The fact that Graham is named as starting at 10 does not fill me with confidence that he will be taking to the field on Sunday.

One of best Canberra sides I've seen in a long time.. I don't see us winning this one... Not with Perret playing fullback

If Lafai plays I'm predicting he scores a double also I want to see Rona given a shot at fullback
Rona is to lazy for fb atm, doubt he has the fitness or ability atm either.

The sides been good on paper all year long... Its on the field thats the worry
Wasnt as good on paper for a month or so with 2 Mozzes, Graham, Lafai, Klemmer out. Kas out for weeks also. So no it hasnt been good on paper all year.

Once we get our best side on the field, which this week is close to (need BMoz but!), and they get to do that for more than a few weeks, we will get cohesion and momentum. Comps tight this year. Small runs of wins shoot you up the ladder fast. Last year we had a good start, poor middle, muddling last 3rd of the main season, then were awesome in the finals till the gf. We have a better back end to the season this year, it will make up for the poor start

problem with stanley, he plays his best footy on the wing as hes shown in previous years. unfortunately for him, perrett gets his spot back when borris returns.

As long as we dont have any knock outs or injuries we may have a chance.

I have a bad feeling about this game , I think we will get lapped, we are just not playing good enough. We are struggling big time. Why does des persist with 4 big forwards on the bench. We need workers that can tackle all day now that Jackson and Graham wont be there. We have a lot of overweight and lazy players.

I share your fears Cabbi.

We tend to struggle defending players that dart around, and run across the face of defensive lines (Segeyaro, RTS, Morgan etc.), so I'm a worried about what Austin will do.

A fit Bmoz and Graham..the rest is trivial tbh. Mbye is close to being with them.

This is a big game, we need the two points. I don't care how we win, just as long as we win. Looking forward to seeing how mbye/reynolds combo works out though.

If jammer plays we are always a chance especially with Moses in the halves however if jammer is ruled out we have buckleys and no chance. It's just that simple.
