Unfortunately, Rodrigo and Roberts seem to disappear when things get rough. I"m sure they will end up playing.

I love MB but do struggle to understand some very basic human nature traits on the way a game develops. If I was an opposing coach I'd always have thugs playing against us since it really takes us out of our game with certain lineups.
Indeed although as you say we now have some pretty big units fit and available. Koch is pretty tall and good in contact too. Dam James and Harrison also get stuck in.

I don’t think this is a game for either of the Rs to start and hopefully MB won’t think they are fully match fit.

Would be nice to repeat last season’s home result and would help with our GD (thanks for that Citeh)
