From the Hun

"Cash strapped, souless, homeless, shin splittered Kangaroos Suffered a major blow when gob pooe forward Lindsay Thomas was handed a two-match ban for headbutting Giants youngster Jacob Townsend"

I may have doctored that article a little, try and guess where



Edit: Slight title change so this can double as the 'official' game thread.

His name is Jake Townsend and he's not that young??? And the e on poo, HUN wouldn't make that error

[dwaino]

I hate that prick. I was looking forward to Morro tea bagging him.

[Andyy]

Can't hurt, but part of me would rather plan North at their best to better assess our own team's progress.

Only five wins to their names, but these guys remain a very competitive team. Almost remind me of Richmond from last year - good % but always falling short.

Yer but now we can laugh at Morro paying $4 per pinch on Harvey. $3 if he pleads guilty. Maybe he can donate it to the Send Norf to Tassie Fund. (SNTF)

[gerkin greg]

Tassie is a nice place but if we don't take care of it it will be ruined forever

They saved the Franklin, and found a cure for the devil's face cancer — introducing Norf will just undo all this good work

Should send Norf to Christmas Island with the crabs

That post was so much funnier before the homophobic and racist elements were edited out

Ahhh Tassie

Gerks Naru would be a better bet as the queue jumpers sorry, I mean Asylum seekers only entertainment there is watching Seagulls crap on the camp commandant's car. Watching Nort play would at least be a slight improvement on that. We don't want to encourage them too much after all.

Surely the local population doesn't deserve a crab outbreak

Lindsay Thomas has accepted his two week penalty so he's definitely out.

SUMMARY
This might be a clash of 12th versus sixth but it shapes as one of matches of the round. North can all but kiss its finals chances goodbye if it drops this game, while the Tigers have a great opportunity to continue their push for a top-four spot. Richmond will deservedly start favourite, but North's good recent record against the Tigers will give it confidence it can cause an upset.
