Out: C. Sheehan,  A. Phillips,  C. Polson,  M. Korcheck,  L. Sumner,  Z. Fisher

I don't know if Sumner was dropped or is injured. He didn't see out last week. Korchek is a surprise. He wasn't that bad. Sheehan missing again is a disaster, as he was excellent last week.
This team is not as strong as last week's.

Willi look strong, but it would be nice to give them a blood nose.

[Thryleon]

Sumner is out for three weeks with a hamstring.

[Amers]

Harry Mac to ruck with no Phillips, Gorringe or Korcheck as back up ??

I'm not sure I like that idea.

[cookie2]

Does not look like the idea of Jones in the backline is being pursued unless he swaps around with JGM?

Jones will have to be used in the ruck.

[cookie2]

Jones will have to be used in the ruck.

True. I'd temporarily forgotten Phillips won't be there.

[crashlander]

Our lack of ruckmen is very much to the fore. Nick Meese isn't the greatest ruckman going around, but we don't have a bona fides ruckman to compete against him.

What's happened to Auricchio?

He moved to Sydney and is playing in the Sydney competition.
