Team List Vs Vermin Finals Week 1

[Tommy Smith]

Referees: Gerard Sutton and Adam Gee (review official Jared Maxwell)

I'll take that.

No Klein, Cummins or Atkins.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Notice Liam knight named after his near death experience with Jwh. Passed his concussion protocols

Jwh should mention that tonight in his defence

Haha....they would have been better off citing Lindsay for having a head like a cement slab.

[Headless Chook]

Why is it our players get concussed and miss a week without fail yet every other team clears their players and they miss no game time?

[ism22]

Not that it means anything, but they're about the same or weaker than last week (Roberts in for Gagai; 2 x Burgess in for Sam Burgess) and we're stronger (especially if JWH gets off).

Yeah it surprised me a little that Gagai's out.

I call Souffs' team slightly stronger (no injured Gagai and 2 Burgess brothers). However, I think that even if JWH is suspended, we're still significantly stronger than last week.

IMO Robbo intentionally pulled last week on the squad to give us a wake-up call. He seems big on this message that if you're eligible for NRL selection, you've gotta be prepared to play 80 minutes of 1st grade footy at short notice without whinging that others are out. I reckon this philosophy will serve us well during the finals.

Stopping Cameron Murrays quick play the balls stops Damien Cook....and if Cook isn't making ground in the centre it doesn't leave Walker and Reynolds much room to link with the outside backs.. Im not too fussed about Walker but Reynolds kicking game is top shelf-he is the most underrated half in the comp

Question is how do you stop Cameron Murrays quick play the balls?he gets tackled and within a second he is on his knees on the way up- you got no time to turn him on his back to slow him down.

I guess our forwards will have to apply the blowtorch-especially in the second half

[Bahrain Rooster]

We might have to use some of Melbourne’s wrestling tactics to stop Murray.

Get under the ball and drive up and back ala JTurbo

[Johnny Brass]

Cam Murray has got fantastic footwork which gets him between defenders and allows him to find his front and get quick play the balls, he is very difficult to get a shot on.
Looks a very strong line-up we will be putting out this week .

[RoosterFanNZ]

why dont we just head slam him against the ground? seems to work for them

And When he gets tackled, at the very least have a marker...This is why they scored after his run because it was Cronk & Sitili who tackled him and they were left behind on the ground while our players are rushing to get back on the line but are clueless and that is when Cook can get dangerous, when theres no one to stop him as he winds up. Markers when Murray is tackled at all times.

He DID & the legend is playing

[Jacks Fur Coat]

If these teams hit the park as named, it's an Easts and Bears redemption story after last weekend's aberration.

Get on!

Are they REALLY though?

IMO one thing Souffs are good at is getting defenders to over-commit and then shooting a small, quick player through the right hole. Not trying to disrespect either player but basically all they do is be that guy. IMO you could drop Verrills or Watson into the same team with the same role and you'd get identical result. It requires a bit of skill and speed but is mostly circumstantial.

if he played for the roosters i suspect your attitude may be different. the kid is dead set perfect for what he does, he has the build, strength , speed to do it for 80 mins. watson and i suspect verrills whilst good, probably lack the size , strength and motor to do what murray does for souths. just because he plays for souths does not mean the kid cant play. if he signed for the roosters i dont think many here would be complaining.
