Be handy if we could get Motlop and Saad back this week.
In Saad Motlop Cowan Binns Wilson
Out Williams Durdin Fantasia Marchbank O Hollands
Chuck Binns on Ollie's wing, Wilson the sub
Obviously if Weiters doesnt get up, bring Young in for him.
Those ins could not possibly do any worse than what those I would drop dished up.

Jack Silvagni and Vossy both hinted that we might get two players back this week  ... and we should know whether Weiters will come up by Tuesday. 

I'd be leaving Williams in the 22 purely on the strength of that tackle  :)

I didn't see anyone getting too worked up about the USA marching into Iraq to overthrow Saddam Hussein.

Those are the "good guys" invading.  In war there are no good guys. Only victims.

There's the good old brand of freedom being dished out by the USA that no one cares about.  Until they do.  Ukraine or Russia makes no difference.   There is no what next. There is no slippery slope.  All there is is the next war for the next Territory or resource which will continue for eternity whilst people walk the earth.

Ukraine should have minimal impact by regime change in the states and has nothing to do with the price of fish because that war or proxy war lives and dies by NATO.  The end.
re: Saddam,The supposed good guys were looking after their Oil, the USA only get involved where there is a dollar to be made or saved. As Prof suggested Ukraine might be in trouble if Trump gets in and Id be worried if I was living in Taiwan too...

Without being overly dramatic...Folks probably said the same thing about Czechoslovakia and Poland in the late 1930s.
Once Ukraine is 'annexed' where to next for a Russian president who seems intent on 'returning' Russian borders to something resembling the USSR

There is a pretty good reason why we should be concerned.
There's a good reason why the American response is important...because there may come a time when we need to be concerned about the strength of our own relationship with the USA.
