Changes V Giants RD 18

[martinson]

Team selection has bamboozled me for a few weeks. I get the rationale , just don't understand how some of the names are in there.

Still we've got a strong enough side to be winning this easily and surely we'll be fired up.

 

[martinson]

We've just blown the theory that Lyons and Mathieson can't play in the same side out of the water.

 

[LIONS08]

I really like this team! Obviously missing a couple by I like it!!

 

[KissKiss]

Sharp still in. Just don’t get it. Those wing positions are a big problem.

I am surprised but it wouldn't surprise me if Tunstill is pretty tired after 3 games and needs the rest. So Sharp stays until Berry or Prior are fit.

Matho and Lyons together will be interesting. Personally think they will be competing to stay in the team

 

[RoyBoy17]

Berry and Prior injured one more week, pretty simple. Clug barely plays on the wing anymore.

Surely Clug can do a job on the wing for a game. He would give us more than Sharp. Then Dev in the middle. I would have Tunstill on the wing ahead of Sharp

 

[Squizz89]

Well people have been calling for Matho. Now let’s see what real transition D looks like…

 

[3KZ is Football]

ELITE

Glad everyone finds it funny that our best defender last week got dropped and instead we have rushed two players who missed last week, one returning from serious injury I don’t take it personally, but I imagine Ryan Lester feels sad at being dropped. Glad you all find it funny though.

Let’s see how we go in the contested possessions in defence on Saturday. Hope Gardiner and Answerth can improve. They need to.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Glad we rushed a sadly out of form Dan McStay back into the team. Let’s see how that goes. Naturally I hope he does really well.

 

[Pride of lions]

Rayner on interchange is interesting. Could be a warning sign for him. Has to start producing very soon.

 

[Lazza16]

Need Dusty Rhodes n Alan Thompson to make comebacks or Norman Dare.

Jury is out until Saturday around 4 PM

Yes he definitely will start on the bench, just like Harris Andrews was named and started up forward for several weeks.

Given that Zorko, Jerry and Rich are still sidelined through injury, this is probably just about the best team we could cobble together.

The main issue I have is Madden being preferred to Carter Michael.

I thought Michael looked pretty good.

Placed some nice penetrating kicks to advantage, kicked a ripper goal and to my eye didn't do anything wrong.

Madden got dropped too.

We knew it was possible. The theory is that it won’t improve the side

I enjoy your posts as a rule but this absolute phobia about McStay gets a bit tiresome after a while

You missed 2021 obviously - I was in his bandwagon.

 

[luthor]

Madden got dropped too.

Madden maned as an emergency.

Michael omitted completely.

Might seem like splitting hairs but still says they prefer Madden.

 

[rye]

last week we tried out the ostensible panacea in lester, this week we try out the barometer. cant say selection arent trying to spice things up anymore

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

McStay hasn't got a kick for weeks. He may ruck a bit and I have always hoped he can fit into play much like Mat Rendell used to for the Roys.

 

[cotter101]

Matho as always, has earned his call up. Hope he gets good on ball minutes and performs as you’d just love him to have a nice long career here.

 

[Hollow Knight]

We've just blown the theory that Lyons and Mathieson can't play in the same side out of the water.

We've blown the theory that they won't get selected in the same time (albeit it requiring a perfect storm of player unavailability). Haven't proven that it will actually work though.

Personally I would have dropped Lyons.

 

[davemc_lions]

Hope Matho has a huge game 40+ and a few goals
Anyone deserve it he does

 

[martinson]

Surely Lyons is due a half decent game soon.

Can't even remember him being involved in a good passage of play let alone put in a solid quarter of play of recent times.

He must be running short of credits.

A popular call and admittedly has some merit, especially if we had more midfield depth available.

But just wondering who takes up Lyon's midfield spot?........ given that Matho is already in and J Berry and Zoko are both unavailable.

Tunstill ?, T Berry?

Someone else?

Not being facetious.

Just seems to me that the options are very limited at the present time.
