Geez Rioli back in makes the dropping of RCD even more annoying although I guess they could be resting him. Would have brought in a handful before Rioli though. Let’s just hope he kills it after a couple weeks on the bench.

It's about roles rather than personnel - always has been with Dimma. With Prestia out, Martin and Bolton will have to join the mids rotation (preferable ahead of RCD), so a hole opens up in the forwards, so Rioli comes in. This is solid thinking.

I think Rioli brought in for his speed since eagles gone tall.

They just said Edwards looked sore at training but will still make the trip across.

"Edwards' ankle sore and troubling him again"  .

This doesn’t make any sense. So Prestia (a mid) is out and to cover that loss they drop RCD (another mid) and move Bolton and dusty from the forward line into the mid rotation which is always their role. Not to mention lamber being back in who also splits his time between the fwd line and midfield. And somehow the result of all of this is that a forward spot had opened up rather than a modfield spot

Clearly RCD is being managed otherwise he'd be playing.

I'm guessing Hugo is next in line to come in if Sheds' ankle isn't right and will be the sub if Sheds is ok.

[TFL]

Give sheds a rest so he gets the extra week to get himself right for run home

[Tiger Khosh]

We can’t rest too many. Need to win this one.

[Andyy]

We can’t rest too many. Need to win this one.

Yep. Bye coming up. Must win game. I'd be playing them if they're 70-80%
