[Cook]

Four games in Saturday. Time to stock the fridge

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH

You dare threaten me master jedi?

 

[Total Fool]

I'll be hoping all the teams will be announced

Will Trey Mooney & Makatoa be named as our starting props?

 

[Doggfather]

We will play our C grade team this week.

Hopefully Xerri plays large minutes.

Praying for no injuries from our rep players.

 

[Nexus]

Agree with the pre, game and post threads, but this one I’ll have to discuss with the mod team lmao

Thanks all and feel free to let me know if you have any additional input

We’ll just either delete or merge post game “thoughts” threads that are created outside the post game thread.

I hope not we dont have the right to role out C graders in these trials. The A team contenders need to be all hands on deck from trial 1 working on combinations and cohesion

About Time, been ok watching the Odi and World Cup. Bit of horses a darts , but time to get a fix of the best sport… and with the bears possibly coming back it gets even better !!!

Hoping Xerri and Taafe play a chunk of the game.

 

[Bulldog1966]

JAC, Curran, Critta, Tracey, Kiks are 5 I know aren't playing, any others?

no need to play all the A team players for the first trial game particularly if they aren't exactly fit to play or coming back from injury

Oh 100%%% two players I’m very excited about this year. Especially my man Taaffe!!

At a point last year I thought south’s would’ve been better of with Latrell centre and Taafe FB could be a handy pick up for us looking foward to see what he can do.

Agree, he is a pick up indeed, underrated by many on here. But pure heart and passion, speed as well no doubt. A hidden gem and a better FB than we’ve had for many years.

Love to see joash play some minutes.

 

[bradyk]

With JAC and Curran playing All Stars and assuming Crichton, Tracey and Kikau aren't playing

1st half
1. Taaffe
2. Wilson
3. Xerri
4. Skelton/Samrani
5. Kiraz
6. Burton
7. Hutchison (Sexton after 20 minutes)
8. King
9. Mahoney
10. Knight
11. Salmon
12. Preston
13. Mann

can also interchange the middles early if needed (I'd like to see Hughes and Morrin)

2nd half mass changes giving everyone else a go

@ElMagicElMasri also lock thread creation for an hour after the game if possible. Too many rage threads created immediately after games

that’s what we’re thinking.

Hi all -

We will be looking to create a consistent match day thread weekly for this season, given we had the issue of some multiple game day posts last year.

Would you like to see pre-game and match day threads posted separately or one post for the week?

OP will be updated with team lists when they are released tomorrow.

I think one post per week will work better. From hat I could see the two threads were practically the whole problem.
Keep it simple, we are simple footy fans after all.

 

[Moey]

2 more days, cant wait!!!

Driving down from Gold Coast for this. Mrs goes for Storm too, so should be a fun evening out.

 

[LeeroyJenkins]

that’s what we’re thinking.

Me minutes after round 1 trying to post a rage thread about Burton after suggesting we lock thread creation.

Exactly Crittamagic. GG

but we are working with putting prefixes beside the thread so it’s visible for all to see which thread is for what.
