I would have both Ackers and O’Conner
starting to improve speed of play and defensive intensity, and have Smith coming in later to run at tired forwards.

Agree. Have Smith and Lisone as bench props to offer some impact and Bentley to come off the bench to maintain the line speed

It’s nice to have Bentley and to some extent Donno back but neither is going to help our problems with go-forward. We’re still in the crisis of impact at the line.

Eseh Mik and Lisone have to be very direct and I’d like to se some structural changes to get all players into space more effectively and reduce the hospital passes.

Predictions...? I can see a win or loss by 6.

He’s picked the side I probably would have TBF; this means we’re doomed.

Feels like a big game today in the context of this season, come on boys.

A team that plays.like a team, everyone knows what they're doing, hard running, good ball retention, no miracle plays, simple, effective football. That'll do for me today. If we win as well, obviously better.

What a difference being aggressive and playing with intent makes.

Shocking isn't it?

Momentum is a beautiful thing

McDonell is a penalty machine

Good first half defensively, but attack all of the place, we generally look less vulnerable, but we need trys on the board
