Flanagan playing ok at dummy half, providing ok service. Running the ball little bit

way too slow tho

 

[EuroNymous]

By the way it’s 0-0

 

[Scoooby]

Be good to see if JR can add a little spark. If we win you know he’s going to get huge wraps. And I will be one of the ones doing so.. the favourite son replaces flanno and doggs are victorious ONCE AGAIN. Sounds good. But can it be done lol.

 

[KLil]

Time to go get a box. I can feel a strong performance and a close win. I want to be drunk enough to enjoy it properly CHEEEEE HUUUUUUUUU!

Lol or numb enough to drown those sorrows..

I'll have my Valiums handy.. Haha!

Thanks mate, can you keep us updated on the score & how Skelton & Paps are playing ?

Very good sign for us that Skelton is playing in the back row. I see him finding his way onto our bench very soon if he performs today. So even with Kiraz and ado Carr back the window is still open for him.

Wow Flanagan got a try assist

[cyborg66]

Reynolds needs a big game he has done nothing!!

If that’s the goal may I suggest you watch the game with these two companions then ..

Would of rathered he got a start over Casey or Burns because as a winger the guy just punches out big metres and has monsters the opposition at times. Huge benefit starting off sets aswell.

Agree, those guys have got some skills, they’re unfortunately just not powerful enough ..

Skelton in backrow with Topine at centre is interesting

 

[Kempsey Dog]

I don't rate Topine TBH.

To me is he is another JR, great hype man but not that talented.

I love players like him personally. Always prefered to have a Dene Halatau type player on the bench who can cover backrow, hooker and centre. Ideally I'd want him to be out #14 at full strength

Maybe he doesn't have quite the same ability to finish off those tight tries against the corner post or something because everything else in his game screams beast mode

 

[Shire Dog]

Skelton in the back row...

Some were laughing when I said he can cover wing, centre and backrow if needed.

I'm guessing the noose is around Knockonmores neck

I recall you mentioned his versatility in the early days.
Looking forward still for when he runs out amongst the big boys.

 

[KiwiDog7]

Is Skelton on the bench ?

Maybe .. but hype men way be what we need right now to get the crowd up and the confidence. Never know these days we just need a win however we can. Could kick start it all lol.
