    This is where liz jumps in and points out some obvious footballers that I have missed.
    Weitering?

    Lets not worry about McKernan. Useless as tits on a bull.

    Yeah sorry about that. I knew it was Redman but typed the wrong name.

    Unless we're in for something sneaky that does seem a little risky, then.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    Maybe, but given Ted was out, you'd think maybe not. If anything, precautionary.

    If it's a choice between Smith and Allir, then the correct decision was made.

    Is there a parallel universe where Nick Smith would come back through the 2s after a week out rather than being an automatic selection?

    I'm glad Jones has kept his spot.

    I love his intent to attack, and the more games he gets under his belt, the better his decision making etc will become.

    Why?
    He's match fit and in the right mindset.
    Coming back through the 2's should be automatic for a player coming back after a longer term of 5 or 6 weeks or more.
    Also depends on the injury to a degree.
