Prelim final vs Cowboys

[glennb]

Koroibete 50/50chance to play, only lasted 15mins at captain's run. Young Tonumaipea looks like the replacement says Nick Hart from the Herald Sun

[steaming stormer]

crap - that's a huge problem for us

[yourhero]

Frank said somewhere that in order for Koro to play on Sat, he would have to train strongly in the Captains run... I assume that puts a red line through him. Huge, huge out for us.

Id I'd rather Mahe than Young!

[Inglis#3]

Well that piece of news is a godawful way to start the weekend.

Koro to play

Says who?

It's looking highly unlikely - love for him to be there, but can't afford passengers. ..... should be fine for the gf

Yep, this. While it's certainly not ideal should he not play and would love nothing more for him to do so, there's no point in playing him if he's only half fit especially one which negates his greatest strength in his speed. It's much better to have a fully fit bloke than a half fit one in most cases. Big loss but still certainly winnable without him.

Huge loss and I'd rather Mahe play. He can catch a high ball and is strong out of dummy half.

Roy Ward from The Age says coaches will make call on Koroibete, but he will most likely play

[bula]

If he lasted only 15 minutes as was mentioned earlier then I can't see him playing.

[Mattpoet]

We can only wait and see I guess, we don't know what he had to do.

Koro to play

Says who?

Says the whole Melbourne team
