Why fly him up then?

Clearly we’re the richest team in the land

Not only are we phukkkkkkkkking with the Bears, 'Landers are also off their rocker.

Why not? Give him every chance to play. He is obviously very close 

He is the best defender in the Competition 

 

Adam Tomlinson will replace Steven May in tonight’s match. Jake Melksham will be our substitute.

"Why fly him up then?"

May will be in the coaches box again.

Not concerned about this. Tommo was good last week and probably unlucky to be dropped.

Happy for May to take all the time he needs to be 100%

Mayday?

Grundy is the main man tonight. Lot of teams have to get used to him in the forward line.

Thanks very much for you help mate. Only tickets we could get are top their but above you guys at least, gate 8.

 

By red time in the last they'll all have left so I can bring kids down the bottom 😂

Given you’re at the game, I’ve got the pork belly on for you.

You really think that the Lions coaching dept will be in a mad panic when they see Tomlinson run out instead of May?

Every coach will tell you that late changes have zero impact on the opposition's game plan.

Every coach would plan for and around May. Him not playing will change their plans.

They were never going to risk him. I thought it was laughable that they’ll let our third most important player, aged 30, only have a week off with a calf strain. 
If we win tonight I also don’t think they’ll risk him next week. It’s a very very long season.

Don’t agree. 

He will play when he is ready, whether we win this week or not, whether we’re flying or struggling. 

For one, next week he can hold Buddy goalless for a third straight match. 

I wonder if they looked back on that final to see what Brisbane did and what we did wrong.

Also wonder if they had a look to see what port did right to thrash them last week 

Don't worry folks. Tommo is an able replacement. Our system will hold firm.

Goody spoke of that during the week.

I mean of course they won’t risk him if he isn’t right. But I think if we win and he is right to go they might still choose to give him one more week just to be extra extra cautious. 

Such a nice feeling knowing we’ve got Tommo as a replacement.

The club’s depth is going to pay dividends come finals.

Let's get em

When May is ready to go, he will play.

Next week Lance is going to play..

I’m nervous. Not going to lie. 
Brisbane are a hell of a lot better than they showed last week. They are also a much much better team than the Dogs. 

Got that sick feeling

If we are as good as we think we are, we win this in a canter.
