Your team v bunnies

[Billy]

JSaf is out.
Mooney had a slight strain, so some chance.

Hopwood and Crouch both played 42 minutes, which is probably their limit.

Might be time to move Croker to prop with Frizzell and use maybe Cant at lock.

Brodie Jones played 73 minutes as starting prop in reserve grade last week.
ESL has played a mix of second row, lock and prop and always has a go.

8 Croker
9 Crossland
10 Frizzel
11 Lucas
12 McEwen
13 Cant

14 Graham
15 Jones
16 Hopwood
17 Crouch
18 ESL

I just read on Foxsports that Mooney is out for 6 weeks.....hope it's BS

 

[Junior]

I wouldn’t be moving Crokes after having his best season to date, predicting everyone backs up from origin and Moon and Saf are out. See below:

Ponga
Marz
Best
Gags
Young
Sharpe
Brown
Friz
Crossy
Crouch
Lucas
McEwen
Crokes

Graham
Hopwood
Cant
Hola
Hunt

Hollbrook in the presser said Mooney should be right next week. Jsaf more serious, waiting on scans.

Mooney likely to play makes a big difference.

I'd still have Jones in the mix. He looks very close to fully fit, and a fully fit Jones is a very strong middle for big minutes.

Yeah and experience

 

[danknights]

I really just want to let ESL loose.

I’d give mooney another week to get right. Better not to lose him long term.

Given where we’re at, I think the longer term view is more important with Best and Kaylyn. If they’re 100% rested and niggle free, let them play. Otherwise it’s same as today for me with a shuffle in the forwards noting JSaf and question over Mooney.

Holbrook said he was very close to playing today, so should be right next week.

 

[KriKri]

Under no circumstances should Kalyn or bradman play. In particular Bradman.
We’re lucky to have reliable deputies in Hunt and Smith. I’m more than happy to reduce our chances of winning for a week if it minimises the chance of best and ponga getting a soft tissue injury this close to finals.
