PRE-GAME Round 13 - Rabbitohs vs Broncos

Put staggs at 6
He beat the bunnies last time there

If Pies has any sense at all he would put Paix in there. He's had a week off to rest up and is streets ahead of Croft in terms of speed off the mark, passing and defence.

I’m with you, I mean they see him as a long term dummy half but after watching turps he’s our long term guy. Also our club hasn’t exactly nailed knowing what positions our players should be playing.

 

[mrslong]

We all know his man Croft will be there.

I would love to see us win and Seibold do a victory dance on the sidelines.

Unfortunately, it's going to be the other way around and it's going to be Bennett doing a victory dance in the sheds.

I've already said we are going to win, dont worry about it. Thats money in the bank right there. I cant remember the last time i made a prediction and it went pear shaped.

I'm becoming more and more confident of a win as the days go by.

You’ve been jinxing us for 6 weeks now.

Gordy is that you?

 

[winslow_wong]

right...the old "youve been dropped son, but, can you walk out on the field and like, grab the back of your leg like this please..?' trick....

Didn’t nikorima have the same injury for us once and then miraculously recovered the next week to play for the warriors?

 

[Galah]

We all know his man Croft will be there.

 

[Aldo]

Croft has been named to replace him.

Milford:

“I’m not dropped this week, I’m actually injured. I hurt my hammy pretty bad yesterday, I had scans on it this morning and it doesn’t look too good. I tried to take off in one of the drills and I felt this cramping sensation, straight away it didn’t feel good. I hurt my hammy before the Melbourne game and I wasn’t sure if it was related to that. It’s disappointing. I think I’m looking out a month on the sidelines, it’s pretty bad ... hopefully I’m not out for the season.”

Performance chief Paul Devlin said an MRI scan yesterday revealed a grade-two hamstring tear:

“It’s unfortunate but as a result we expect Anthony to be out of action for at least the next month. He will start rehabilitation in coming days and will build his strength back up before commencing his return to run program.”

McHunt

I love the " I'm actually injured" quote.

Not sure if it is related or not to the injury but he looks like he is starting to bulk out again. I thought he looked pretty trim following the pre season, but over the last month or so, he looks to be bigger (and not in a good way).

Never wish injury on a player, but this really is a blessing in disguise. We can now prepare for life after Milford, hopefully Croft and Deardon kill it and we don't look back.
It was pretty obvious Seibold was never going to drop Milford , despite him carrying an injury for the past couple of games.

 

[Galah]

Is Paul devlin the guy responsible for our fitness or Injury prevention?

Yep, I'm looking forward to see whether we lift.

Thank **** turpin wasn’t moved into the halves.

No, it's worse.

It's Croft instead. This is why Milford being out is going to be a problem. He at least has a combination with Boyd and can produce something. Croft on the other hand...

 

[WASSHHH]

So few comments since TLT landed.

Speaks volumes about the downfall of this club and how people have lost interest.

Enough to give you the sads.

He's too lethal out wide. Worth at least 2 tries a game provided he gets the ball.

Dammit.

Like others I'd much rather Paix tried at 6 while Brodie works his way back in (or dies trying), as for the "we're turning him into a 9" argument, Seibold did pick our current long term 9 at both 6 and 7 in the back end of last year so that's somewhat of a precedent. And it's not like we'd be delaying Paix's development at 9 since he's gonna be stuck behind Turpin for the time being anyway. Ah well - hope Croft fires up and has a big game.
