Chiefs Vs Midnight
3 – Miles Bergman. No injury problem this time, he’s just not the scorer the preseason hype would have had us believe
2 – Matt Rowell. Rusty in first game since winning a Brownlow. Weighing a bit heavy on his neck perhaps…?
1 – Ollie Dempsey
Devils Vs Sparkles
3 – Ollie Wines
2 – Willem Drew – between these 2 Port players there was one decent score…. Is there enough room for both in Port’s line up?
1 – Jake Waterman. The lowest score in the matchup but given his horrible supply (and Sydney’s dominance) could not in good faith give him more than the solitary vote
Vipers Vs Pukekos
3 – Tim English’s knee. A rough off season for injuries for Nelson has extended into the season. Luckily with Meek on the list (and Sam Draper) they will still have a competitive ruck, but gee this hurts
2 – Will Hayward
1 – Steele Sidebottom
Roughnecks Vs Defenestrators
3 – The Defenestrator forward line. It would be cruel to single one of them out
2 – Tom Atkins
1 – Ed Richards. Hurting yourself during a match is not great, but understandable. As a late withdrawal, poor form.
Soldiers Vs MSHB
3 – Jake Soligo. Come on man, you’re one of the leaders on this team. Don’t make me try and trade you
2 – Damien Hardwick. Not giving Ethan Read any meaningful ruck time is just poor management of your star of the future.
1 – Mitch Georgiades
