The pack

[Serenader]

Scary proposal for oppositions with SST and Collins being added to the bench rotation in coming weeks. It’s fairly obvious we lose a lot of sting with Jared and Lodge coming off for a rest. I think this may not be the case with the return of these two. Also Verrills, and Butch have been outstanding. Look out!!

Fox reported that was robbos half time message, for the bench to lift their game and match what the starting pack did.

to your other point i got warm and fuzzy when vossy and brandy said imagine this team when SST and Collins are back - best pack in the comp.

let's go chooks.

So who drops off the bench to accommodate SST and Roger Ramjet?
Hutchinson and May?

How ironic we find ourselves this year in a completely different situation with injuries than last.

Our bookends are making great inroads in attack and offloading enabling our halves to exploit the opposition weaknesses.

Love how TRobbo has mixed it up with JWH with his offloads which is keeping them guessing.

[Bondicigar]

Don't think I have seen a collective personal form reversal as big as what's going on at the chooks atm.
special mention to Watson , N Butcher and Momo.

Agreed. But Robbo seems to have a huge man crush on Hutch so we will see.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

The go forward we have when JWH is on is massive. I hope he hangs around beyond next season.

[Roosterfarian]

Agreed. But Robbo seems to have a huge man crush on Hutch so we will see.

Yet gives him the last 5-10mins. What a waste of an interchange.

Still two ACLs and a bunch of concussions though right? IMO we've been lucky about WHO got those ACLs. No disrespect to Billy and Sitili but if we had Manu and Keary out (for example) then it coulda been a lot rougher.

I think Hutcho provides utility value... on multiple occasions this has won us the game. Fortunately we didn't need it yesterday but it's still handy.
