Changes for R17 Vs Lions @ CAZALY on Sunday

[Aaron]

If O'Riordan is in, perhaps Mills can play mid field a little more. And I like O'Rio's effort and deserve a chance to consolidate his place in the team.

With both Sinclair and McLean out, McCartin may have to play in the forward. At least he and Aliir may have to go forward at times.

Interested to see that McCartin is named up forward. He has been starring down back. Will he really play forward?

Good luck to Armetey on his debut!

I guess with McLean and Sinclair out it’s a balance thing, assuming they line up as per the named team. Mccartin still a much better forward than any other option we have left.

I agree though he’s been stellar down back and would prefer he got a solid run in one position ( something rarely afforded to some of our players )

McCartin was named forward the previous two weeks (and then played back).

Mills and O'Riordan played different roles back.

With McLean and Sinkers going out, and just Amartey in, someone has to move from back to forward. They could play AA in the ruck and let Amartey pinch hit or McCartin forward with Amartey as #1 ruck. Either way its likely they'll play Mills back.

Nice interview with Amartey on the official site. Laconic guy. It'll be him and Aliir, with him resting forward. Maybe he's effectively in for McLean and Mills in to take the position Aliir was selected in last week.

The ranks are thin.

Aye.

Although just noticed Oscar McInerney is rucking for Brisbane at the moment, and has been carrying that load for a while, with hitout numbers steadily dropping. Last week, against Witts, last week he had 6 possessions and hitouts (Witts had 32).

Our guys should be more agile at ground level and get around the ground more, which would be a rare advantage for us.

Looks like showers over Cairns tonight
