“Guelfi simply didnt force his way out of the backline and Into the midfield so he is dropped altogether”
What a stupid thing to say coming from a headcoach.
You are the one responsible for where players line up,
How does one force his way out of a back pocket and into the midfield if you dont play him there?
You look at our team sheet and about 4 or 5 blokes are playing out of position because they cant pick a side.
I don’t hate these changes as much as most. Can’t afford to play Hooker (AA), Hurley (AA), Ambrose (best stopper) and Francis against a forward line like Brisbane’s.
Redman is in our 18. Bloke is a very good footballer.
Brown had to come in for McKernan. There is genuinely no other fit option.
The only selection that absolutely stinks is Myers in. 3/4 I’m content with, albeit the omission of Draper is annoying after Woosha’s presser pumping him up.
Said it was a swap for Hooker, but also saying it was good to rest up for North. So by the way he was talkign seems like Franga will be back for North since while not injured, a good rest as he was pretty banged up.
