2. Are we meant to believe 3 weeks flicked a switch?
Yes. It was said by every man and his dog, including Voss, Fraser, Wright and Davies....and the players.
This is not my words, this has come from the club. You don't want to believe, nothing i can do to change your mind.

You have mentioned this a few times. 

But I wouldnt hold any weight to these comments.  I mean what do you expect these guys to say?    They like Voss.  The players liked Voss.   He is a likeable person.   The bloke has just been given the arse.  Why would anyone speak poorly of him?   For what purpose?   He did some good things and lets celebrate them but lets not speak ill of the departed.   It would be a poor look

Ok so lets ride your train of thought and assume everyone complety made it up, ill even borrow LPs tin foil hat for the journey, how do you explain all the statiatical evidence that was floated at the time showing a shift in oir game plan? Did we conspire with the media as well and champion data as well?


Failing all that, just have a look at the brisbane game and how we played.

I even made a comment the week after saying that i saw no difference from the brisbane game to the dogs game apart from the opposition and others agreed.

But if you wanna put it all down to fraser and the circuit breaker, be my guest, i wont be agreeing with you. Ill back the clubs comments, the statistical evidence and my own eyes instead.

There was a bit of talk in other places earlier tonight, before the teams were announced, that Flynn Riley may play.
He's named as a emergency so we still might see a late change....but it may be for Pittonet.
I was surprised Dean was back so soon, you never know.

I'm not. Did I hear he cut his hand opening a can of cat food?

[2] Only 1 ruck again. I am not a fan, not going against 2 real rucks. Against a team with 1 real ruck, fair enough. But H is going up against a full-timer, not a fellow part timer. Similarly, Pitto has not played all that well against Meek in recent times. Meek actually did reasonably against Gawn from about a third of the way through the 3rd.
The only thing I can think of is that our MC think it is going to rain heavily. That is the forecast: 5 - 15 mm of rain.
Still, it is a potential point source error, which our structure has no clear answer to.

I trust we will get competent umpires this week instead of the third stringers we had against the tigers.

Third stringers Prof?  That’s remarkably generous of you!

One of the lowlights of that game was a boundary throw in that barely made it into the field of play and resulted in a free against Pitto for a “block”.  Nankervis wouldn’t have got to the pill if Pitto had stepped aside and waved him through 🙄
