Hope Kenny can get a bit more game time this week. He looked really solid while out there against Souths.

Would assume Blair will play Sunday too IMO.

Why do you 'assume' bobby will play? He might not be 100% yet... I hope he does, though. It would be criminal if he has been left out, because he is dropped and not because he's still injured.

Going off what Bellamy said before last weeks game he was fairly close to playing. I'm sure an extra weeks rest has helped him out immensely. No way would he be dropped.

Welcome to the board btw :)

Yep. I would expect Blair back in, O'Neill to the wing and Mahe to drop out.

Cheers for the welcome.
How certain are we that Blair is back in? My fantasy side can't last another week without him haha.

I'd say we cant be certain at all, though I also reckon he'll come back this week - it was mentioned that it wasn't serious at all (though I bet he would've been hurting for the best part of the last fortnight) and I think he's most definitely needed in the side - shame to see him go, especially after what finally seems like his year....he's obviously been waiting patiently for a regular opportunity, he finally gets one and has certainly made the most of it.

:lol: He wasn't involved a lot but I liked what he did. Has nice footwork for a forward and nice ball skills.

Sallymay here are Kenny's stats v Souths: 14 minutes, 5 runs, 38 metres gained, 1 tackle break, 9 tackles.

I remember he got absolutely smashed on his first hit up.

Yeah, pretty sure the commentators kept referring to K-Brom as "young bromwich" had a couple of good runs in their half and close to their try line if I recall correctly.

Did the commentators even realise we were playing? they were to busy blowing their loads over rabble losing. The commentators were very disappointing on Friday night. They even said the rabble didn`t deserve that scoreline..WELL buddy THEY DID....

Does anyone know if there are any pubs in Melbourne that will be showing this game live?
