crap guys.
Saw a stat on BF that we are 1600 games v 3200 games.
11 guys with less than 50 games v 3.
Can't play every kid, it would be a slaughter that would do nothing for development, the fans or our future. It's also Murphs 200th game.
I'm sure JK will play shortly as will some others, but we are down to a skeleton crew of experience so they have to play.
Yes, there must be a fine line between giving young blokes experience against the better teams and scarring them for life.
We're pretty close to our best available team but I would have Wood, Jaksch and Fields in for Jones, Tutt and Boekhorst. I am prepared to concede that Fields needs a break and it would be too much to play him against the Hawks.
