Going on the fact that Danny said we would experiment a little rather than go full out to win. I say we give the kids and recruits a go aswell as try different players in different positions..... that in mind here are my teams for the opening 2 Wiz Cup games.....

Obviously these line-ups could be fiddled with here and there to get a better balance, and would also be dependent on match ups on the day etc.... But I think we should give the recruits and the kids a chance to show us what they have in an environment where it doesnt mean much if you lose, even though winning would be ideal I say play the newbies and some that need to prove themselves this year or may face unemployment next year........
I have left Dragga out of both sides as he doesnt really need to play in these mickey mouse games like some of you guys posted id rather see him get form and confidence back with coburg, also gives him that bit extra time.
At the moment I know of no other injuries but if Nichols is injury prone Id suggest we rest him from this also. And it wont hurt the more senior guys to miss a game and watch from the stands and advise the younger kids what they are doing well etc....
Really havent thought past games 1 and 2 except that maybe a combination of the above depending on who had played well in a certain position or if we had more experimenting to do. I dont really care if we win or lose Wiz cup games just as long as we dont get thumped, and some of the new kids and recruits show some promise.
and fingers crossed no major injuries for once! 8)
