Will be interesting to see if Bird and Hall take their places in the team...I hope Barry doesn't play with a dodgy groin(as the actress said to the Bishop) and we have a repeat of 2007

Bloody hope so, Barlow is first emergency! Help!

I'm surprised to see the Lions drop Charman and go in with just one ruckman, especially as young and inexperienced as Leuenberger. Did Voss not watch last week's Swans Hawks game?

Does anyone know if there is an injury cloud over Charman that explains it? He's named as an emergency, which suggests not.

[The Big Cat]

Charman out is interesting for the lions. Is Umpire Meredith any relation to our youngster, Brett. Father or brother I hope!

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Didn't Bird come back on after hurting his knee?

They plan to beat us in the clinches, not in the air.

[Robbo]

How is Barlow first emergency?

@@@@ me.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

When Barlow is an emergency, it really is an emergency.

True. They've been saying all week they're going for pace and speed to beat us, not rucks. I really don't know if that's wise.

[ROK Lobster]

Sounds like sily bugers. Late change to include Charman?

[DeadlyAkkuret]

That's the thing about Voss's Lions. They run and they run, and they run and they run, until it belies belief.

Barlow back in the side is not what we need ATM.

I guess Mitch Clark will be the one to do the rucking duties when Leuenberger is having a rest...
