Team when fully fit!

[Nicola Tesla]

What are we thinking is the team at full strength at this stage of the year.
im still in two minds about Watson and think the coach is not sure either.
i personally like the idea of Evans ahead of Watson.
Starting Liu as I like SST off the bench.
We need Mitchell closer to Keary.

I think Robbo might go with Cornish at half back?

[rented tracksuit]

I have faith in them no matter who they put out there or where they start.

I'd probably stick with Connor, but it's close. Kane has played really well the last two games, but he should probably make way for Tets.
Connor can provide a spark and is a good option if one of our spine is injured.

[Mickie Lane]

I would keep Watson on the bench with SST & Tetevano so it comes down to Evans & Matto for the last spot..

[zac]

No one charged from the judiciary last night, so it appears that Toops would be the only one in possible doubt for the PF.

Matto over Evans in a heartbeat. Much more versatility and has played far better than Evans all season. Matterson deserves a spot in our 17 each and every week.

[HBK]

definitely have Mr Watson on the bench. He can play the Mortimer role and he can spark something if we need it. Tauks and Zane on the bench provides enough go forward. I'd probably go for Evans for the remaining spot

14. Matto
15. Zane
16. SST
17. Connor

Stick with what is working i think. Connor has been good the last fortnight. Zane has now gone past Evans as our bench prop imo.

I was concerned when we signed him but he seems to have turned it around which is really great

[Darkone]

Tet has been great since his first game for us

Matto
SST
Watson

makes the bench
Toops to recover & we good to go against Sharks

Yep. That's out bench at full strength and the starting line up speaks for itself.

To be honest a couple of months ago I would have said "Ice" Liu to the bench and SST to start at lock. Glad that Robbo knows better than me!!!!

Liu as been awesome starting and SST is dynamite coming off the bench when the props need a break

[Jacks Fur Coat]

What position was Connor playing on Friday when he came on? Maybe it doesn't matter so much these days...moreso what "role"..

That's what I was thinking also. Hence my uncertainty about wether I'd use him or Evans.
Id also factor in the weather and ground conditions ( dew even) with Watson suited more to a firm fast pitch perhaps.

[Tommy Smith]

Watson is an absolute must because he covers the 1, 6, 7 & 9 in case of injury or HIA.

Just think back to the Tigers away game where Friend copped a HIA in the first couple of minutes.

If that happens in a Prelim or GF and we don't have Connor on the bench we're in strife. Aubo can cover the spot but nowhere near as well.

And factor in that Watson can be a real x-factor in that roving ruck role when we need something and he's a lock for that no.17 jersey.
