If we keep the same team as tonight, changes from our last game vs them in round 11:
Out: -> In:
Chol -> Astbury
Stack -> Cotchin
Aarts -> Graham
Ross -> Prestia
Caddy -> Edwards
Eggs -> Houli
Soldo -> Nankervis
Pretty handy changes
Yeah we missed so many of our best players last time. No way we lose the I50 count by 30 again, will be much closer around the ground, we just need to ensure we can continue to expose their short backline. McKenzie played on Hawkins last week and people will say he beat Hawkins, but Hawkins had 6 scoring shots. You wouldn't want many games to give a full forward 6 scoring shots. Lynch had 8 kicks at goal tonight, he's normally a very good kick so I'd back him in to kick straighter next week.
If they do go 3 men up (I expect Jonas will play as 3rd man in between Jack - Clurey - and Lynch - McKenzie), we need both talls to do similar as they did tonight and bring that ball to ground for the kiles of Bolton and Edwards to clean up.
I still fancy us to beat them next week. Reckon Port are very good IF they get the game purely on their terms, they struggle when teams break on them with speed. Ie. we scored with great ease against them, we just didn't get it forward enough, we'll have it a lot more forward next week than earlier this year, Saints beat them with speed.
If you can break through their forward press, they are a relatively slow and undersized defence so they can be stretched by height and speed.
