Casboult if he is fit, given that Mirkov even if over his knee which he isn't expected to be is barely VFL level ATM. If Casboult also doesn't come up then I think we need to craft a way to get Jones released from defensive duties to be first ruck with SOS a principal relief. OMac probably been out too long to rush into the ones. I think it comes down to Kemp or McG. McG if he pulls up well is probably the better option as he gives versatility. Eddie back if recovered which he seems confident of, likewise Williams although the official injury list suggests not. Owies might be in trouble after another quiet game, assuming Murphy is a protected species. Can't see too many others in the firing line. I guess SPS is a chance at a return to reward him for responding in the right way to demotion, but if he is out the door at the end of the season as some have it (Gold Coast is the rumour I have heard) then is there much point?
Fyi, cripps is taller than McGovern.....and is soj.
So saying we should ruck gov because we can't go 2 smaller options is a little silly.
