I think durability will become more of a focus for recruiters and list managers.
The demands on players from the coaches obviously requires a greater degree of durability to get through a season successfully.
You can have a great deal of talent but what good is it if you can't get on the park.
We have a few talented players with questionable durability unfortunately.

FFS Stop the whole team instead of one player.

I hate when we get all defensive and say we have to stop certain players.

We should play our own game, and let them chase us.

This always blows up in our face when we have this mindset.

Waterlogged.

bit of a knee jerk. I think going in any match, you'd be negligent in your match day planning not to be aware of and have a plan to quell some of the opposition strengths.

How come they always use the most unflattering photos of Ratts they can find?

Here's the SEN version.

Hopefully Grigg gets another run at it, dito Hampson

IF Bower stays in, then it would appear the unlucky drop-ee would be Yarran or Robinson.

Doubt they will drop Hampson or Grigg - will probably give them another shot & the benefit of a week to adjust to the level.
Doubt it will be Armfield b/c we will need his dash and attack. And I would be surprised if they brought in Wiggins.
Which effectively boils it down to Yarran v Robinson.

(If Lucas comes in as too, well then Armfield might be in a bit of trouble.)

I don't think Lake wil be as big a problem as he was against the Hawks (which they lost anyway!) simply because if he takes out one of Setanta or Henderson, it doesn't affect us as much as taking out Buddy.
I am more worried about a rebounding Cooney, Griffen, Murphy, Boyd & Cross.

Maybe Grigg will be given a run with role?
Houlihan for Murphy?
Boyd will probably go to Judd.
Cooney & Gibbs - could be good. or perhaps on Griffen?
AJ on Johnson, if he plays.
