It's great that you found some time by the pool Matty to file your team - I may not be in a tropical paradise at the moment, but I had to shoo away my Swedish masseuse to get my team in.
Ok, my thinking is that The Chadwicker is going to be forward a bit more with Jethro Dixon pinch-hitting in the ruck with Paddy down. Tim Kelly's been racking up a few digits in the midfield with the Catties so it's a like for like swap.
The big problem is in defence - those numbers are crucial to a win in the Duffle. So, is TALIA up to it with a cracked shin? I can't see it - tackles are a bonus, but the real numbers come from marks. Do I go with Grandpa Shaw playing for a contract renewal or Tom Lynch? Lynch won't get any forward points with Mitch McGovern coming back in, but Tex is out so who knows. Shaw always wants the ball so he gets the nod - hopefully a dry weather game for Penrith.
Everyone else gets to hold their spot, too easy.

Ooops, sorry Matty - got a round of polo coming up and I've got to checkout the weekend fox hunt in the Royal forest arrangements before that. Gotta run ol' chappy - all the best this weekend.
Good luck everyone, special wishes to whomever is up against my mate Slammey.
