Aarts unlucky... .

[Tiger Khosh]

Well none of those 4 fellas are lining up in round 1.

[Diocletian]

Well considering the finalised squad will consist of 26 players, at least 4 blokes lining up on Sunday won't be lining up in round 1...

Aarts unlucky... .

And RCD really lucky.

Strong side. Only Nank (and of course Ellis now gone) missing from the our premiership 22.

Seems like Nank won't be available for round 1. Chol and Balta were poor last week so it's now up to CCJ and even Biggie to see who will partner Soldo in the season opener. If no one performs will we go with just Soldo as the lone ruck against the Blues?

If CCJ can have a good game as second ruck then from that bench it's down to Bolts, Stack and Dow for the final two spots on the round 1 bench. You'd expect Lambert to be there while I don't see Biggie, Ross or Higgins making it yet.

Markov, Aarts and Chol are going to have their work cut out for them this year to survive beyond 2020 at Tigerland. Not a good sign if you're being dropped already and younger players are ahead of you.

There’s no talk of revenge in the Giants camp but victory on Sunday would certainly ease the pain just a little for the orange and charcoal faithful.

[Rampsation]

Means nothing today. They blew there chance last september.

[mightytiges]

Winning the Brisbane Commonwealth Games match against Carlton two weeks after the 1982 GF loss sure didn't ease the pain  .


As us for today, the main thing is no injuries  .

[mightytiges]

First goal to GWS.

Finlayson has already had a kick more than the duck eggs he had in the GF  .

0 - 6
