The good news is, Michael Barlow is off to see a tailor. The bad news is that he didn’t pay his the bill last time he went to the tailor and some blokes were sent around to break Barlow’s thumb which will see him out for two weeks but hopefully we won’t have to watch his bum crack through the finals. Nat Fyfe is also in some strife, although in his case it was he who was dishing out the fists of justice which, after a few hours of arguing otherwise, is worth a 2 week rest. The good news is that Hayden Ballantyne is back to cover for the two of them after missing last week with a bit of a leg based issue. Joining him on the extended interchange bench will be Nick Suban, Matt de Boer, Garrick Ibbotson and Jack Hannath with three players to be axed from the squad before the game. The Lions have brought in Ashley McGrath for a send off game and a few other blokes who probably won’t be around bast the 30th.
