Select the Tiger team for the opening round

[hopper]

I've not been one of the raving anti-Krak squad but I can't really find a place for him at the moment.

My team, for what it's worth
Raines Gaspar Kellaway
J.Bowden *smile* Newman
Deledio Coughlan Tivendale
Pettifer Richo Rodan
Tambling P.Bowden Brown
Simmonds Johnson Tuck
Foley Hyde Pattison Hartigan

Key considerations might include:
* Simmo will need to play most of the game in the ruck. But a revised role where he plays mainly middle and back half would be needed for him to get through. Patto, Richo and Paddy would need to handle the big man stuff in the forward line.
* Is Thursfield available and/or ready? Could be a surprise inclusion?
* TW might like to punt on a new face - in which case Hughes might get a game at Patto's (who ain't exactly old hat) expense. Can see Jackson and/or Krak potentially getting a gig also, perhaps at the expense of Foley and/or Hartigan. Not my preference though.
* Meyer would be my dark horse to pinch a game.
* Paddy Bowden would be my dark horse to miss a game.

Well i know that Hall, Knobel and big Staff wont be playing.. ALong with JON, Casserley and Thursfield.

But they have some key injuries too. Montgomery will play VFL, minson is in doubt and we know about walsh, darcy and the other tall.

with no knobel hall and thursfield all three of these would be in my team if available and no stafford. under normal circumstances thursfield would play bp in kellaways place, knobel would be the second ruckman starting on the bench and hall would play chb enabling schulz to play ff. any way this is my team.
b; newman gaspar kellawat.
hb; deledio schulz j bowden
c johnson coughlan hyde
hf: brown richardson meyer
f: hughes p bowden tambling
foll simmonds tuck rodan
int: pattison foley hartigan raines.
all of foley hartigan raines tambling newman and deledio and maybe even meyer should expect stints in the midfield or onball.
