Ahead of the Cats Rd4 contest, Cats TV asked Tom Lonergan, George Burbury and Hamish McIntosh which part of the Eagles’ game would be under scrutiny this Saturday night.  

This week McIntosh admits the Eagles’ powerhouse of Dean Cox, Nic Naitanui and Callum Sinclair is sure to present the Cats ruck with one of the most difficult challenges of the year.

However, McIntosh is confident that his partnership with Dawson is strong enough to compete against the best.

“Dawes, Blitz and I just have to make sure we’re competing hard and putting in a first class effort,” McIntosh told Match Committee.  

“Those three including Sinclair are probably the best combination in the league - so it’s a massive challenge but Dawson and I are excited by it and we’ve been working well so far and hopefully we’ll come here Saturday night and compete hard against a competitive competition.”
