The only slight positive is Sweet being selected on the extended bench, seemingly to put English on notice if not this week then in the coming weeks. And rightly so.
No Libba is a travesty if he's 100% right. We desperately need his competitiveness and hardness in the coalface.
To say Bailey Dale is lucky to retain his place would be an understatement. Apart from English, he was the biggest disappointment from R1.
The only positive (but maybe also an indictment on the rest of our list) You know he WILL fly the flag if the Saints try and act like tough guys. And given how we've given our best impersonations of wet lettuce leaves the past two games, we need someone to get in.
Selections are based on performance at training and simulated matches according to Bevo. We know a few players came back not in great condition as Bevo also alluded to.

I cannot see what Bevo or the MC sees in Gardner, I don't see the point.
Also cannot see how we expect to get value from Keath if he is going to be asked to play the lockdown role on the Saints forwards.
If we line up with a half back line like that I will spew - Daniel is a link forward of the centre not a rebound defender.
Gowers......one can only hope he has a blinder, but having him and Bailey Dale in the same side means that there is a distinct lack of workrate. Throw in Lloyd and you are carrying 3 receivers.
In terms of bench - if Vandermeer plays then I think it should be Cordy, Richards and Suckling with him.

That in and of itself is crushing. Given how woeful we were in Rnd 1, not to mention the GWS final, I would've hoped most saw the break as a real chance to push for a claim. I'm hoping Gardner, Gowers and Hayes have absolute blinders and show they've stepped up, not just stood out from others who have faltered.
