Official Match Day Thread - Vs GCS

I'm really surprised Stanley wasn't a late change out, talk about underdone, I thought they had only named him for a joke. Hope he goes well though, he just needs 10 games straight.

Yea strange considering how fragile he's been. I guess he now plays back. Roo / Maister / resting ruck as our tall forwards.

Love Blakey. But really, hasn't simpkin well and truly gone past him?

I think it will be a combination of lack of match practice, and overall experience in the backline that will have given Blake the edge.

I would expect Blake to miss more senior games that he plays this year.

With no Fisher they may have wanted another tall option down back if required. Stanley can also play forward (key or flank), wing and ruck and so gives great versatility.

Agreed, it would be terrible if Stanley went down again! hopefully we can get off to a flyer, he can play a solid half and then bring on TDL for some extra run.
The combination of Gwilt, Blake, Drob and Gilbert can take care of the GC tall forwards

Yeah not doubting his versatility, just worried about his match fitness and fragility, playing only half a NAB game. Just hope he gets through.

[saintjake]

Can anyone pl tell me who this Drob is?[/quote]
Dylan Roberton, at school he was always just Drob

[mullet]

oh I thought drob was some new word, like tosser etc

[dragit]

Is that pronounced Dee-Rob or just drob?

[mad saint guy]

That new sponsor logo on the back of the jumper is a shocker. Hope they sort that out soon; a big slab of yellow isn't a good look right under the numbers

[dragit]

I am genuinely worried about this game, I think Gold Coast are about due to start winning matches, hopefully not this one.

[Munga]

Fire up sainters, gotta bury them early and keep at it
