Interesting that Banks and Muirhead have been swapped around.........

Any theories?

 

[Mr Wobbly]

Anyone know where all our locks disappeared to?

Cummins, Latu-Meafou and Ha'angana all vanished?

And Toby, where is he?

 

[Brumby Runner]

Making way for Coleman, Arnold and Philip, perhaps?

 

[Mr Wobbly]

^ You missed RH-P.

Learned on FB that Cummins is out for the rest of the season

Guessing that LoJo will become captain for the duration.

Beginning the planning for 2018 without Banks?

Think it's Siliva.

EMF might be rested. For a boy of his size he's only not played 80mins in game 1 I think. While Ha'angana missed last week through injury, and I think he's not yet recovered.

Pure speculation on my part though.

Nah, he's signed on for 2018.........

Probably seeing if Muirhead is good, cover at fullback in, case of injury

IIRC Muirhead was playing No 15 at the end of the JID season with Johnson at wing. Might just be a matter of the numbers on their backs not really meaning anything, as per Cheika?

7-19 at 43 minutes - jack missed a pass and gave away the first try we worked our buts off but. Couldnt get across the line simple steals give them the ball - still in it though - Henry Hutchison stand out best rising player imo

 

[lou75]

7-31 at 59 minutes - no real improvement

 

[lou75]

12-36 at 77 minute

 

[lou75]

And that's the game
