It's a real shame about the predicted Sydney weather. Firstly, I am just jack of it raining. Secondly, I think it reduces our competitive edge over the still very good Cats. I do wonder if it may play a part at selection too.

With this in mind, my predicted changes for this week are:

Ins: Warner, Lloyd
Outs: Sheldrick, McDonald

Fox also to replace COR as emergency.

I want McDonald to play a lot this year but if it is wet, it may be better to go a little smaller. I personally would drop Wicks over Sheldrick based on the performances from last week but I think Wicks will get the nod. As much as it really pains me to say it, I also think JPK is under real pressure to hold his spot if he is retained in his half-back role.
