Brad Crouch has been offered a one-match suspension following an incident during last night's match against Brisbane.

Updated Round 1 Team

B. Battle Howard Wilkie

H.B. Coffield Cordy Sinclair

C. Hill Gresham NWM

H.F. Butler Caminiti Phillipou

F. Higgins Sharman Membrey

Foll. Marshall Steele Byrnes

I/C. Clark, Owens, Ross, Windhager, Campbell

I heard that Caminiti was pretty blown out after a very short time, and i'd prefer Webster up the back ,and rotate, one of Battle or Howard forward.
Apart from that its pretty close to what i'd be thinking. Maybe not Campbell as sub.
I'd maybe have Wood in ahead of Owens. Crouch is one of the first picked, which pushes Byrnes to sub, though i hate to do that to him again.

OOps just read the previous post. I'd bring in Bytel for Crouch.

Oops just read it better, Crouch back in.

Like the side.
All depends whether you play long term injured players first 22 like Coffield then he plays but do think Clark needs a few weeks at Sandy.

DMac is a first 22 but needs to get some gametime so a weeks at Sandy works same issue with Campbell.

Is an underdone Campbell better than an intried Caminti?

I would like to think Caminti starts but he does not have the fitness. Best place is as sub at best.

Think Byrnes gets a gig Bytel probably not.

So replace Cordy with one of the above and maybe Paton.

TBH I forgot Clark. Neither he nor Coff set the world on fire on Friday. Caminiti looked good but is raw. We have a lot of his type in the squad now. Byrnes was probably our best on Friday so in at the moment.

I also liked what I saw from Heath but happy to defer to others who think he is still a way off.

Ross?

 

[lewdogs]

Ross?

Is he injured?

 

[Longmembrey]

Sorry if its been mentioned but any update on Windhager?

 

[lewdogs]

Sorry if its been mentioned but any update on Windhager?

Broken finger but should play round one.

 

[saintmike65]

Tony on saintsational has mentioned he's still having issues with the calf. That was a little while ago.

It's pretty concerning.

He’s had issues with the calf most of the preseason..unlikely to see him anytime soon.

 

[saintmike65]

Sorry if its been mentioned but any update on Windhager?

Broken hand that requires surgery..club still hopeful he’ll be available round 1.

 

[Plugger35]

It would be a bonus if we can get Windhager back for Round 1, he would be the perfect player to tag Brayshaw with his elite running ability.

Trying to get into RTB's head???
Round 1 Team

B. Paton Howard Webster

H.B. Sinclair Wilkie NWM

C. Hill Gresham McKenzie

H.F. Windhager Battle Wood

F. Butler Membrey Higgins

Foll. Marshall Steele Crouch

I/C. Clark, Coffield, Jones, Ross, Owens-sub

Emerg. Billings, Cordy, Sharman

Jones and McKenzie won’t be available, Membrey doubtful & Coffield under done.
Team will most likely be picked from players that played the last 2 games.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

He’s had issues with the calf most of the preseason..unlikely to see him anytime soon.

St Kilda wingman Dan McKenzie to miss start of 2023 season

There's more unwanted news out of Moorabbin.
