We must control Harbrow
... he's averaged close to 40 rebounding possessions against us last 2 encounters. .. I think 38 and 36 running bouncing possessions to be exact.
We can't afford to let him do that again.
I hope RL has an effective plan for Harbrow this time around... or is he just relying on being 3rd time lucky ?

Griffen should be Jonesed I reckon.Animal Enclosure wrote:Time for Harbrow to be JONESED!
Harbrow is a key no doubt. Shut him down & their run off half back (with Murphy up forward) will struggle.
Perhaps Eddy (if he plays) or Mini could play a forward defensive role on Harbrow

not as stupid as it sounds, he isnt a bad shot for goal id like to see eddy out and baker played forward. Definately an option..... He simply must be played this week he will be needed next week should we make it..samoht wrote:We know Baker is quick .. it would be strange to see him forward, but could that be a match up ?

Re: We must control Harbrow
yeah. when they have harbrow and the coon dog running rampant they really bother us. luckily coon dog is out so we can give harbrow more attention.samoht wrote:... he's averaged close to 40 rebounding possessions against us last 2 encounters. ..

Bakes will play, but not on Harbrow. That job goes to Eddy.plugger66 wrote:Bakes was quick but any more. Chances of him playing are 1000 to 1 IMO.samoht wrote:We know Baker is quick .. it would be strange to see him forward, but could that be a match up ?
Old enough to repaint, but young enough to sell
As always, midfield battle is huge. Lenny is a class above Boyd and Cross, and if he plays like he usually does, will obviously go a long way towards us winning. I want to see Dal rip a final to shreds as well.jonesy wrote:Stop Harbow and Griffen and the jobs done.
Or conversley,stop Boyd and Cross getting it out to Harbrow and Griffen, and the jobs done.

I thought Eddy would be the one because Dempster is the chosen one, I can't think of anyone else that would miss out tho
Fortius Quo Fidelius
Sorry that was supposed to be on Harbrow. Wouldnt have a clue if he will actually play but is 1000 to 1 to play on Harbrow if Harbrow plays back. BS seems to know he is playing. must be all that inside knowledge he gets.saint patrick wrote:Want a dollar on that at those odds Pluggerplugger66 wrote:Bakes was quick but any more.

Can you explain this stat? Are you sayng he has had 38 and 36 bounces in our last two games or 38 and 36 posesions when he has bounced it or just 38 and 36 possesions?

Sydney recently kept Harbrow to 11 possessions - Roos had a plan to stop him - RL needs to do the same.
Maybe he should ring up his friend and get some tips ?
What concerns me is that Harbrow had 2 consecutive "blinders" against us - Why ? - as he probably "only" averages 20 possessions/game.
If we restrict him to 11 possessions (instead of 36 or 38) .. it'll be like finding another 25 plus possessions... we need to do it.

I'd suggest - as some still think re Swan - that Lyon said 'well Harbrow may get 30, but something will only come of 5-10, therefore we'll focus our defensive attention elsewhere ie blokes who penetrate with accuracy forward of centre...samoht wrote:Sydney recently kept Harbrow to 11 possessions - Roos had a plan to stop him - RL needs to do the same.

But without Cooney, there's one less danger to quell, so Harbrow this time would get the clamps well and truly put on him. He won't like it either.

191 games, 34 goals. i can't remember the last time he kicked one - the stats say he hasn't kicked a goal since round 20, 2007. (though that's only 39 games because he missed 2008.)BonoRocks wrote:not as stupid as it sounds, he isnt a bad shot for goal id like to see eddy out and baker played forward.samoht wrote:We know Baker is quick .. it would be strange to see him forward, but could that be a match up ?
eddy should play and he, peake and mcqualter should rotate on harbrow, murphy and gilbee. if eddy, mcqualter or dempster are poor this week - and we get through - then bakes might have a shot for next week. but if he plays this week, he won't come up for next week - if we get through.

That's pretty staggering and also unacceptable.samoht wrote:... he's averaged close to 40 rebounding possessions against us last 2 encounters
Saints players have to be switched onto this and shut him down,

I reckon RL needs to play a close checking HF flanker on Harbrow (it could be Montagna or Eddy) and show him some due respect this time .. and make sure there's some close checking on Gilbee too for that matter.OneEyedSainter77 wrote:Stop him, yes. But not with Jones. If we are to win this game, Jones MUST go to Griffen. Easily their most damaging player and Jones can at least somewhat negate him. Maybe just let someone like Joey or Eddy go head to head with Harbrow.
Just restrict the rebound ! .. and prevent a leaking boat, as it undermines every other positive thing that we do.
