We’re the type of team that will enjoy the short 5 day break.

Feel like it makes things less complicated

McStay should get a week or 2 for his bump on
Jetta…if they are consistent.

Rich hammy, McStay suspension on top of Martin injury all beneficial

We are going to need plenty to go our way to beat them

Anyone thinking we’d make 5 changes after a win needs to have a word with themselves

what would your ins and outs be?

Bellchambers managed, Phillips in

Laverde out - cursed, Draper in playing a negative role on Andrews. 2nd ruck.

Hibberd out - omitted, Shiel to the guts

Gleeson out for BZT

Francis to 3rd, Hurley 2nd, BZT 1st talls, Ridley to do what ever he wants

Smack gets a game to prove he can do something as a KPF otherwise its 2 rucks and Stewart going forward

Langford to take over Hibberds role on three wing

Shiel, Parish, mcgrath, Merrett as on ballers

preaching to the choir, Stewart to take mckernans role permanently imo he isnt that good and he aint gonna come into spectacular form at the end of his carreer and definitely we need the double ruck setup!!

Harris Andrews will dine out on our long bombs down the line

We haven’t seen Stewart in 2 and half years, who knows if he’s up to it anymore than smack is

Townsend or the 2nd ruck will have their work cut out trying to stop that

thats fair but the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

We have to try new things, mckernan hasnt done much in the last 3 games.

In: Draper(Debut) Zerk-Thatcher, Shiel
Out: Laverde (inj) Gleeson, Smith(managed),

B: Saad Hurley Zerk-Thatcher
HB: Francis Ridley McKenna
C: Ham Merrett Hibberd
HF: Zaharakis McKernan Langford
FF: Townsend Bellchambers Tipungwuti
R: Draper Shiel McGrath
Int: Cahill Redman Snelling Parish

Emg: Mosquito, Stewart, Phillips, Gleeson

if Langford goes for that bump, Mozzie debuts as well.

if Belly and Draper can play a good half in the ruck and compete up forward and kick a goal we are a chance.

Give smith a week off with Knee.

need zerk-Thatchers height in defence.

Agreed lol im off him completely but we are definitely undermanned right now

One thing I liked from the Woosha press conference was his comment that skills under pressure might improve as a result of the short breaks coming up because it will essentially replace the practice they’re unable to do at the moment due to the lack of contact training.

I was happy about the seemingly positive attitude to this

McKenna needs basic skills training in how to hold the ball without dropping it

Is Guelfi a chance to come back in at all?
