OUT: Griffiths (inj), Farmer, Hislop, Grigg
IN: Tuck, Morton, McGuane, Conca
Assuming Griffiths' injury will keep him out. If he comes up fit, he takes preference over McGuane. As for Farmer and Hislop, I genuinely feel sorry for them because neither of them should be in our 22, but for some reason they keep getting picked, keep performing badly, and keep copping the criticism for performing badly when they shouldn't have even been put there in the first place. Grigg needs to be dropped. His form has been horrendous the past couple of weeks. Needs to actually put some effort into the contest rather than doing the least amount of work possible.
Yes, McGuane is frustrating at times. Yes, in an ideal world he'd never go near the ball. BUT, we're light on for talls (Griffiths, Astbury, Moore and Grimes all injured), and at least McGuane, with all his faults, can defend somewhat, even if he can't kick. It's either him or Gourdis, who was poor against Melbourne. Or worse, Miller. Tuck's selection is long overdue.
