Being named an emergency is sometimes a bit like a 'participation certificate'. :D
It's a reward for effort and it sends the message that "you're not too far away"
If we have to make a late change it's a pretty fair bet it won't be O'Keefe coming in....most likely it will be Cincotta, if he's fit.

O’Keeffe may have been named because Pitto or De Koning has a niggle.

Cincotta was “managed” last round but the Magoos are playing on Sunday and he won’t miss two games if he is the emergency.

The sub may get to back up on Sunday too.

Surely O'Keffe can't be an emergency.  Three rucks ? what drugs are the MC on?

Our line-up:

Backs:  Lachie Cowan  Jacob Weitering  Brodie Kemp
Half-backs:  Zac Williams  Lewis Young  Nic Newman
Centreline:  Ollie Hollands  Patrick Cripps  Blake Acres
Half-forwards:  Matthew Cottrell  Tom De Koning  Elijah Hollands
Forwards:  Charlie Curnow  Harry McKay  Matthew Owies
Followers:  Marc Pittonet  Sam Walsh  George Hewett
Interchange:  Jordan Boyd  Jack Carroll  Corey Durdin  Orazio Fantasia  Matthew Kennedy

Emergencies:  Jaxon Binns  Alex Cincotta  Hudson O'Keeffe

In: Lachie Cowan, Lewis Young
Out: Adam Saad (hamstring), Mitch McGovern (hamstring)

[1] I can live with 2 rucks. Tom struggled against Briggs last year. Pitto shouldn't.
[2] How did Cincotta miss out? He has to add more than Fantasia and Corey Durdin. And he has shown he can play in the middle: I'd be trying something different there.
[3] Our midfield has been smashed this year. Can we change it somehow?
[4] Ollie Hollands?

I looks at this side and I am uninspired. I guess Cowan is playing well enough, but Cincotta was excellent in his only showing.
