gotta stay competetive no matter what happens.
to me every week we have to pick sides with maturity experience good size and height and a bar should be set.
while doing this we have to acknowledge the need to continue to get games into likely kids and have a darn good look at some of the fringe players like arnot, helbig , miles, ohanlon dea etc.
we have to stop playing too many of the blokes who constantly fail under pressure.
play miles instead newman. play anyone instead of grigg. drop edwards keep lloyd bring knights in and see if he cant string some games together and if his body holds up.
drop vickery bring in elton drop hmpson if need be when maric is fit and play griffiths as the second ruck. pee chaplin off when rance is fit shame there is no other option right now.
as side that may not win but remain competetive and we get to find out about players would go
b/ morris - rance - dea/mcintosh
hb/ helbig - astbury - grimes
c/ ellis - martin - deledio
hf/ gordon - elton -knights
f/ griffiths - riwoldt - lloyd
r/ maric - cotchin - miles
int/ lennon - arnot - vlastuin - conca . one of if not both of jackson and thoimas would have to get games to provide grunt.
make sure when injuries hit the likes of mcdonough mcbean get some games and experience.ffs even ifyy blokes like banfield darrou lets at least have a look at what they have to offer.
what do we really lose if blokes like newman grigg houli edwards chaplin vickery petterd foley king and several others dont get games. thse blokes should be leaders and they should be capable of taking us to the next level. time and time again they have shown they are not capable of doing it. its time to complete the rebuild instead of only half finishing it. time to build and develop and if that means a step or two backwards so be it.
