Depending on injuries, I think we will run out with the following:
B: SPS Weitering Plowman
HB: Saad Jones Docherty
C: Setterfield Cripps Curnow
HF: Fisher McDonald Martin
F: Murphy McKay Silvagni
R: Pittonet Walsh Dow
I/C: Williamson Cuningham Newnes Fogarty
Emg: Gibbons Kennedy Betts O'Brien
Inj: TDK McGovern Marchbank Newman Curnow.C  Casboult Williams (Susp)
There are seven players not available that I would consider for our best 22 but I think we have plenty of players to put a good team out on the ground.

Who gets Dusty?, dont want him matched up on Cripps after the stoppage and both playing wide of each other, thats just way too dangerous. Reckon Ed will get Cotchin....Edwards is another I would want manned up tighter than in previous games.

I’d play Fisher on Dusty, he’s perfected grabbing Dusty’s fend off arm  :)

Williamson would be my preferred option when Dusty plays forward.

Plowman did remarkably well on him last year, and he would be the one to get first crack IMHO particularly when he goes forward.

Someone will need to come across and help as he is too strong one on one (being the umps darling doesnt help defenders either).

I pray its not SPS as Edwards would tear him a new one.

Based on what I have seen:
FB Willo Weiters Plow
HB Doc Jones Saad
C Dow Cripp Setters
HF SOS Levi Martin
FF Murph H  Fish
R Pitto Walsh Ed
INT Fog Cunners  OMac Newnes
Emerg Stock SPS Eddie Kennedy
Concerns around Weiters, H obviously.

If take out cunners and pit gibbons in.

Disagree with the others, omac plays even of Levi does.
Why?
With question marks over Levi, Harry and weitering....
do I need to continue that sentence??  ;)

I'd have Gibbons in, reliable and wont do anything stupid or be asleep for a quarter like Cuningham...the latters best is great but we wont see it for another 6 weeks.
I'd agree on McDonald, we have those three you mentioned sore or returning from injury and if Weitering or Harry goes down we are fecked for the game and the Tigers wont be holding back testing them out either.

The latest club injury list is not looking so hot for Rnd 1, a lot of KPPs have a line put through their name for the season opener.

I realise my assessment contradicts the club's statement, but if they are on that list at this time of the year I reserve the the right to be sceptical.

A lot can change in a week but with Brackets a non-starter and H a ? it could be that OMac will get a tall forward gig against the Tiggers.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

We have a reasonably long injury list but I recall when The Terrier was at the Dawks they often took the longer view and built into their seasons a little slow than others. It wasn't unusual for the Dawks to drop an unexpected game or two early in the season, even when they were strong finalists. I like it that we've gone hard with training, exposed any weaknesses, then addressed those with careful, even conservative, approaches. The proof of the pudding will be in the eating. My expectations for R1 against the Tiggers are not high.

In the martial art my kids learn,  if a bloke does a fend/push like Dusty does,  he'd be lying on his front in a flash... Essentially pulled down forwards by the arm.   That would then be holding the ball wouldn't it?
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I reckon Fisher got him twice, once was doing just that.....from memory.
