supporting players - my pet hate and I know it is the number 1 thing (or close to it) that Gus won’t cop. Once he knows who you are there is no coming back.

When a few supporters targeted Okunbor last year Gus was absolutely fuming. That attitude would be shared by many.There are not many things more cringe worthy than being at a game and listening to our own supporters boo one of our boys.

Good way to earn instant fuckwit status in my opinion (but that’s just my personal view)
