Hardtackle
Charlie Fox (21)
I went to a Balmain vs Souths game at Leichardt in the 80's and my strongest memory was locals throwing handfuls of a cut up Ribald magazine whenever the tigers scored.
You going to call the scg tahs Fortress…in 2020 Leichhardt Oval hosted Force v Brumbies; Force v Rebels; Rebels v Brumbies; Rebels v Waratahs ( Rebels home game).
So it seems it’s been a home ground to the Force and Rebels but never the Tahs.
What a fortress.
you’re predicting they’ll select two less players?Guessing.

Assuming Nasser and Wright are out with injury.
Really! Tell me who you would call in as bench hooker and back row?you’re predicting they’ll select two less players?

Don’t know how I forgot Uru.We don’t know that the players are out yet. But Uru in the backrow is the obvious one. Matt Faessler at hooker perhaps.
I believe Isaac Henry is still injured for a few more weeksFor the Tahs, I would like to see Ruan Smith at 18, if Swinton is unavailable Sinclair to 6 and either Williams or Douglas onto the bench. If Harrison is fit, I would play him at 15 and move Newsome to the wing, with Turner to make way. Others would probably have him return on the bench, but if this turns out to be a really close game, I want the best goalkicker in Aus rugby on the paddock!
Close to 8 inches of rain in the old money is some parts of Sydney the past 36 hours. Pretty wet here too!Good thing the games not at Suncorp this weekend - the players would need snorkels & flippers, looking at the weather bureau forecast.
Blythe might have something to show about thatTahs hot favourites.
Not sure Reds can stand up to Swinton and his Tah-Tough clan.

What’s the undercover seating at Leichhardt like?
it’s going to be a heavy wet pitch based on the rain this week
