Sadly, my sources have both Simpson and Kreuzer out for 4 weeks. Not too upset about Simmo, but the big fella is shot even after this latest setback I'm afraid.
Have to go back to Phillips I guess as the direct swap and I'm hoping Williamson for Simmo. If Charlie is back I'd look at dropping Obrien. Maybe Stocker in as the wildcard for Ed?
We loose this one and Bolton will be just about cooked.

Sounds like an abductor injury for Kreuzer which would definitely rule him out. If Charlie gets up, could we look at rucking Casboult with Harry as backup instead of bringing Lobbe or Phillips in?

Stocker, Williamson and Kennedy in for mine with Simpson/Newman out if injured and probably O'Brien as well? Plowman probably only saved if Simpson and Newman are both outs. His form on the weekend was diabolical....got lots of the ball but turned it over way too often for an experienced bloke.
Thats gonna hurt our chances of winning...alot! :( Tractor was instrumental in that first half. None of our other ruckman come close.

I think Fisher and SPS can well look after themselves - LOB, Dow and Walsh different stories....

Setterfield should come straight back in - he's a big unit!

Ziebell and Cunnington are not fast, it might be the perfect game for the bigger bodied SoJ to get a run in the middle.

I agree about Setterfield, if he's fit he is in, Fisher, sMurph and SPS should be working outside and leaving Ziebell and Cunnington chasing them!

What about Higgins?

Amos said on SEN he's a fair chance to play....(but we've heard that before)
Finals, then 4 in a row!

You can play with an abductor if you can run in straight lines and not jump or change direction, Fevola no problem, but it's hard to see a ruckmen like Kreuzer playing with an abductor strain!

Yep its not often we will be playing a team where we are clear cut favorites and expected to win and probably win well, I think those changes are on the money.
Its just a real pity about Kreuzer and I cant see him playing, Goldstein isnt the player he was and a break even performance from Philips and Casboult is all we need IMO.
I cant see us losing based on form and logic, North are terrible, Brad Scott is under the pump and in more strife than Bolton IMO.
