I have a bad feeling that the match committee are going to make another stupid decision or two at the selection table again in desperation to manufacture a win.
Whilst Docherty would be automatically picked if fully fit, his limited preparation and recovery from another serious knee injury just has to rule him out. Imagine if he broke down with it mid-game ...... we'd be a player short and he would be out for all of next season too, the cost is way too high to roll the dice on right now.
Same goes for Cerra, we can't carry a guy into a cut-throat final who has endured three hammies this season alone. Get him fully fit in the off-season under a new conditioning guru and go again in 2025.
Jack Martin is a waste of space and cannot be relied upon, he should not be selected under any circumstances.
I can't see TDK being risked especially as Pittonet has been carrying the workload on his own recently.
Williams & Curnow should have recovered from their issues by now and need to be brought in, McKay had an abductor injury which normally take 3-4 weeks to fix so with some luck, he should be ready to go too. McGovern is also a hamstring injury which concerns me but I think they will select him regardless, same applies with Saad.
Owies is out with suspension already, you would expexct the other outs to come from Binns, Moir, Fantasia, Lord & Carroll but I beg to differ.
I think the changes will be :
IN : McKay, Curnow, Williams & McGovern
OUT : Owies, Fantasia, Binns & Durdin
