TIGERS will, know mummy coming out stating i,m playing on next year is a ploy, hes retiring so cant be given a huge fine,,tiges will come up with something to protect the tiger ball carrier,maybe tiger ruck can put out both arms ans protect the space between mummy and the ball as hes basically going to play dirty,thing is with the dry mcg its harder for him to keep going,his legs must be like jelly,hoping tiger rucks start occasionally punching the ball forward.

Nanks is playing. Hardwick has basically implied so. Balta is not in contention and neither is Chol. Were going in with Soldo and Nanks. Minimal change, that's the way to go into a grand final. No change last game, only one (hopefully no-one else injured) this week. Right decision. We're settled, we're primed.
Ellis - has at least played half back before. Could cover for Broad or Floss.
If Astbury or Grimesy go down we are in a bit of bother
On the back of his last game, Toby is a risk. Physically he's still hampered by that groin. It looks like Toby but it's not. I honstly think we need more speed vs GWS.
As others have mentioned, I reckon that Nank is probably the biggest question being discussed by the MC.
His current form and the need for speed against GWS are probably the biggest concerns.
In the end, I believe it will be status quo with Soldo assuming the majority of rucking responsibilities.
It is my hope that Nank is able to dig deep into his bag of tricks and find a way to be a real contributor to the team.
Might even be handy down forward at times.

For me still a better option then Chol or Balta.Against Mumford he has no issue there and we need him just in case Soldo gets bullied by Mumford. He needs to lift his marking pressure etc even dropping in the whole in the backline.
Out of all of the rucks in the comp, Soldo is one of the least likely to be bullied by the old fella. He is a big strapping young fella who knows he is just that.
Mumford is the Giants achilles heel, the tigers will exploit it Saturday.
Sorry PRE crew. Wrong thread, should wake up before reading.

Exactly. And would you be happy and confident with Ellis doing that? As much as I love Nank, this is my only concern. GWS are playing extra runners, Tomlinson and Finlayson, who relieve Mummy in the ruck but play mostly and competently forward, on the wing, or can well go down back.
See playing Nank as a possible weakness they can exploit. Not sure he's speedy enough to play anywhere off the ball. Little impact when he drifted forward in the PF, may even get in Tom or Jack's way. Possibly can fill the hole down back but GWS' 3 tall forwards are all fast and leapers.
I want the Tiges to run all over them in the 2nd half, Q4, but Nank costs us that extra rotation of a mobile, versatile player.
Just hope we have more legs anyway and it doesn't matter; and will be balanced out by them choosing Davis. Think he's a liability in the condition he is in. Won't be surprised if a late out for Keefe to play on big Tom.
Nank is in but he is still injured and can’t jump.
He came back after a groin injury, and apparently came back again after a second groin injury.
I don’t get why he came back the second time, after a comparatively short time in recovery. From personal experience it is a tough injury to get over.
Hope he has a great game tomorrow but ... I’d of felt more confident with Noah.

Love the heroics from Mummy on Grundy 1-1. Broke Eddy's heart.
With both Nank and Ivan on Mummy no heroics were possible, just too hard 1 on 2. What that meant precisely for contested centre ball clearances I don't know but it certainly couldn't be bad. A subtle strength for the whole game I believe.

We've improved as a team playing two rucks. Means Nankervis can go harder when he's on ball. If the opposition only play one ruck, we can wear them down.
