Foster can't be any worse than Jones et al, I'd play him from the square, a role he did with aplomb as a junior.... The others are "manufactured" forwards.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Tiges will be under the pump to win and win well. A loss would be unthinkable. Given where the 2 teams are at, they should do it fairly easily iMO.

Agree. We seem to be going well enough to get to within "honourable loss" territory.  A win seems highly unlikely.

Cripps could have 50 possessions and kick 8 himself though.

Yet out midfield will thrash theirs, especially if they've got a few injured.....

Finals, then 4 in a row!

if the Tiges lose, the jungle drums will start beating, Dimmer will be half way out the door, and the team's finals credentials will be dealt a hefty blow. They would also be aware that we've owned them a fair bit recently........

There's too much riding on this for them to lose.

I'm all for supporting my team, but...........

After watching last night's game and taking Richmond's injuries into account, I reckon we could go close to an upset.

Our defence is more than capable of limiting Richmond's forwards.  Our midfield should be significantly stronger than Richmond's.  The only problem is that we don't have the forwards to kick a winning score  Sad

Hopefully someone in the NBs will put their hand up.
