Crocs vs Taipans, Dec 2

Loughton has been ordinary this season no question. Wortho started well but has looked sluggish of late. I'm guessing Trigger is still a little hampered by his injury, he's not playing too bad but is getting few minutes.

If the Crocs fold, I'd like to see Taipans scooping back some of their young talent like Kay and Steindl to replace some of their veterans.

#SnoochBingo JACKPOT!

I've been gambling on snooch saying 'Fearne is overrated', I've just put a down payment on a golden toilet......

What an interesting league we have, each team can look very ordinary and yet all can be very impressive.

In both games today the losing coach should have done a Joey Wright and explode and get a tech foul and try and turn the game back in their favour but unfortunately Fearne and Gleeson will look back and wonder why they didn't... It's hard to work out who was worse.
Wildcats played well offensively in the first half but dreadful defensively and where was the evening up of the foul count? Almost felt like both coaches didn't care enough

Bit of a strange HT interview from Kay - "we want to do it for Conk".

Hmmm

Jett realised he needed to score 40 per game or else he'd get the sack too.

Haven't heard any goss but I suspect the loss of Mick Downer's cool head and ability to relate to the players is a big factor.

That and losing Wilbekin.

In other news, good to see Mitch Norton with the C next to his name, well deserved.

Maybe the 5-blot foul count has something to do with it.

This is nutso!

none of CNS starting 5 have scored. Bruce carrying the team with 2.

Brian who ?

I was kinda hoping Cairns dropped Craig and signed Conklin. How hilarious would it be to see Conklin coming out and dropping 30 on the team that fired him in the same week.

With that being said, I wouldn't be surprised if they lost by 40 points.

Nothing would surprise me with this TVL team anymore ;)

They only lost by 6 to the Taipans last time they met with Conklin.

And from memory paul's analysis/stats suggest they play better without Conklin.

Therefore there's a real possibility of a Crocs win.

except for by firing last seasons MVP the Crocs management basically said no ones jobs are safe.

"Players will want to come out and "prove" that they are good enough to get the win without needing a Conklin."

Except they already did that against Melbourne so they have nothing left to prove.

Tipping the Crocs to get this one.

It's like when a coach gets sacked, generally the week after the Players put in an inspired performance.

Think the same could happen here. Players will want to come out and "prove" that they are good enough to get the win without needing a Conklin.

Kay and Young will have their sights set on out-working. out-hustling the likes of Burston, Loughton and Worthington.
