Agree about Plowman, he along with Newman and Saad tend to play taller than people expect, Hayes is also pretty good at contesting in the air. The trick in the wet is always to bring the ball to ground in a controlled manner and have numbers ready at the fall.
Will need deep runners, I'd rest Motlop, keep the likes of Cottrell, LoB, Newnes, Durdin and Owies as they all have the two way work ethic. Assuming Kennedy is straight back in and good to go.
I've heard Stringer and McGrath are 50/50 at best, Stringer has always bullied us a bit, it's that Stringer / Membrey / Parker size we often struggle with. I realise he gives up some size but as a hard tag I'd run Stocker on Stringer to start with assuming Stringer plays.
