Fly's press conference today was interesting re the Daicos tag. It was as though Fly wanted it to happen; likened it to chess with a quip about being a few moves ahead. Sounds as though we have a plan or two should the tag have an effect.

Thought Ruscoe was a bit stiff to be dropped, thought he did okay. Maybe a matchup issue.

Ruscoe did well, but Murphy has form on the board, so no surprise.

We have a lot of mid size backline depth.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

I prefer Ruscoe to Markov TBH

The Bombers had a dabble at slowing him down with the sly one to the guts and they fell all over him whenever they could but he hardly goes to ground either. Keep an eye out for the extra attention he will start to receive compared to others.
Mate I agree
Do you think it’s part of the plan to keep him close to Maynard at the beginning of the game in case someone tries to really knock him around ?
I remember I think it was late third quarter he was at a centre bounce and stringer tried to get his shoulder into Nick and Mitchell stepped straight in front of him
It seems the older or more physical players are really protective of the kid
I can’t remember Pendles remonstrating quite so actively as he did last weekend
And the melee at quarter time
A couple numbers tried to get near him and Maynard and checkers reacted very quickly
Checkers actually grabbed 2 bombers players and Maynard came straight in and pushed his way into the middle of it
We all know Maynard won’t take a backward step in the physical battle
You’re obliged to fly the flag for your teammates, regardless of any players age or experience. Nicks a target because he’s good, not because he’s young, so hes had to deal with it earlier than most. Seems like he’s doing a pretty decent job so far

StK just got pipped by their nemesis PA.
They couldn't even win despite a free kick advantage of 28-14.
Suddenly our game on Sunday assumes an extra significance.
If we win, we are clear leaders on top of the ladder.
Free Julian Assange!!
