Since then, the Crabs have lost JD Hurricane but have excellent replacements in Pretzel Spark or Zinzan Brumby, so no major impact there. The Gamblers have lost Morgan Burridge, which is more of a concern, though his replacement Jack Dempsey had a storming game from the bench last time out. Look out for Ben Herd who was a standout for the Gamblers. Great to see a return to form for the mercurial winger. Aaron O'Neill is also a great all-round hooker and whilst he may lose some dynamism and power to Okoudou Gbagbo, should be more reliable at the line-out. Key battle may be whether the Gamblers can contain the attacking verve of Ginger Furball. Keep him quiet and they have a small, very small, chance of a famous away win.
Match is already over. No one watched it, it seems, but it was a pretty tight one. Gamblers were winning until the Crabs ran away with it in the last ten.

Phlegm did well for once? Whoever started in the centres to be sacked please. On a more serious note, not the worst effort I guess.
