Charlie marks in the goal square to win us the game, who would have thought that it would be the opposition goal square?

Need to get our best side available on the park. Combination is vital

Although, I would be tempted to rest Cripps. He is so much better off a good break

Nah. They'll get a freshen up the week after. 2 byes in a row is not great preparation for an elimination final. You don't mess with good form. I'd be treating this game as a full dress rehersal.

Cripps isn’t in good form anyway, and the 2 week rest will have him coming into the finals like a wrecking ball.

HB: Newman Kemp Saad
C: Acres Docherty Hollands
HF: Cottrell McKay Walsh
F: Martin Curnow Motlop
Foll: TDK Hewett Cerra
Int: Dow Owies Fisher Silvagni (Fogarty)

Means: Pittonet Cuningham Cincotta are out which is bloody unlucky but I can't fit them all in

Cripps rested. Need him fresh for finals

PS Marchbank has been poor. I don't know if he is still getting up to speed or has lost a yard with injury but atm he is a liability. Only player I would DEFINITELY drop

Who do you drop from a winning team? In no particular order and not necessarily deservedly.

Pittonet ; Marchbank ; Cuningham ; Cincotta ; E Curnow. That leaves one.

Anyway, 4/5/6 changes to a winning team a week before the finals? What a conundrum.

i think so too. resting cripps is a must. everyone else who can, should play. the one game of the year you wouldn't want charlie to get hurt either.

Agree re Cripps. He is clearly hampered. Also, I would shrivel up inside if he, of all players, got hit in his clearly sore ribs and missed the finals!
I might be losing my mind but I’m almost getting to the point where Dow stays in ahead of Kennedy. :-O
Point of difference and has been playing well… have I lost my mind???
