Reckon they might give Martin a run through the twos first.

Anyway, time will soon tell.

Yes, Weiters back to get the defence organised and to steady us a bit. We looked shakey a few times down back last night and Larkey could certainly  cause some mayhem.
Martin would be nice too! Just hoping. I'm not expecting Walshy back just yet.

Docherty missing from the defence (even though he's been playing further upfield) means we may not have a 'general' back there while Weitering is missing.
Still you would think with the experience of Saad, Newman, Williams and McGovern someone else would be taking up that 'role'.
Anyone stand out as the 'director' in Weitering's absence?

Newman.

Out: Fantasia (omit), Young (omit)
In: Binns, Weitering

On notice : - Cunners, Hollands, Cottrell

I'd be shocked if Binns were to be selected ahead of Holland or Cottrell, both of whom have shown much more.

...and McGovern.

Could they not do that while we have the bye?

I'd have him straight in if fit. Can't be any less productive than our smaller forwards at the moment.

I think McGovern is better as a doer than a leader.  No rule saying you can't be both.  Newman does too, but I see him marshalling the troops down back.  Realistically there is usually one setting it up, and weiters is normally that one.  Newman I think performs that role well.
