Opinion Who are our forwards next week?

[Dognacious]

Waddell is a perfectly fine middle, people just can't let their hate go.

I think he has improved so yeh hes def good enough

 

[WillieMasonFan]

What’s Tolman up to these days…

He is working on some new 4th tackle options to be ready for when he is called up by the Dogs to come out of retirement and play.

 

[WillieMasonFan]

King will kill, but playing the bunnies will be tough. Especially if Latrell and Johnson perform well.

Johnson is out under 11 day rule I believe?

 

[WillieMasonFan]

Fuck this top 30 Bullshit and make bigger squad sizes, if they are gonna suspend players for nothing and force players to sit out for 11 days

Apparently they are looking at this but changes not to take effect till 2024 season .... it is what it is .....

 

[dogbone]

Souths will run out I'd imagine with the same pack that lost to the storm. In terms of run metres they won the battle but not comprehensively (2,064 v 1,854). If you compare our pack to the Storms, in terms of quality there's not much difference. I'd say ours is better but I am biased. The big stat that stood out to me was kick metres. The Storm blew them away in that stat (855 to 465) and that is where we have our best chance. Particularly with Souths having two inexperienced wingers now that Johnston is out.

 

[Scoooby]

Johnson is out under 11 day rule I believe?

Seems so.

Please,.. No More Tanner.. he is ordinary.. Topine needs an opportunity and why not play Kautoga (with dispensation). He's been killing it reggies

 

[D0GMATIC]

Guna be real sad up front next Friday
Real shame not going into a clash like that with bulk injuries

They are missing a heap of forwards too so that evens it up a bit

I think RFM can play if he passes his tests during the week.

Nope he's out.

I don't think we have much of an option. Based on stats, Davey was pretty ordinary in NSW Cup, Hughes first game back from back surgery, and he had better numbers. Tanners numbers were also pretty good. I was even thinking Edwards before Davey. But we may not get an exemption for Edwards now Davey is back.

Best case situation is a Tpj return

 

[KLil]

Nope he's out.

Shit.

I guess Tanner/Hughes/Davey/Topine then?

 

[MitchNewton]

Don’t be surprised if Harrison Edwards gets a called. He’s been killing it in reserves.

 

[MitchNewton]

This 11 day stand down is shit. I get they are concerned for player welfare but RFM looked okay as he jogged off... wondering how that got a grade 1?

Even without the 11 day standout rule RFM would be in doubt as it takes 6 days to pass concussion protocols.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Shit.

I guess Tanner/Hughes/Davey/Topine then?

I don't know, didn't see reserves this week but both Hughes and Davey look to have been eased in with a limited bench role. Tanner? Looks great in reserves and stats back it up but hasn't really transitioned to firstgrade although he only really got junk minutes. Maybe Topine finally gets a run or potentially Edwards? As i said before i didn't rate him but he has looked good this year. Why did we promote fucking Hoffman to the top 30 lololol.

Just looking at our unavailable forwards and it's practically an entire forward pack and bench out, this is crazy...

8. Thompson
9. Brown
10. TPJ
11. Kikau
12. Okunbor
13. RFM

14. Pele
15. Patolo

Its Ludacris what we are going through and to think winning let alone competing is testament to what we are building...

Its beyond next man up, its become next team up!

Yeah i forgot about Edwards, add him to that list and what is going on with Hoffman!! Im with you on that one... Hopefully whoever comes in the boys can pull of an Easter miracle for us... Grouse!

Rabbit haven't looked great this year but fucking Mitchell always turns it on against us. They've also got a few injuries but they're left no where near as thin as us. If Ciraldo gets us over the line then give him another 5 years, would be a massive win.
