Changes for next week against the Hawks?

[one-eyed]

Looks like we got through unscathed (touchwood) .

Prestia and Vlastuin available.

Fire away with your changes?

Out: Mansell (suspended or unlucky omission), Castagna

Playing 2 rucks against inexperienced ones has worked well for us this season so would keep that going against the hawks.

My thoughts exactly.

George has to go bloody hell.

Soldo really annoys me. I know he gives nank a chop out but he’s just so useless. Taking tacklers on.. poor disposals.. clunky and clumsy. Just not a footy player.

Happy if we go with this.

I see what you mean but we really need that chop out for Nank. Without Soldo he gets smashed physically every week.

Also think Soldo is working into confidence after his knee.

Wouldn't drop him yet but if we had Chol or CCJ I'd be playing them instead.

Mansell, Castagna, Soldo - out
Vlastuin, Prestia, Sonsie - In

Im of the belief we need to find 3 or 4 youngsters before the pointy end of the season arrives. Gibcus 1, Maurice 2,
We need 2 of Sonsie, Banks, Brown or Clarke to push through and put pressure on for spots.

I know Soldo give Nank a chop out but he is just a roadblock for our movement toward. He either fumbles or turns it over  when he gets it on the wing.

Have to agree he is not a footballer.

I didn’t see the game but what was with Soldo? Has the injury and long time since 2019 (when he was actually fairly decent) resulted in his drop off?

I’ve never really rated him tbh. His sole purpose is to help nank out. Anything else is a bonus, right ?
But he just seems so unaware. Maybe I’m just picking on him but he just really frustrates me. Basically a Castagna of a ruckman if you will.

Except he is a good set shot

But if we went into a final with 4 first year players you would be the first to wonder what was going through our selectors heads. 
I'm generally with your direction, but I think 4 draftees are too many to take into a final.
Maurice & Gibby are walk up starts to make the side though ...         

[Rampsation]

We just need to develop them enough that if we have to use them we can. Anything can happen we have to have 28 or 29 players ready to go at finals time. I see a lot of potentual in Banks. I think he'll surprise a few. I think our draft last year looks outstanding.
