Stewart , Pritchard , Neil , Doyle , Winchester , Cirkin all definitely there. Add Patterson to that and we only need 4 more first teamers to be there…
Apparently it's only Alves, Hoffmann, Burge and Dajaku out with covid I reckon it will be: Patterson Wright Flanagan Doyle Cirkin Evans Neil Gooch Pritchard Embleton Stewart Subs: Carney, D.Hume, Xhemajli, Winchester, T.Hume, Kimpioka, Diamond
Good strong team that. Bailey Wright missing but Winchester back in. Bench doesn’t have a lot but the starting 11 justify the match starting in my opinion.
Absolutely right to play this game with that squad. Spot on decision. Squad so strong that Trai Hume, O’Brien and Benji don’t even make it (assuming they don’t have covid - I know O’Brien did)
So, Hoffmann, Burge, Wright, Dajaku, Alves, O'Brien and possibly Kimpioka are the ones riddled with a runny nose?
Okay, happy with that side... Winchester RB, Cirkin LB.. Rest as is, Gooch may play left or right wing... A system of 4 2 3 1?
