Well ... I don't see how current form can justify those changes. I accept Warnock as an injury. Houlihan needs
more game time and as I said earlier I'm hearing mixed reports about Henderson. Focussing on O'Keefe and Touhy
are you thinking that players like that our 'future' and need to be blooded asap?

If so then my comment is that playing youngsters ahead of their time is a tricky business. Generally
speaking I prefer to pick the best 22 and make the youngsters earn their spot. There are exceptions -
such as when a prodigous talent comes along, (I don't think anyone would argue that it was a mistake
putting Shane Warne in the test team before he'd taken a five-for in grade cricket). Do you think any
of the changes you listed fall into that category though?

And don't forget that some "average" players continue to improve. Russel and more recently Scotland
are great examples of that. I'm a huge wrap for Scotland now, but only a few years ago I would've said
he's a list clogger.

FFS!

Really undecided if I want to go tomorrow night or not.....

Not a huge fan of Friday nights. Would be the first one live I miss this year so don't want to break the streak

Im kinda starting to feel sorry for Dean Bailey with all these injuries one after the other....

My spies tell me who were at the ground that Judd was training this morning no issues there, no sign of warnock which would mean he is out, curnow was back training also which is good to hear.

Do your spies know how to do a training report?

Nah, he is too old for that kinda of stuff, he only tells me the main things like guys who are 50/50 etc and guys coming back from injury.

Some info is always better than no info .

Though I heard something about judd missing this week on sen.......just caught the tail end of it, I might be wrong....

Hey Psycho, you need some help mate .

I agree with McLean, but you're way off the mark with the rest. Henderson has not shown any improvement in the 2s. He shouldn't get a game until he is absolutely cherry ripe.

As it seems we can't fight City Hall, I've decided to call this the 'opposition beating blue' guernsey.
The more we win, the more I'm gonna like it.
