Charlie Curnow out with 'illness' 3 days before the game.......that doesn't sound good.

It might be code for celebration of a win interstate.

Personally I'm glad this mob like to go after our young players and it's time we repaid the favour by ensuring parish and Francis have a navy blue headache each time they play us

Is there something in the contract with our Irish players that they can only ever be tried at half back?

Touhy seems a natural wingman but I can't recall ever seeing him play anywhere other than back flank / pocket.

For mine, this one will be won or lost in the coaches box. Cagey shifty old fox Woosha vs Young driven like no other Bolts.

Not sure Woosh is all that clever GTC. He's more Malthouse than you might think.

Bolts is cutting edge .

I hope that's what it is. Didn't deserve to be dropped, that's for sure.

If this was the case I would be rapt however on the provisos that the kid has earned a spot and is ready. I am confident the coaches will make the right decision, the days of our club playing guys for marketing purposes (to the detriment of the players development and long term future) are over I reckon.

hmm don't think so. I got a call from SOSOS the day after he was drafted to sign up as a member  :o

He's probably one of our best kicks for goal too.... get him in the forward line  ffs

Thats totally completely different to what I wrote. I said actually playing kids like SOS who aren't ready (form and maturity) just to get a crowd and extra membership or two.

Yep agree, we should definitely give him a run forward, he does run and mark reasonably well and can really hurt with his foot skills. Playing off a wing and driving inside 50 could be the next move for him and then you've got a player with defensive pressure (experience) who can move up and down the ground.

Happy to see Puss get another chance... but of bite around the packs with two good inclusions. Hopefully tackling count improves
