Hill & Higgins out really hurts. Who's doing Hill's running?

 

[ARCHIE66]

Why no Clark?

Why no Clark?

Dadbod needs a run at Sandy.

 

[Mowman]

I know it means nothing but I love seeing windy naked at CHB.

I just love he is playing a few games in a row

Loving that RTB is sticking with Windy - Pou - Caminiti throw in Owens - Nas its a good little group

 

[Klaatu]

I know it means nothing but I love seeing windy named at CHB.

On what bases he won’t play there I wouldn’t of thought.

[Sir Owens]

Finally Brynes has been dropped. A deadset hack.

A shame about Hill and Higgings. Glad hill’s injury wasnt worse. Feared the worse when he went down.

Looking forward to see what Jones and Billings can offer. For some reason I feel like we are a massive chance.

It's everything right now really.

Sharman v Grundy - phew that's gonna be a tight contest.

Not sure which way it will go, but I will back our superior mids to swing it our way.

 

[Plugger35]

Good to see Billings and Jones back but Hill, Higgins and Battle are all big losses, Byrnes not so much.

The Dees losing Fritsch helps us along with Oliver not returning but overall they still look stronger across the board, it will take a big effort to win this.

 

[Mowman]

Sharman v Grundy - phew that's gonna be a tight contest.

Not sure which way it will go, but I will back our superior mids to swing it our way.

It will be Cordy helping Marshall out not Sharman you would think

 

[phantom13]

Seb Ross still sore according to seven so he might be a late out for Clark.

 

[sammm]

Needs a game in the 2s probably

Why no Clark?

 

[Saintbloke]

Peris as sub?

 

[SaintersUnite]

Does bringing Cordy in for Battle mean Howard will be let a little looser to play the intercept role while Cordy takes lock down? Will be interesting to see.

Also, a certain poster here said Billings was done and wouldn’t see another game. I believe he said the same about Sharman earlier in the year too

That will be harder for Cordy to do if he is playing as a defender rather than a forward but I would rather see Cordy in the ruck than Owens or Sharman.

Cordy is dispensable, the other two aren't.

I'm glad many of you are feeling up & about for this one. I respect your unending faith in the absurd.
To many minds greater than mine, it has been said to be a path to enlightenment.
Kudos.
I am a cynic...when the world sees rainbows I remind people that it is indeed the shade White that contains all colour within it. When people say that it is sunny, I remind them that the sun will burn us all inevitably and that all life will be extinguished by the same source that gives it.
Go Saints.

 

[pebblesofsand]

Doubt it - I'd expect Cordy will play in defence.

Caminiti and Sharman will provide some cannon fodder for Gawn and Grundy at different stages with King doing a bit of ruck work in the forward half.

Lucky we've got the superior mids.

 

[70s sainter]

Howard more license to run free
I’d pretty much given up on jones but when you see what he can actually do you remember why we need him .
A bit of pace in the midfield.
Just not sure where we’re gonna score - already struggling in that dept with Higgins out .

 

[TheNewEnsign]

It said on the Saints site it's a knee issue and they expect him to miss one week.

Thanks.

 

[Mowman]

Has anyone heard from Cairnsman ?
Sharman and Billing’s both playing

 

[SteeleSaints]

Jones & Billings are promising returns, although losing Hill & Higgins hurts. Cordy will get the job done in defence and may be asked to do some rucking also. As mentioned by others, Sharman has deserved a full game, hopefully he can make the most of his opportunities. Hopefully Battle, Hill & Higgins only miss the single game, we will finally be getting some pressure on positions.

I reckon Clark or Byrnes will be the sub.

I dont know why but Im feeling more confident about this game than I was earlier - Go SAINTERS!

 

[Diehard Saint]

Out Higgins Hill Battle Byrnes
In Cordy Billings Jones

Higgins injured? Surprised if it’s dropped.

 

[BrutThough]

Hill and Higgins are big outs but I'm looking forward to seeing how Jones and JB go in the new system. If Jones can play anywhere near this best, his speed and dynamism will be a huge addition to the midfield.

Also, presumedly the first time we will see how Cordy fits with our defenders which will be an interesting watch.

It's been a while but looking forward to seeing some different combinations in our year of exploration.

 

[Mowman]

Higgins injured? Surprised if it’s dropped.

He is injured
