That's 7 premiership players in since last time we played Port .


We match-up well on them by the look of it. We have a few options if something isn't working as well as to find mismatches to gain an advantage.

The Tigers have held Chol out of the side while backing him to find the consistency that will force their hand in the future.

“He can do some things that other players can’t,” Hardwick said.

“We’ve just got to get that consistency level between his very good to his lesser games to a higher standard.”

Rising defender Noah Balta was utilised to give Nankervis a chop-out in the win over St Kilda last week.

Not for me Caddy injuries big worry and our forward line looks dangerous with Bolton there.Pickett makes a few blews,  but his a hard runner and defends well to.

Glad they didnt bring Chol in. He is to inconsistent this season. Maybe next year he will take the extra step.

Yep cant risk a zero impact game at this stage of the season

[Diocletian]

Will win the Norm Smith after Lynch gets suspended for the GF....
