After the win on Thursday, it will justify that we go in with NO CHANGES. However, with the very short breaks to rest and recover as well as our wish to see some untried kids to help our list management, there is good reason to have a couple of changes.
1. Callum Sinclair will need to be assessed after he "wrenched" his knee in the dying stages. Does he need a rest? Should we manage him? If so, can we bring in Amartey ( or Knoll?) (BTW I don't like the suggestion to recruit Callum Coleman-Jones. We are not that desperate!) Another option is sending Aliir to ruck again and bring in Brand.
2. Callum Mills withdrew late with a minor calf strain. Will he come straight back so soon? IF he comes back, I hope he should go to Cripps and play mainly as a mid. I like the performance of McLean in the forward. So, perhaps Florent will be the "out" and be managed and rested after a few weeks of relatively quiet performance.
3. Will Gould finally get a chance to see if he has improved enough to get a place at AFL level? Not sure if there has been any practice match at Cairns, so don't know how he can justify his elevation from "Emergency" to the 22.
