I must be one of the few on this forum who want us to win.

I want us to win. Playing for draft picks is a slippery slope.

And I think we can win 3 games for the balance of the season if we play at our best.

Given we have won 1 of our last 10 it is fair to say playing at our best doesn't happen all that regularly.

Roarke Smith, Kieran Collins, Lin Jong, Tory Dickson, Tom Campbell


All should be back this week.

Gowers still 1 to 2, and Tom Boyd 2 to 3 weeks out.

The Saints and Blues are winnable games and we always seem to play well against North.
Not saying it's going to happen but I will be mighty annoyed if we don't win 2 of the games.

Chris Grant didn't give the impression that Smith would definitely be back

His concussion and knee injury was news to all of us today, seeing as it was only a cut head last Friday.

Communication breakdown once again - small issue but unnecessarily tardy.

Chris addressed the WB Lounge group and mentioned Smith yesterday. He just gave the impression the accident was a bit more serious than reported. He even mentioned the lady who was involved got a more serious leg injury from it.

Of those I would only bring Jong in to try and balance the team a little. At least he should have been able to maintain reasonable fitness with a collarbone injury.

Smith sounds unlikely to be available.
Collins no because we need fewer key defenders, not more.
Dickson has been out for too long to come straight back.
Can't see Campbell replacing Roughy but wouldn't worry me either way.

Especially when you think MacRae was 6 and Bont was 4. Not sure it really matters too much if you nail the pick. The earlier I guess the less excuses.

In: English, Young

Out: Roughead, Roberts

Let's give some of our younger players a taste as we finish off the year to hopefully set an expectation for the upcoming pre-season and give them the hunger to improve. I also don't think we'll lose anything by virtue of these changes.

Kudos to HC for getting to the top level and playing close to 50 games, but can we please acknowledge that he's not quite up to it? Conditions tailor-made for him yesterday and he had 1 possession to half time. I wish him well - he has taken many hits for the jumper.

Porter in for HC - give the kid a taste

Jong in for Adams as well - selection integrity vital and Adams has simply been sub-par for over a month.

We were top-heavy yesterday irrespective of the conditions. Morris can take Gresham, Roberts to take Marshall and Naughton to go to Membrey.

I think once it comes to game time everyone wants to win and do well but at the end of the game if you don't win you can look at the positive and know your a chance for a better pick.

Of course, but I am not rooting for a loss.

The way our second halves have been going, I can't see us winning another game.

I actually reckon the Saints might put us to the sword.
