Discussion 2021 Round 10: Teams & In Game Discussion

[7/11]

Luke Ryan back is a godsend considering Highmore is doing his best Abe Simpson impression.


Teams have been kind to me if they remain the way they are. Waterman, Flynn, Poulter, RCD, Rowe and Berry getting games will really push that cash gen a little further which is desperately needed if I’m to catch up any from my ranking of 20,020.

 

[Rumbler]

Nooooo Highmore!! *** Ratten...what's the point of recalling a rookie, making him play one of the most in-form teams in the comp, complimenting him in the post game presser and then proceeding to completely drop him in the next match. Hope you enjoy getting belted by the Dogs. Absolute muppet

Need to wait for confirmation for Sunday teams. Hopefully Murphy is confirmed to play. Got L.Jones too but doubt he plays (fingers crossed though 🤞).

Brayshaw out does not sound good either. Feels like this isn't a week long injury....

 

[Herbie66]

Highmore Emergency
Jones Extended Bench
Mansell managed

might be a 🍩 again

Could go Madden or maybe even Bianco (extended bench)

Woot, seeing a full traffic light display on a Thursday night is a wonderful thing.
Mostly green , some orange , some red .

Murray and Edwards are on the bubble aswell. Madden has some nice DP but Payne isn't far away from being off the injury list.

 

[jel]

If you look at the 22 announced Mansell is out (as listed) and Ross is included (so he is the in)

Just list it that way , then announce the medical sub from the 4 Emergencies an hour before the game.

But Ross was already in, why would they list him?

 

[chels]

Decimated means one warrior in ten was killed in battle. Or one tenth of the population were executed. It is basic Latin. Sure it's meaning has been abused over the years. But a backline decimated?

 

[AngryAnt]

Can't see how Highmore plays again this season with Geary back.

 

[Herbie66]

But Ross was already in, why would they list him?

Unused medical sub counts as in , that's right now I remember.

What a stupid way to announce teams.

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Murphy and to a lesser extent Bergman had better make the final cut or I’m in a bit of strife!

Options options everywhere.

Not sure if Port have their captains run tomorrow or Saturday now so might not have a lunchtime announcement from Ken.

Still don't understand why club's have to finalise their teams before they have their final training run.

 

[meataxe]

Waterman back is a huge relief, has a lot of cash to catch up to Bergman who was a same round bubble boy

 

[Grundogging]

Decimated means one warrior in ten was killed in battle. Or one tenth of the population were executed. It is basic Latin. Sure it's meaning has been abused over the years. But a backline decimated?

The modern usage leans more towards a "significant proportion", rather than the more historical exacting measure of one tenth.

I would imagine that some incomplete backlines (such as mine) have gone from potentially 3-4 rookies getting a game to potentially none of them getting a game, which would fit that modern usage of the term fairly well in this context.

 

[Wheedus]

Think I’ll just cash in High-no-more and be done with it

Don't tell me you liked non-Thurs team drops Herbie?

Well, may be eating a backline 🍩. First one for the season, think I stay the trades course for longer term benefits

 

[Shannon]

With Toby Greene out, I did mention that Cameron may move Kelly back to the forward line ..... :-

Is Leon going to troll SC coaches again

Would be annoying if he got named this week after doin the double down last week. Just need one more week before he comes in

Just tells you how many players are missing 24 hours earlier 😀 now it seems even more stressful

Don't panic , don't panic

Think I am well and truly on my second half dozen of donuts

Have a rethink of things tomorrow.

Where do Green , Hopper , Taranto & Ward all play if they are not playing CBA ? (even now that's 1 too many)

Can't really see any of them.playing a high running W or HF role , oh wait that is maybe best suited for Kelly.

Sometimes can't play someone where they maybe best suited because of limitations on others , so comes down to team balance

I guess we have had 9 weeks of Cameron bashing about Kelly so only 14 more weeks of it to endure

Kelly had more CBAs than Taranto last week actually

I think Kelly plays on a wing in all probability, just messing with a few like @wogitalia
