Choke
Bulldog

I really don’t think the success of the final series rest on whether JOC (James O'Connor) plays or not - let’s be honest the only rugby fans who support QPR and want to see him are Filth inclined.
If Easts can bring the game that they played against Wests when they last played on David Wilson Field they will be hard to beat.
I’ll be cheering for the Tigers on Sunday.

I’m a neutral - I’d like to head out watch him. So would many I know. It’s a shame he won’t be playing

Mate the Gold Coast rebels have a red hot lineup.
Wests would be going into tomorrow as underdogs with the bookies I suspect.

I think Flook being out is more concerning for Brothers.
Regardless, Della Court is a big step down from either Flook or JOC (James O'Connor) so I think they’re a bit exposed in the midfield now.
Although my little birdies tell he and Paddy James will swapping positions so maybe Brothers know they need to shore up that midfield channel.

I am tipping Bond and Easts.
Bond because running 5th last year will drive them for another 2 games and Easts because of playing in front of a big tigers crowd.

This old man is tipping Bond to be crowned in a few weeks. They’ll get up today and take Brothers in finals. Only caveat is, based on rest of season, if Wests ( or any of the others) can be at least 3 tries up in last 15. It has been written.

Della Court put on a great performance in the GPS game prior to getting the head knock.

Yeh not saying he isn’t 1st grade standard. But you’d prefer Flook or JOC (James O'Connor) in the team

If Eloff and Sorovi do not start Bond will take it home, Gibbo will clean Tim up at set piece. Tim is not a high level tight head - Brothers scrum was the difference in the West/East wins giving their back line clean forward ball. If they can continue this and keep Brad & co off the ball they should get it over the line. JPs injury last week didnt look great and surprised hes still playing, this could be an issue for East scrummaging.
With East 2nd Grade playing on the same day depth could be an issue - I did notice the fill in for Brothers is named in both 1st/2nd grade team list.

Yes, you feel Wests have too much big game experience and representative power for Bond today.
If Easts turn up tomorrow and mark Creighton a bit closer, they will win. Brothers intimidate but they are not that impressive without O'Connor.

Picking thru the eye of a one eyed bulldog supporter… in reality the game will be much closer but I expect the champs to advance.
Brothers beating Easts on their home turf after siren.. that would be amazing tv… but in reality Easts could win by double digits hosting on their home track.

Ditto. Pilz and Kennedy the difference for Easts - Campbell and the back three the difference for Bond....and by back three, I mean 6,7 and 8. Easts have pedigree and will power, Bond have the drive and determination evolved from a well-played comp...to date.

Is it going to be a less deep Aussie As squad though? I thought they were integrating the players not getting any game time with main squad and then filling out the other positions to make a match day XXIII

Yeah, the Olympics work can't come soon enough for that precinct, I don't think it's ever fully recovered from the floods.
