It would be nice to be able to keep some consistency in our team selections each week but it seems that we are likely required to make at least two changes if the rumours about Reid and Melican are right.

Re: Reid - it is a real shame that he is injured. He helps our structure significantly. There is no real obvious like for like replacement so I think we just pick our next best player. If Jones is fit, it will be him, if not it should be Newman.

Re: Melican - For me, I think Aliir must be given first shot. It would've been nice for him to have another week in the twos but sometimes you can't have everything. Marsh is also a chance.

I don't think anyone else should be dropped.
