Your team v Roosters

Danny 'Bedsy' Buderus
Coach in presser says we get Daniel, Sione and Edrick back.
Crossland failed HIA, so I expect he'll be rested again.
No word on Guerra who went off early today - although that could be because we could finally give him a well earned rest.

I've been real happy with Toa. Even the try he let in today, the call was great, just didn't make enough contact with it unfortunately.
 
I also wouldn't risk Sione unless we're a shot at the 4. Give him the break & give him the run in the final 2 games.

I think it’s tough on young Toa to drop him for Lee. But if Lee is 100% fit then he needs to be in the starting 13. Sione on the bench, again, only if 100% fit. Dan has been on the edges for a few weeks now so bring him in. Otherwise same team barring Crosslands HIA.

We could put Hunt in the centres and drop Shiba so we could play both Lee and Toa (Toa plays either side), but I thought Shiba was again outstanding in defence and deserves his spot just for that.

Barely even noticed that Dugan was playing, Shibs was that good covering him.

Give Sione another week.
 
We really need to know why Guerra only played 29 minutes.
Also, Barny is looking pretty beat up. Maybe we could give him a rest.
 
Interesting that Joey has named his SOO side and dropped Klemm and has DSaf as starting prop as the only Knight.
 
Our attack has been so disjointed for most of the year, what is peoples obsession with resting people, pick the best side available unless someone can't play
 
Not sure I want any of the three coming back to start, leave back 5 as is unless injury, won’t hurt for Lee to be on injury standby. Dan can come back on bench, too good to leave out when fit. Sione is bench but might start if Guerra is out. Barnett could do with a rest so Ese’ese to 13 and Dan takes his bench spot. Crossland out, HIA, so Randall in. So same side with Guerra and Barnett doubtful, Ese’ese and Sione/Jones covering, bench 14 Randall, 15 Dan, 16 Sione/Jones, 17 King, then
18 Lee, 19 Sione/Jones, 20 Moimosa, 21 Hoy
 
I wouldn't move hunt. He's the better winger of the three, the only downside to him is he hasn't played the left side like the other two.

King was good tonight but he doesn't get a run in front of Herman.

We might be half a threat with players coming back.

In the same context Herman is gone next year would be one hell of a final job interview for King to see if he can match it against the Roosters. Wouldn't hurt to give Ese a week off either.
