Can't believe I'm saying this but I like some of the thinking here. If we are going to get flogged, it might as well be with some futures focus in mind.
All being available this week, my selections would be
In - Thursfield, Hall, Hartigan, Meyer, Hughes.
Out - Tivendale, Krakouer, Kellaway, Pattison, Hyde.
I'm happy to stand by Pettifer. I think the boy can play and I'm not changing my mind because someone else thinks it's amazingly brave to use his name to insult him.
My team :
B Thursfield Gaspar Raines
HB Newman *smile* J.Bowden
C Johnson Coughlan Tambling
HF Pettifer Hall Deledio
F Brown Richo P.Bowden
R Simmonds Tuck Rodan
Int Meyer Hartigan Foley Hughes
Just feel this gives something of a balance between kneejerk reaction and genuine accountability.
Also does something about our glaring pace deficiencies.
Pick it apart!
