Trent H --- Perrie --- Thommo

Reilly --- Goodwin --- Doughty

Macca --- Bock/Stevens ---Torney

Stiffy --- Rutten --- Bassett


1R Clarke, Mattner, Edwards

Inter: Biglands, VB, Knights, Shirley.

I'm not sure who plays CHB out of Bock or Stevens. Stevens doesn't deserved to be dropped because of one bad game.

Nice work SC.

I am in the leave Hudson out till next year camp , but I recognise I am in the minority

I think this weeks game against Port will see who is and who isnt going to play Finas ie Douglas and Hudson . I see you brought in Knights instead of Porplyzia...is that more forward set up? And no KMac?

I will go more a squad of 26 and let others match them up (Edit: forgot Massie )

Hart, Porp, McGregor and Massie are in my 26. I brought Knights in because he adds that bit of extra midfield depth that we so deperately need. After seeing him play for WWT in last years finals series, he doesn't freeze on the big stage. I thought he was the standout player for WWT in last years finals series.

I left Kenny out becuase I believe he has been underdone for most of the year and now it has caught up with him. I left Massie and Porp out becuase of their lack of leg speed and neither are genuine midfield options, although I have feeling Porp will be in 2007. I hated leaving Benny Hart out becuase his finals experience would be valuable. However, his form of late has been down and he would be getting a game on reputation.

Cover for KPP's in the event of injury:

McGregor.

Cover for small to medium in the event of injury ( in order):

Hart,
Massie,
Porp.

[Out: Scott Stevens, Michael Doughty

No offence but thats BS

Doughty has at least been consistent and SS has stood up and done his job when we expected him to crack.

Then I guess it would be Nathan Van Berlo who may drop out for the finals if it’s not Michael Doughty. They will look at bringing in experienced defender for the finals and there is NO WAY that Ben Hart will get dropped.

Jason Torney will more than likely find his way into the side for the final and that only leaves Nathan Van Berlo (who has more upside to the side than Doughty) who could come out.

 

[raikkonen]

My 26 would be:

Massie, Clarke, Thommo, VB, Hound, Edwards, Bodey, Doughty, Shirley, Huddo, Torney, McGregor, Welsh, Stiffy, Sarge, Macca, Truck, Stevens, Roo, Reilly, Hart, Biglands, Goodwin, Hentschel, Mattner, Bock. Would like to see Hudson into the ruck with Clarke, and Biglands play across half foward line.

Come on guys finals is the least of our problems at the moment

Big improvement no huge improvement needed or finals is just straight sets.

.

A run in the Roosters will do him good he will get 30 plus touches and get the fel of the ball again in a slower paced game.

i agree with you on Doughty but Stevens has been serviceable at best this year, helping out with KPP out with injury. IMO, he will NOT help win finals.

Anybody think Shirley is a walk up start? Or is he expendable?
