    Hayward Jones Kennedy for McCartin McVeigh Thurlow

    No clear replacement for Thurlow in defence. Jones, Dawson, Florent, or Clarke the possibilities.

    Gee you're quick Ugg. Maybe we can add you into our midfield mix? Good changes imo.

    The 'in's' make sense , even if I wouldn't have minded Hayward returning via the two's and I don't mind those 'outs'.....Tom has been quietish of late and to fit three in, Thurlow had to go. Had the match not been after a bye, COR would have been rested after the head knock. Thurlow out now makes sense.

    Thurlow is stiff. He was going alright until he was poleaxed.

    Happy with chages, especially retaining COR and Rose

    I'm a little bit surprised by McCartin going out, but maybe it's a weather thing. With the ground likely to be slippery, a medium sized forward, should be more effective than a tall.

    Jones and Will are in our best 22 so if they are fit and firing, then get them in. JPK is a given. So all up, happy with the changes, although it would've been a bee's dick between COR and Thurlow and McCartain and Menzel.

    I thought they changed from three emergencies to four so everyone could name a spare ruckman? Who will ruck from these guys:

    EMERGENCIES
    30 Tom McCartin
    6 Jackson Thurlow
    8 James Rowbottom
    25 Ben Ronke
    The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.

    Surely Clarke has to tag O'Meara doesn't he?

    He's looking like being a great pick up for us. Many supporters wanted his and Thurlows heads up until a few weeks ago and whilst Thurlow is struggling, Clarkes results as a shutdown tagger have been excellent. I just hope he can improve his disposal so that he can become a good in and under midfielder as well rather than a one trick pony.

    I see Jones as being the Thurlow replacement. He might be lacking match fitness and touch to go straight into the midfield.

    O'Meara doesn't cope with a tagger but Henderson surprisingly has been their best mid of late.

    Always pays to watch a replay of our games so you don't have to worry about the result but can concentrate on what individuals actually did, and rewind to double check. I thought clarke was a bust but give him credit, he has done some very good tagging jobs of late, best 22 currently as you need a tagger. Rose was quite good last game under very tough fatigue conditions, pleased he stayed in.
