Can we put 4 midfielders in the centre square, ruck no-one and let Goldstein jump on his own. Then he'd have to tap it to and outnumbered centre square brigade.

Joking of course but wonder if anyone has thought of that before.

I hope he is ...we want to meet them a their best. More learning.

I've already learned that he is the best ruckman in the game, so I'm all for them resting big Goldy so he can be right for North's tough draw ahead.

Giving the likely ruck combos that we can arrange, Goldy playing against such a make shift set up would probably constitute a week off anyway.

Wood in for Kreuzer, Gorringe in for Casboult (and as 2nd ruck), Rowe back to CHB.

As good a job as Rowe did as a relief forward and ruck, there is no way I would plan to start him in either of those positions, especially with North's tall forward line to contend with.

Here is a chance for some of our depth players to step up. If they don't or can't there may not be a spot for them on our list at the end of the year...

Don't worry about North's tall forwards, let them worry about our strengths. If they're tall you can run off them, which is what we can do. Plenty we can play in defence...Jammo, Jakch, White, Plowman, and that's only if Weitering isn't ready. So no great problem.  Prefer Rowe replacing Casboult.

Ouch! That defence looks a little shakey GTC. Could we rob the ruck to shore it up a bit?  ;)

Put Rowe back there and play Wood/Gorringe? Probably. Gonna be tough at the selection table no matter how you look at it. I guess if Weiters is ready, he comes straight in.

Yep, selection will be interesting alright and I'm awaiting with anticipation. Hopefully Weiters will indeed be back which will make life a bit better. I think Rowe will probably have to spend some time rucking but I don't like the idea of him as 1st ruck.
