Conca is most likely facing an enforced holiday so that will be at least one change.

Surely the stage is set to release our beans.

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

McBean won't be getting gig ...just quietly. No seriously, not an option

Grigg for Cpnca will be it

And perhaps if he's deemed fit Morris for Gordon or LLoyd. I believe Morris told a pre-match that despite his shoulder problems (admits needs surgery) what's to play out the season  :facepalm

Mcbean kicked 4, surely he presents as a better option than Gordon

Just saying based on a what was said at a pre-match function, he isn't likely to play this year. Number of reasons, not enough beef on them bones, defensively needs to improve etc. Something I found interesting was that he hasn't done a full pre-season in his 2 years, wasn't aware of that.

Also, if the Club was fair dinkum, they would drop or seriously look at dropping Newman.

His lack of pace against the kids from the Giants shone like a beach today. Bordered on being really sad seeing him struggle the way he did

How about Newman retiring all together. Total passenger today, added nothing whatsoever.

Need to bring McDonough in for him. Enough of this charade. It's hurting us. Even Dea is another one who can more than adequately play IMHO.

Grigg will come in for Conca.

With talk of finals back again, it won't be a surprise if Dimma and the match committee decide to return to some of their 'old favourites'.

In: Morris, Grigg

Out: Conca (susp.), Gordon.

Agree but also think they might drop back Lloyd
