This'll be one of our toughest assignments so far this year, up there with the Port challenge. Every side we've beaten this year has either been ordinary (cheats.com.au), in bad form (Fluffy Ducks) or coached badly (Rottingwood). The Aints are a good side in very good form who are coached well.
It would seem from the exaggerated tyre pumping of Cuningham's recent games that he'll get the nod this week. Might seem harsh but his lack of hardness & consistency bother me. Yes, some blokes just aren't hard at it so they'd better make up for it with a ruthless consistency/influence on the game... a la Braddles. If Cuningham gets a call up his run will be critical.
There will be some selection challenges as our experience to newbie ratio at the moment seems pretty right. If SOJ and ZF are fit and wanting a recall, who goes out? Kerridge and Smedts? Jones deserves a serious look owing to his NBs form, but who would he replace? Personally, I'd be very tempted to not make any changes!

Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
