    I'm sure we will be fully prepared for Mummy. If he doesn't create carnage early he will be spent by half time trying to chase big Tommy

          Yep all we need to do is keep him running all day long. Hold for until into the 3rd/4th and then take advantage.

              All the more reason why he might try and slow us down by throwing his weight around early in the game. It is surely much easier to chase a bruised and battered, hobbling opponent for someone like Mummy.

                Wait until Paps tackles Mummy , he (M) won’t know what hit him .

                  Hayward to Haynes could be a good decision! If it's worked in the past, why not give it another go eh?

                  Taylor might be a taller ask.. and I mean that literally.. he plays a lot more contested than Haynes. Much more of a bulking 1v1 defender. We will rely on either Buddy or McLean to effectively work him over! Good luck to either of them... Taylor's in ripping form atm!

                    I don't think we get to pick all the match ups. Typically it is the defending team that picks the match ups - no? So Taylor is more likely to be deciding he'll match up on Buddy than the other way around. Otherwise I'd advocate that we keep Taylor's hands full with McLean.

                      It says on the SMH site the game is sold out.

                        Yes, we could do that, or we could give someone the task of taking him out. I sorta like Braeden Campbell for the job. He's so quick, it will be a bit like the rabbit scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Mummy idly thinking that there's no danger here, then WHACK! a young Braeden wrapped around his throat.

                        You know it makes sense.

                          I think Blakey would have been the man for the job. I swear I thought he was going to kill some players went he tackled them in his beserk fashion.

                          But I rather fancy young Errol to tackle the Mummy.

                            Perhaps if he keeps a low profile, then UP! Straight to the groin!

                              Just watched John and Dane on 360.

                              Josh had a light run on the weekend and today - depends on Thursday.

                              Callum, 'wait and see'. I think he intimated Callum wasn't feeling terribly. Mentioned how Callum has has such a good year and that it's an elimination final.

                              I have a feeling Mills will play. Decisive factor may be risk of rupturing achilles.

                              Any medical experts able to give a view on correlation between achilles tendinitis and risk of rupture?

                                With no travel from Covid states, I wonder what the make up of the crowd will be? A lot of Hawks supporters in Launceston who will barrack for GWS :-(
