Changes for Round 4

I have a feeling it will just be the 2 changes. Reiwoldt in for Grimes and Prestia in for maybe Ross. I just can't see us bringing in 2 talls Reiwoldt and Miller for 1 tall giving us with even less run than last week.

I can't see how the 3 tall forwards will work. I think it would suck but it feels like Balta will be moved back again.

Oh, probably Aarts out as sub.

I think it'll go like this; Grimes and Soldo out for Miller and Jack
They will play a 3 tall forward line, but Balta will rotate in the ruck, then Nank either plants himself at FF or to the bench, thus leaving a 2 tall forward line Jack and Lynch
 
Dion is in. Mmm. Aarts out.
Jack is in. Logically that would be for the ACL man Ivvy. But, if Ivvy is out there goes our cheap CB Hit2 clearance (nod to, Shai). Little Ivvy might stay. (He's always 50% or so TOG, as has been pointed out.) Not sure who goes...
If Sonsie comes in it's for Ralphsmith IMO.

Grimes out. Miller in? Biggy? Iesu. Is Hardwick going to play Balta back? Iesu. Maybe. Yeah.

In: Dion, Jack, Arthur.
Out: Aarts, Grimes, Hugo.

We need more run and GBWA (ground ball winning ability). We have too few runners and they are cooked by the 3rd.

Reckon we go something like (take Aarts out of the equation as he was only sub)

Out: Grimes, Soldo, Ross
In: Mansell, Jack, Prestia

Reasoning - we've got Balta who is still way better than the dogs number 2 ruck. They only have Naughton as an aerial threat in attack. If he gets hold of Tarrant Balta can also switch back there if needed (still have Jack and Tom).

We don't need/want anymore talls than that. Still probably a bit top heavy TBH.

Therefore Mansell plays ahead of Miller and will give us more rebound, GBWA and hardness. He is a lot better footballer, in better form.

The other way we might slice it is Baker/Edwards go back and Sonsie comes in. Probably for Hugo.

I like your thinking, Bryan. But just atm I'm ok with Ross.

Mansell. Hmmm. He has to come in. He is ahead of Sonsie. But a vacancy? He can't play midfield at this stage. Could he eventually pressure Baker?
 
I’m certain I don’t pick up on everything you’re putting down Jack….. but I agree with your ins and outs

Usually I'm trying to be intelligible, bpp. But I struggle with that!

If I'm getting loose I'm using hyperbole and understatement combined. eg Latvian Joke - For him struggle is over.

"I've never had an emotion." = Emotion is not a factor here - let us focus on what can be measured. Shai Bolton: disposals.

"My twin brother says that all emotions are lies after the fact." Understatement. All emotions are lies. (Joke.)

Anyways, thank you for the feedback, Sheeds. Mainly I'd like us to have a larf.

Outs wont be Cotch & Titch. Used by date in major running roles, last seasons end. You just do not sack them as they can still play secondary rolls off the bench. Gotta get Ross Baker Bolton Stack Parker Dow in the front row & step up to take the weight off Cotch & Titch.
