Reckon McCarthy is almost a lock to be sub

Hall in for Hough
Allan back to cover Cole
Williams for Reid

Plus him not being there long, and also looking like he has a game that could actually impact coming on as a sub (after McQualter was criticised about not using it last week)
N.F.W. TMAC is a defender that can actually kick the ball where as Hall can't and that is why he or Hutch will be the sub.
 
As long as they don't make hall the sub, he's not the type imo to come on and make a difference late.

Would prefer they give him proper midfield minutes and if he doesn't impact then sub him off.
That will be by half time .

Tbh, don't really expect anyone to come on as a sub and make much of a difference - none have much experience at this level. Happy to be pleasantly surprised.

Kelly should be the sub (I'm aware this won't happen).

Failing him, Hutchinson or Hunt. (Again, I'm aware this won't happen)

These are all perfect candidates.

They all deserve the demotion to sub if they aren't directly omitted.

Hard for McCarthy or Hall to show anything in that role.
 
There’s 8 defenders in that team named. The weakest one is Allan but he rightfully is getting a full game. It’s between Tmac and Maric. Tmac overall seems to not only atack well but also defend well, so Maric really should be the sub this week

Maric’s been playing wing, Dewar’s gone back.
 
Move Dewar back on to the wing and Maric to sub. Win/win
Why would we use Maric as the sub? He's made some mistakes but he's been a breath of fresh air this season. It is unlikely that he's a long term option but he's far from the first player out of the side.

Dewar had a good game down back last week. Let’s give him a couple more down there before we move him to the wing again.

Created run and carry.

21ds 600m+ and 90%DE. Not sure you’d be moving any defender off the back of those numbers.

Probably should’ve been rising star nom on the back of those. If we win I reckon he would have been.

Because Vish has it in for him 😉

It shouldn't be a "demotion". Already failing if the sub is just the 23rd picked player - which is where Mini (and many other spud coaches sit atm)

It should be a senior player who is suited for a role where they can come in late, adjust to the game and make an impact.

TK and Hunt are perfect options imo, not because of a form thing, but because I think they would be good at it.
 
It's a sub-fest....McCarthy with a nose in front, Hall a smokey, Maric and Hutch in the pack, TK and Hunt rough outsiders, it's a neck n' neck race and anyone's guess.

You gotta think we're probably reaching a good point with our team selection when the sub is the main talking point.
It's all good, in 2 weeks Owies is straight back in and normal service will resume. :)
