According to the police OIC, all of those responsible for the fire bombings have been apprehended and charged.  Apparently they get paid $20K for each job.

It seems that the organised crime gang behind the fire bombings is likely to be an offshore operation so particularly difficult for the police to crack.

Yes the government could introduce laws to make it harder for these crime gangs to operate but they’d never be passed by the upper house and would be a severe restriction on our civil liberties.

The government has already tightened bail laws but, again, they can only go so far before their laws are deemed to be unconstitutional.
I want to understand the reasoning behind arresting those responsible for pouring petrol on a building and lighting it and then releasing them with a slap on the wrist. Ill bet both my balls they got out and set fire to another building and collect another 20K each. Sounds like easy work, might consider it myself. Perhaps we should go around to schools and promote this lucrative and entrepreneurial business.

Our line-up:

B:   14 Oliver Florent   47 Wade Derksen   2 Lachlan Cowan
HB:   24 Nic Newman   35 Harry Dean   15 Billy Wilson
C:   5 Adam Cerra   18 Sam Walsh   32 Matthew Carroll
HF:   19 Will Hayward   17 Brodie Kemp   30 Jack Ison
F:   39 Talor Byrne   10 Harry McKay   12 Ben Ainsworth
R:   27 Marc Pittonet   7 Jagga Smith   9 Patrick Cripps
Int:   26 Nick Haynes   29 George Hewett   45 Flynn Young   11 Mitch McGovern   44 Francis Evans
Em:  25 Liam Reidy   33 Lewis Young   13 Blake Acres

[1] I would have thought Young would come in for Weitering. Hope Derksen can do the job. If we win in the midfield he might. If they stream out of the middle, Georgiades will get a lot of ball.

[2] Acres: is he as out of favour as Boyd has become? He is in form. Not sure Cerra is a wingman ...

[3] One ruck each. Point source error or masterstroke? We don't have much backup.

Harry found form when he spent more time on the ruck...hes our 2nd ruck....cripps like to get freed up in that way too.

The chances of winning with seven of our 23 having played less than a dozen games aren’t good, particularly when one of our outs is Weiters.

I’m sure our MC has put a hell of a lot more thought into matchups and Port’s strengths and weaknesses but I would have gone with the Sheriff ahead of Byrner.

I have more faith in Lewis Young than many supporters but I think that Derksen is a better option for this game.
