OK heres what we do this week if Doyle is out for 12 weeks

1) Bring Menklejohn onto the senior list as a long term injury replacement - we need an extra ruckman don't we
2) Schauble for Doyle
3) Sundqvist for Cresswell

For Round 3

1) Magic for Mathews
2) Fixter for Warfe

So by Round 4 we have a pretty much stable line up

I agree totaly any chance we would add Mcpherson for experience for Creswell

IMO frosty is crap, but i could see him being included this weekend and if he doesnt perform like a star then bye bye the rest of his season (injuries permitting) and a delisting or trade in store at the end of the season... this is his 10th season for crying out loud, not too much potential in him!

If Schauble is fit. I would prefer Schauble, LRT and Albett in for Cresswell, Doyle and Warfe. We seem to have too many medium-size defender in the team (Bolton, Warfe, Barry and Saddo).

The back line

Matthew Schauble LRT
Barry Saddo Bolton

soundd balance. LRT could ruck as well (he played as a ruckman in the under 18's, I think) and that is a bonus.

LRT should be played in the back pocket (against resting ruckman) or as our loose man in the defense. Whether the selection committee thinks he is ready is another issue. Also we need to find a spot for Mark Powell (soon).

actually, i like the idea of including LRT this week, ie to be worked off the bench... he could run with sandilands if and when used, there is still a huge height difference but theyre both inexperienced players, maybe we will finally see LRT in a senior game, however i highly doubt it just yet

here is the latest injury list, im quite confused as to why heath james isnt on it...

with the above, it is good to see that thewlis is now on test, i hope he gets a game (for merits sake and not injury), i really like him

Is there any chance that James may be over this injury? If so it would be good news for the backline.

no, this would not be the case... when i talked to james at the guernsey presentation he said that he would be getting back into full training by about round 2-3, and he wouldnt be tested til about round 10... so i think his absence means that he might be over the injury and back into training but he wont be ready for ages

Wishful thinking on my part
