We need defenders down back

Ramps and Francis out, Hamling has to play, not sure who else is available

[KSAS]

Hope there is no surprise outs due to training injury or last minute illness!

Assuming Armatey pasts test:

IN: Armatey, McCartin, Bice
OUT: McLean, Francis, Rampe.
Sub: Lloyd.
Give Florent a chance with full game even though he was fumbily when he came on last Fridsy.
Buller did enough to retain his spot and give him chance to show his wares. Can also play 2nd Ruck role.

Hope Amartey is fit as we need him up front- but then kick straight for goodness sake! Feel for Pistol Pete if he can’t get in after his game last week but Buller has to play. Agree on Ollie and Lloyd as sub but would prefer bringing Ladhams in instead of him as he’s better value atm.

[Thunder Shaker]

Fremantle have two good rucks. We should have two rucks as well, as part-time rucks won't be good enough to compete.

In: Amartey, McCartin, Ladhams
Out: Francis, McLean, Rampe

[Roadrunner]

I’d prefer Bice over Lloydy. Interesting to see how our selectors decide here. McCartin an obvious in and Amartey also if he has recovered. Shame we lose Ramps and Francis though.

[UUaswan]

Voss, Treacey, Amiss, Jackson resting Fwd

We need Hamling if we lose Francis, Rampe and only gain Tom Mc

Agree.

[BFG]

So McLean is in the 18, Ladhams not in. Against two genuinely good ruckmen - I give up

Yes that could be a problem. But I am not sure Hayden will play yet. He has been proppy for some weeks.

[UUaswan]

We need Ladhams and Hamling in for their talls

Add Rowy and Sheldrick, leaves Ollie or Roberts sub.
Would play both of them over Lloyd

So Buller is out you reckon?

[UUaswan]

Yep, unless Mclean is injured

[lwjoyner]

hamling and francis not in our future. LLoyd is questionable. Ollie by far the better here. we need to groom players we are not sure abou incl Buller, snell and edwardes if he ever gets fit

Agree but we need tall defenders more than anything, we have 2 Tom and Lewis, if we had another, Tom could zone off more. Blakey can't be wasted on a tall.

Ramps has to go end of this year, look at Fyfe for going a year to long, we won't get 10 games out of Ramps next year.

Hopefully Riak is a defender, the other 2 have been spoken about for 12 months.

We could look at Jake Lever, he seemed out of favour.
