If Derickx is injured as reported, Nankervis is the last ruckman standing, and he will be up against freaks like Sandilands and NicNat. Talk about an initiation!
Just had a go at picking the side and this would have been the perfect opportunity to play Marsh if he's up to it (assuming Laidler is not fit). If they don't I would guess he is gone.
If they avoid playing Xav the same would apply. I can't see them leaving Davis out of the side given his form and versatility.
Even with the injuries and suspensions I find that I have to leave out one of Towers, BJ, Robinson or Lloyd if Marsh plays. If Marsh doesn't play the others all play. This should be Towers last chance to prove himself, the big ground should suit him and his ability to ruck may be needed.
