I'll safely assume J.T. means this.
From Wikipedia.
In the 1994 Preliminary Final victory over North Sydney, John Lomax was sent off, and subsequently suspended. Tim Sheens (Canberra's Coach) felt that the reserve forwards he had been using in the finals (Brett Hetherington and David Westley) would lose their impact if they started, so he literally called Osborne back from the airport for the opportunity to play one last game - in the Grand Final. Osborne laid on two offloads which led directly to tries in the earlier stages of the match, playing an important role as Canberra won, claiming the 1994 Winfield Cup, and giving him a dream ending to his career.
Either that or the fact that he was sacked by Brian Smith from St George.

I think having 2 hookers is the key to running the dragons ragged so they can run with nothing left in the tank. Jaubs is very important, hope he plays. They will target friend as well.
If graham is fit, straight swap with leulia (would drop leilua off bench)
So reserves are JWH, Conn, jaubs and kennedy. If a back gets injured then Maubs to centre. If jaubs doesn't play and friend gets injured early we are farged.
The leulia / linnett defense combo scares me much like Jason Ryles offloads.
