I think even with Cunnington back who is a mean hombre around the coalface we should have Nth covered, they dont have much up forward now Ben Brown has left and our defense should be capable of keeping them to a low score.
I rate Noble as a coach and he knows how to build a list as he showed at Brisbane but they are still along way off us in terms of overall list talent IMO and this is a game we should win well with a bit more to play for in terms of still being in the hunt for finals and the coach needing to tally up some wins to cement his job.

Yes EB, I agree that Noble has done a very good job after taking over a rabble. If North can notch another couple of wins he could be up for coach of the year.
Who was it who used to go troppo when someone used the term "danger game"? I don't think it's a danger game but, if we give North the slightest opportunity, they'll grab it.
Four quarters of good, hard footy and we'll notch up another win.

Kemp in probably means that Murphy and/or Charlie are not.
Struggling to find 3 players worthy of being dropped from the side in order to make that happen. I don't think we have any new injuries.

If Cripps is fit to play then that's two ins.....maybe Cottrell and Newnes outs?

EB....as Kruddler said, any outs would be a tad unlucky after last week but if Cripps is fit he's a definite in. Would be a bit harsh to name a kid for his debut and then park him on the bench I reckon. Hopefully in a few more weeks it'll be even more difficult for selectors if they have blokes like Charlie to choose from as well.
