Pre Game -Port v Blues R2 (Sat, March 30, 5.10pm)

[kruddler]

I have only seen highlights but Port set out to bully Gawn and were successful in limiting his influence.

Who will they target this week and how will we counter their questionable tactics.  Gawn’s teammates left him like a shag on rock in what was a weak effort and poor coaching.

The other question is how will Phillips and McKay deal with Ryder and Lycett?  Should we play Lobbe (assuming Kreuzer isn’t ready)?

re Gawn,
Everyone is raving about these tactics and how they won the game off them. Maybe.

However, Eddie and co told us this morning that Gawn actually spent some time in hospital last week having a boil removed(? or whatever they do to them) and had to be put under a general anesthetic for it. So yes, he looked sluggish and took a lot of crap without firing back a whole lot, but thats because he probably shouldn't have been playing due to his far from ideal lead up.
