Good to see Schache back as Bruce who replaced him is yet to impress. Wood’s experience makes the team look stronger whilst Jong’s competitive spirit and determination is also a good inclusion.
North will provide much tougher opposition than Sydney and always play well against us.
Expect another close encounter.
Personally, I think we set the performance/expectations bar quite low for Jongy and he gets a fair bit of love for having a crack.
Can't fault his effort, and whilst we certainly have enough youth in the side - Jong is 27 years of age and has eeked out 60 odd games and never really been embedded in the senior team.
My preference would have been a specialist forward to come in so that we can have one less mid rotating forward - because we just aren't getting bang for buck when mids go forward.

I like those inclusions. Hopefully Schache will have an immediate affect in that forward line.
