Brisbane City vs Perth Spirit, Rd1 2015

[Forcefield]

Reckon we are going to get pumped in this one. To the tune of 30 points.

I think we'll go alright in the pigs but get dusted in the backs. That's a very formidable backline that City have rolled out.

Interesting comments here, Perth favourites imo.

Perth team named:

1. Chris Heiberg
2. Heath Tessmann(C)
3. Oliver Hoskins
4. Rory Walton
5. Ross Haylett-Petty
6. Chris Alcock
7. Kane Koteka
8. Angus Cottrell
9. Ian Prior
10. Luke Burton
11. Brade Lacey
12. Maalonga Konelio
13. Ammon Matuauto
14. Seculoni Mocenacagi
15. Albert Nikoro

16. Harry Scoble
17. Francois van Wyk
18. Jermaine Ainsley
19. Riley Winter
20. Richard Hardwick
21. Ruan Louwrens
22. Bryon Hutchinson
23. Daley Harper

Looks like a few forwards playing out of their usual spots - RHP, Alcock and Cottrell.

Won't be surprised if Louwrens gets to start a few games during the comp. Shows a lot of promise imo.

Being a Perthshire boy I have a soft spot for the spirit but reckon City will have it wrapped up just after oranges.

Well best I wander in to Ballymore to have a look at this tonight, be interested to see how Brisbane are looking for this season.

 

[Nusadan]

Any thoughts on who would be the ball carrier for either team for rolling mauls after a line out close to the line?

 

[Hugh Jarse]

With James O'Connor listed in the squad, clearly he is not on the first plane off to Toulon as many have claimed. Perhaps a good sign that he will be turning out for the Reds in 2016.

Gill for City

Premier Colts North v South curtain raiser worth getting there early. Unfortunately, I'm in rainy Noosa for the night

Anyone either at the ground or going? If so, what's the crowd looking like for this?

Just heading in now. Plenty of cars in the car park. Eastern Stand is closed so might look like nobody is here on TV but all in the McLean Stand.

Same set up as last season from the sounds of it. Thanks to a democratic vote I cannot watch this tonight.

Actually, TV set up on other side so it should look packed.

Good to see sanity on the TV set up.

Common sense in the jersey selection as well...

Kafe saying Kerevi looks "fit"

He looks like he's lost 10kg. Sure he might be fitter but I reckon he's lost his edge now.

You're basing that on the way he "looks"?

Well what's his edge? His power because he weighed 105kg+ and now he probably doesn't.
