My team will be controversial & it is for a best possible 22, injuries all gone:
B Ryan Hamling Logue
HB Wilson Pearce S Hill
C B Hill Mundy Langdon
HF Switkowski Hogan Walters
F Lobb Taberner Matera
R Sandilands Fyfe Conca
IC Blakely Giro Cerra Banfield
E Darcy Colyer Cox Brayshaw Hughes
Midfield rotations thus:
Runners B Hill Langdon Giro
Distributors: Mundy Cerra S Hill
Extractors: Fyfe Blakely Walters
Defenders: Conca Banfield.
Runners to play outside wing type roles.
Extractors to hunt the ball & give to distributors, ideally.
Defenders to block when we are winning the ruck, but to defend opposition mids primarily.
I know there will be those screaming for Brayshaw in particular & he was my next mid defender I would choose, & I ran out of mids. Ideally, it would be 3 of each type, so I had to drop one & I think the 3 runners will provide defensive support, particularly if they can rotate as a trio. Huge running power there.
There will also be those wanting McCarthy & especially Cox, but I couldn't fit them in.
Ditto Duman, but I have him behind both Logue & even Hughes who I think has potential.
And of course Sandi over Darcy is a big call. I think Darcy will be our number 1 ruck in actuality, but this is pie in the sky best 22, IMO
Come at me
No Brayshaw = delusional!
And for others in the thread - Brayshaw is much more than a tackling machine. He is actually pretty good at retaining possession and making sound decisions while under pressure - essential qualities for a fine inside mid.
