Eagles most probably will be without Shuey with a hamstring injury in the 4th quarter, although he had initial symptoms in the 3rd.
A very handy out.

Do you think Greene will get a go and replace Dickson?

Could replace VDM who is a confirmed out

There are some whispers starting to circulate that Natanui might be rested for Sunday.

Simpson has previously mentioned that Kennedy and Natanui would likely be rested late in the season due to the compressed fixture, not sure if the new talk is just referencing this or stems from new comments. Either way I’d say tell Dunkley- he might be able to start sleeping at night.

If I was Simpson, I'd be pushing the ruck advantage as hard as possible against us. And besides, rucking against Dunkley is as close to a rest as you'll get without actually taking a game off.

If we lose to the Eagles with no Naitanui I will be very sad. I doubt it will happen though, they need to win out to make top 4 and if they don't make top 4, given how much worse they've looked in the hub and that they'll only get one final at home, they can pretty much kiss the season goodbye.

The Eagles have played two very weak ruck divisions the last two weeks, giving Nicnat the chance to rest in games. He played something close to 50% game time against the Bombers, so maybe his rest has already happened.

The thinking is probably that they could play Hickey and still belt us in that area (whilst giving Natanui the rest he needs to get through this period in good nick). They’ve got the Saints after us, they’d likely much rather him play that one.

My fingers are crossed, NicNat is terrifying.

This has me worried that Bevo will now double down on Dunkely in the ruck.

Who am I kidding, he was always going to double down with Dunkley in the ruck.

Maybe Jong will be available

I heard a grab on radio where Mick McGuane asked Adam White if McGovern was going to play.

YUGE if true. They did appear to be managing him with a proppy leg at various stages during the Essington game.

We can't afford to lose any of the last three

If we lose to the Eagles with no Naitanui I will be very sad.

If we lose to WC (and we might) Nic Nat will have nothing to do with it. If we lose it will be because we repeatedly kick the ball to McGovern, Barrass and Shepherd. Richmond kept them to (I think) 3x intercept marks for the game...if we don’t learn from this and do our usual ‘kick it to the fat bloke’ then we will lose. If we have learnt our lesson then we will win no matter what Nic Nat does.

I'm pretty sure any time we lose it's because Bevo and the MC are crazy mate.

Keep up.
