Yep...I think we gotta do something 'mad' this week.
It starts with getting Hodor to plonk someone in the first ruck contest. Make it Vardy....put him on his arse and take him out of the game from the start. Bugger it if hes a good bloke....
Cerra must be midfield, and be given a license to create.
Walters, Hill, and Mundy, to also be in the guts and at their unrestricted best, running off and playing on at every occasion. Corridor only....hit a big bloke running towards you.
Get Banfield to man Gaff, and he must not be allowed to breathe air for the day, let alone find space. 'Crowley / Dirty Josh Carr' style magnified by 5.
Personally, i'd give Brayshaw a spell....but that wont happen, but if Roly really wants a tackling defensive half forward, well.... maybe thats what Brayshaw can do for the day.
Someone HAS to tag McGovern. Just dont give him space to do whatever he likes. Need someone with bulk to do this job...and well i cant think of anyone other than Hogan ? - he seems a bit below par, maybe he can 'do this job'. Maybe he can be drawn to the ball by Mcgovern , and maybe he can make the bloke accountable occasionally....
North and Sturt play. At least 1 of them. If one of them has pace, or X factor, put him in. Give 'em a go.Maybe they'll pop up and surprise us.?
Im not sure who goes out. Fyfe shouldnt play in, my view, even if he reckons hes right. Dont risk it.!
Thought Duman showed enough to keep his place. I also think - in difference to others on DL - that Hughes has been going Ok. Im not sure Brayshaw and , maybe Tucker and Banfield, are.
In short, we need a bit of "Neesham outlook" this week...throw caution to the wind and "have a go!".
But, instead, we 'll get the decrepid RoLyball fustercluck and just cross our fingers....
