Absolutely pissing down now. Went from a beautiful morning to cold, wind and rain in 2 hours.
When was the last time the little cubs played in these conditions??
27 degrees in Brisbane today
14' degrees in Melbourne tommorow

Time for the Paddle Pops to feel the pinch.

Grimes could silence Cameron with two fit ankles bit not with only one and it's his kicking leg that's dodgy. A fully fit Balta is probably as effective as Grimes on one leg but maybe not put Balta on Cameron. Remember when Jack R. rolled his ankle? Up like a balloon, did not miss a game and not very effective for a few weeks. Gives us a chance to try someone we may need if we lose either Grimes or Astbury for finals.
This is why I suggested Grimes should not play even though some thought he must play. Garth will now come in for Grimes and I expect all the backs can do the job given showery weather.

Choldo falls at the final hurdle.

Is probably because Martin is a shorter ruck and Noah can run with him and off him.

The Bears will come and go the knuckle on us tomorrow to try and unsettle us I reckon.

Cameron and Lyons are the danger men.

We are the masters of our own destiny. We don't need luck or are solely dependent on the misfortune of other teams to succeed. Let's reclaim what should have been ours last year. C'mon tiges let our actions speak for us.

Garthwaite is a stop gap measure if he comes in to replace Grimes.
Would prefer to play Balta in defence and have Chol return as second ruck.
Can't see Garthwaite being anywhere near the 22 for the finals unless injuries play a part.
