Pretty boring here at work. I've got a bit of time on my hands so what follows is a rather lengthy rundown of the team I would play.
BP : Plowman. If fit has to get the gig. Didn't think he was doing that badly on Cameron, but after Charlie got going noone was good enough to stop him. Certainly not Polson? Let's face it he gets a game.
FB : Jones. Has played on and beaten Reiwoldt on previous occasions and don't see that changing.
BP : Simpson. Really, really struggling with this bloke. I have always loved him but I really think he may have gone one year too long. Very hesitantly picked him here.
HB : SPS. Played reasonable well in the bullants game for 3 quarters apparently so I see him coming straight back in.
CHB : Weitering. Think Lynch will play at CHF so Weiters form has been good enough to have first crack.
HB : Docherty. No brainer. Even as rusty as he is, his output is generally better than most and he can only get better.
W : Walsh. Jet. 100% lock.
C : Cripps. Who else.
W : Dow. Was pleasantly surprised by his output on Sunday. Took a few chances and showed a bit. I think we need to build on his confidence by selecting him and playing him on the ground. It may be the tonic he needs
HF : Newnes. Shows some toe but seriously are we a magnet for butchers of the ball? Still gives us some extra run.
CHF : Levi. Not much else in the tank and this bloke has done enough to get a run. Obviously he is also the Kreuzer backup so as long as Kreuz doesn't go to CHF when they change should work well. (Kreuzer, bench McGovern CHF)
HF : Martin. Certainly has done enough to warrant selection and I look forward to him responding to the massive crowd and atmosphere.
FP : Eddie : The old master should be good for a couple and obviously will be a crowd puller just by being there. That is, if they actually let the crowd in!
FF : De Koning : This kid gives a %100 each time he plays and without Rance they'll have to use some good to counter his height. I think he could be the surprise packet of the round. Really impresses me.
FP : Silvagni : Deserves a place in the side and maybe with De Koning taking the heat, maybe Jack doesn't have to compete against 2-3?
RU : Kreuzer. Thought long and hard over this one, but I'm going to take a punt and play the big fella as terrible as he was on Sunday. He gets credits for the amount of times he's carried us.
RR : Curnow. Likely get's the Martin tag. Can go with him but the strength of Martin is the concern.
RO : Murphy. things improved markedly when smurph went onto the ball post Bolton last year, so I'm hoping this will continue. Who knows
INT1 : McGovern. I wouldn't pick him but they have invested so much time and money on this bloke, they can't leave him out just yet. Also he's the logical choice to come on when Kreuzer rests.
INT2 : Williamson. Read the bullant's match report and that was enough for me. Get him in. Mr Utility.
INT3 : Setterfield. Servicable soldier.
INT4 : Newman (for Plowman if he doesn't get up) OR Gibbons,
